Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Chatoyant is marketed as a chypre inspired by Marrakech, but upon trying it, I found something quite different. The opening is very fruity with a beautiful bergamot, followed by floral notes dominated by jasmine without losing that sweetness. In the dry down, I don’t detect any chypre accord; instead, I sense a lot of musk and woods, especially cedar. The spicy touch they mention isn’t noticeable to me—it might fade quickly, but in my wearings, I’ve never smelled it, and no notes suggest it. It smells great, has great presence, is sweet, unisex but with more feminine and seductive character. The trail is notable for the first two hours before settling into a more moderate projection. Longevity exceeds 12 hours on skin and fixes very well on clothes. From the start, it reminds me of Xerjoff’s Erba Pura. While they aren’t identical, they follow the same aromatic line and price point (Iruela’s is slightly cheaper with slightly lower but still excellent longevity and projection). Personally, I’d stick with Xerjoff, but if Erba Pura overwhelms you and you’re looking for something in its line that’s kinder, yet still intense, Chatoyant is a good alternative. Scent: 8.5/10, Longevity: 10/10, Sillage: 8.5/10, Value: 8/10, Packaging: 7.5/10. Would I buy again? No, I didn’t purchase it.
