Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I’m obsessed. It smells bohemian and oriental with the elegance of neroli. It’s not for everyone; it evokes a modern Arab princess, like stepping into an exotic antique shop from distant lands.
I love it; it smells bohemian, oriental, but with the elegance of nard. I don’t think it’s for everyone. It makes me think of a modern Arab princess, in exotic antique shops in distant lands.
I was gifted a 12ml sample. At first, it didn’t impress me at all, but a few minutes in, it reminded me of Angel Elixir, which is my favorite. I honestly don’t know what notes they share. Maybe the neroli is noticeable at first, then it turns sweeter. It has good projection for the first hour.
I was gifted a 12ml sample. At first, it didn’t convince me much, but a few minutes later, it reminds me of Angel Elixir, which I adore. I don’t know what notes they share for sure, maybe nard is felt in the opening and then it becomes sweeter. It has good projection for the first hour.
What a nightmare. I was sent a 12.5ml bottle and a small sample as a gift. I knew I wouldn’t like it because I hate neroli; it’s always made me sick since I was a child. This scent takes me straight back to childhood funerals; it’s very serious and solemn, but horrible. And it never goes away, for the love of God. It has all the potential to cause migraines. This scent existed before, it’s not new. Does anyone know if it’s a reissue? I don’t understand launching it as a novelty if it’s a vintage smell. Extremely horrendous and hard to tolerate.
It’s horrible, a nightmare. They sent me a 12.5ml bottle and another sample as a gift. I knew I wouldn’t like it because I hate nard; it messes me up since I was a child. This scent takes me straight back to childhood; I’ve smelled it on ladies at funerals; it’s very serious and awful. And it never goes away, for God’s sake. It has all the potential to cause migraines. This scent existed before; it’s vintage, so I don’t understand the launch as a novelty. Very horrendous and hard to endure.
I get the same grape bubblegum aroma from the original, an effect of mixing neroli with pear and an acidic apple. I think the differences are subtle, like a very noticeable toasted almond, and it’s sweeter. When it dries down, you can detect the myrrh, another difference. As for performance on my skin, it has moderate trail and average longevity.
I smell the same grape gum from the original, the effect of nard with pear and a sour apple. I think it only has subtle differences, like a very noticeable roasted almond and more sweetness. As it dries, you notice the myrrh, another distinction. On my skin, it has moderate sillage and average longevity.
I agree with Faroli’s review; on my skin, it’s quite linear: opoponax, vetiver, myrrh, and Benzoin. Maybe when it dries down, I sense the slightly bubblegummy neroli of the EDP, and it vaguely reminds me of another perfume’s Parfum version. It’s nothing novel; I’ve smelled this before. It reminds me of Extrac, or Absolu de L’Veb, or even My Way Parfum; I don’t know why. I wouldn’t buy it.
It’s delicious, ideal for nighttime and special occasions. For daily wear, the EDP version is perfect. I don’t see this Parfum version as very unisex; for that, there’s the Absolu, which is totally unisex.
I tested it a couple of hours ago. It starts like the classic but fruitier. I don’t smell much neroli. Now as it dries down, it becomes slightly unisex; I get a very soft leather vibe. Absolutely delicious. Call me crazy, but on my dry skin, it smells like Bérénice by Hermès.
I tested it quickly on a blotter and was surprised; it seemed like an incredible masculine point, like the whole line, but I still prefer the classic!
I tested it in the store and perceived more floral than fruity. After a couple of hours, I detected a quite familiar scent… I smelled my wrist and remembered the original Angel or Demon, before the reformulation, which was my niche perfume in my 20s. I don’t know if it’s just my pH or if it truly has that inspiration. I’ll test it again, and if it is, I’ll buy it without a doubt.
I’m a man looking for something for winter. I spent almost an hour in London’s Duty Free trying everything; this one convinced me, so I bought it. Even though they say it’s for women, it’s unisex depending on your personality. That’s why Givenchy chose Hyunjin from Stray Kids. It’s a perfume for cold days or dates.
I’m a man and was looking for a winter fragrance. I was in the Duty Free in London a few days ago, testing everything for about an hour. This fragrance convinced me, and I bought it, even though they say it’s for women; the truth is, it’s unisex depending on your personality. That’s why Givenchy chose Hyunjin from Stray Kids as the face. Perfume exclusively for cold days or dates.
Starts with a touch of mimosa, but on the skin, vetiver, myrrh, and opoponax take over until the end. Nard is there in the background, but the other promised notes never arrive. The quality is top-notch, like all Interdits, but for me, it smells very harsh, unisex, and outdated. What a pity; I’ll have to wait for the next release.
