It’s a hidden gem, just like others say. It shares the same charisma as Black Phantom and Insomnia by Faviol Seferi, but it’s a bit more wearable without losing its exclusivity. It defines sexy, perfect for dates (obviously over 25). The longevity is brutal and the evolution is masterful: it starts floral, reminiscent of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, and dries down to earthy chocolate with vanilla and coffee notes; it even smells like that kulfi from Noir Extreme. Watch out, Fragrantica lists the notes poorly and calls it Orchid Leather without mentioning orchid or leather.

A true gem where dark, deep labdanum is the star, accompanied by semi-liqueur plum and the spiced sweetness of vanilla and cardamom. Some compare it to Black Phantom, but I prefer this one; it’s more usable and less sweet.

Intoxicating fragrance: potent vanilla with intense leather and a gummy touch. Incense and boozy plum appear in the dry down. It smells sweet but has a dark personality. High longevity, it lingers on clothes, so be careful. The sillage is powerful, no more than three sprays. It’s singular and addictive, not for everyone, especially not for conventional vanilla lovers.
