  Curious perfume with a pleasant, well-blended scent: oud, lavender, and chocolate. Reminds me a bit of Drops Barcelona’s Chocolate Oud and Francis Kurkdjian’s Crime, but if I had to choose, I’d stick with Kurkdjian—it’s more intense, longer-lasting, and cheaper. I don’t get why the 50ml version costs €35 more than the rest of the brand. If it were priced normally at €160, maybe I’d add it to my collection, but since I don’t see anything special about it and there are other F&M perfumes with more oud and a lower concentration that feel better, in this case, it’s a… Next! Longevity is decent, among the best from the brand and on par with Charlatan or Harem Rose, but still moderate for the price, especially when it’s even more expensive. Projection and sillage, like with all F&M fragrances, are extremely weak. To sum up, it smells great, but in my opinion, it doesn’t justify its price (though obviously, brands set their own prices, and if they can sell it this way, maybe it’s an exclusivity or segmentation strategy). I bought the Discovery Set thinking I’d love it all, and now I’m torn between Charlatan and Harem Rose, but none of them make me say: ‘I want it now!’ It’s for when I have money and no other perfume I truly like… I see it as more of a night fragrance, though given its mediocre performance, it wouldn’t be a crime to wear it in any situation… Scent: 8.5 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Value for money: 4.5 Versatility: 6 Originality: 7.5 Overall: 8
