Wow! This guy really knows his stuff when it comes to perfumes, honestly. Such a refined work—you don’t smell individual notes, but rather a sweet and mysterious journey: sometimes almond, sometimes dark and woody with a smoky touch. It’s almost like his take on Babycat; it doesn’t copy the scent but captures that style, that constant sweet/dark balance. From wood to almond, from caramelized nuts to smoke, and suddenly a ray of saffron cuts through the mix like Fruit Ninja, leaving its trail between white and black as a mediator. Sorry, I got a bit carried away. Maybe I’d be overwhelmed by a full bottle, but a 20ml on sale could be interesting.
