Belerofonte
Rather inconcrete. It doesn’t leave anyone indifferent. Fresh opening, loaded with cardamomo, which reminds me of industrial soap (not unpleasant, surprising because it’s synthetic from start to finish). It has an interesting cold-warm sensation. It’s explosive and addictive, but evolves little into promising talc-like nuances that disappear quickly with terrible longevity. The wood isn’t noticeable and turns bitter. It has something addictive that makes you spray until the bottle flies. It’s surprising, you like it, but you hesitate to buy again.
Belerofonte
Rather undefined, but definitely not leaving anyone indifferent. It opens fresh, and in my opinion, with too much cardamomo that reminds me of industrial soap (don’t worry, it’s not ugly); what’s surprising is that it’s synthetic from start to finish, with that strange cold-warm sensation that makes it interesting. It’s explosive and addictive, but it stays there; it evolves very little into promising talc-like nuances that disappear quickly with terrible longevity. The wood is barely noticeable and turns slightly bitter. It has something that makes it so sticky you end up spraying non-stop until the bottle flies. It’s that surprising fragrance you like but always hesitate to buy again.

It smells very spicy, with lots of cardamom and clove, plus a powdery touch and a hint of sweetness. I can detect the sandalwood, but personally, I find it odd when mixed with those spices.

Very spicy scent (you can really smell the cardamom and cloves), powdery and sweet. The sandalwood stands out, but personally, I find it strange to mix it with spicy notes.

This perfume really goes ‘its own way.’ It’s true that it smells like freshly mixed wet cement. I don’t know what they did to the sandalwood to make it end up like this. It’s a pleasant scent that gives a fresh, even cold, sensation, a curious effect starting from a wood note. On the other hand, there’s something citrusy, something ‘soapy,’ but soft, which also adds freshness. The result is a totally unisex, very neutral and flat smell. Versatile in its own way, of course. Nothing remarkable in performance. I think the best part is that it’s quite original.
Demopop
I judged it quickly at first spray due to my expectations from the name and bottle. It’s not bad, but incoherent. Today, after trying it with a friend, I’m surprised. It’s dry, musky sandalwood, sweetened with something ‘chemical’ that’s pleasant and genderless. It has more going on: the first two hours are medicinal cardamom-menthol and herbs, with rosemary that has me crazy. Then the laboratory sandalwood, cold and warm, and the criticized smell appears: between cardboard and cement dust when opening a heavy bag, which stings the eyes. It contradicts with a mineral-wet smell like preticor that throws me off. In the end, the protagonist sandalwood with honeyed patchouli. I’ve felt many things, but it’s a wood-dry, sweet fragrance with little evolution. The bottle is a delight.

It’s wood, with lots of sandalwood, iris, and sweet spices that make it feminine. I didn’t buy it because it seemed ambiguous, low quality, and underperforming. It lasts little and is very linear.
