I get it, it’s a complex and sophisticated fragrance, but on my skin, the clove is way too strong. That note dominates so much that it feels invasive and annoying from the very first second through the dry-down. I imagine if they toned down the clove a bit, it would be gorgeous: the juiciness of the plum paired with a powdery, creamy iris, thanks to the vetiver and cashmere, clean and sweet… but everything is buried under a shrill clove. What a shame, a definite no for me.

I agree with Antonio, and I’ll add that it gives me a bit of a whiff of Musc Ravageur 🤷🏻♂️

Tested in-store, the first impressions are of a very spicy scent where clove and pepper take the lead. I catch hints of cinnamon (not listed) and a subtle, elegant vanilla as it dries down. It smells like Christmas—cozy and perfect for fall and winter. The longevity on my skin was about 6-7 hours with moderate projection. I absolutely loved this new fragrance from the house and don’t rule out buying the 50ml bottle in the future.
