Bitter citrus and marine notes, with a metallic touch that might come from ambergris. Perfumon!
Bitter citrus and marine notes. To me, it has a metallic touch, not sure if it’s the ambergris. Perfumon!
Finally, something I’ve never smelled before, very different. While the opening of Overdose sounds like a sweet-and-sour citrus cocktail, it’s not. It’s like a pressure cooker only letting out vapors: contained citrus over wood and cardamom, with flowers appearing late and without sweetness. It’s oriental but not very versatile; it changes depending on the skin and isn’t always exciting. It’s not bad, but far from my favorite citrus scents; it doesn’t shine, it’s more gloomy, like someone who has never seen direct sunlight.
I don’t understand why people say it smells bad. A sewer? Yes. A trash container? Yes. But this one? No. It’s a different citrus, high quality, ambroxanized with a slight ‘dirty’ but subtle touch. Lasts longer than usual for its category. Ideal for spring/summer, semi-formal, versatile, and unique.
Disappointment. I had high expectations thanks to favorable reviews from trusted people and tested it blind several times. Glad I held out until the vial from Europe arrived. Total letdown. Smells like a mineralized citrus drink, without freshness or elegance. An forgettable and boring scent.
Although I love citrus, for me it’s the most unpleasant one I’ve ever forgotten in my life. I say this respectfully, but tastes vary.
I bought it for that super fresh, citrusy opening, but I never imagined it would end up smelling like dirty laundry and dry saliva. I gave it two tries and that’s it. This fragrance is going straight into my ‘never again’ collection.
I bought it for its fresh citrus opening, but I never imagined it would evolve into a dirty cloth and dry saliva smell. I gave it two chances and will never use it again. The result is a fragrance that will forever remain full in my collection.
It doesn’t last more than 3-4 hours for me; everyone on social media says it lasts forever, but it doesn’t for me. I recommend buying a decant first, the same happened to me with Acqua di Sale.
Similar to Arrakis or Tygar, it’s good for summer, but I have to apply it three times a day because of how little it lasts on me.
Final verdict: I don’t like it. The bitterness of the grapefruit mixes with cardamom and tons of something like ambroxan, making it seem overly coated and excessively sour. Only the beginning is lively; afterward, it’s linear. It lasts forever; one time it even gave me a sense of dislike.
A hidden gem: a full-bodied citrus with great longevity and projection. Smells like a gin and tonic, it’s a pleasure to wear. If you’re looking for a citrus scent that wakes you up, this is it. Ten points!
A little-known marvel, a citrus with presence, longevity, and projection. Smells like a gin tonic, a pleasure to wear. If you like energizing citrus, this is ideal. A 10 out of 10.
Their citrus notes are on another level; the longevity speaks for itself, and the trail screams good taste and originality with a serious edge. It has aura without being over-the-top, surprising without trying to grab attention or create addiction, just using top-tier ingredients and a love for the natural. The citrus I can never live without. Chapeau!
