  A curious fragrance. The opening is both green and floral, featuring a touch of mint and a neroli that resembles a bud, not fully bloomed. Coffee and tobacco are hinted at from the start, lending a dry, bitter air, though they are very subtle; the tobacco nearly disappears in the mid-stage. As time passes, the green notes yield to vanilla and balsams, turning it sweeter and creamier. The neroli eventually bursts into its full glory. The scent becomes more floral, bordering on feminine (in my taste) compared to the opening, yet remains comfortable. The coffee is still noticeable, though not as a distinct note, so if you want a potent coffee scent, this isn’t it. Ultimately, it leaves a vanilla-neroli blend with that light coffee whisper, minus the initial green facets. Performance is astonishing: a little goes a long way, lasting a minimum of 10 hours with good projection. Unisex, though it has more feminine phases. Ideal for any climate except extreme heat. To sum up: a beautiful perfume with logical evolution and great longevity, but it’s expensive. Worth a try, particularly if you’re seeking a neroli that isn’t overly feminine.

  Interesting scent. Starts green and floral with a hint of mint and a neroli that feels like a bud, not quite blooming yet. From the start, you can detect coffee and tobacco, giving it a dry, bitter edge, though the tobacco fades almost completely in the dry-down. Over time, the green notes give way to vanilla and balsams, becoming sweeter and creamier. The neroli finally explodes, making the perfume more floral and even slightly feminine (in my opinion), but not in a cloying way. The coffee remains present but isn’t the main focus, so if you’re looking for a strong coffee scent, look elsewhere. It settles into a vanilla-neroli base with a light coffee accent, leaving the initial green notes behind. Performance is amazing: a little goes a long way, lasting at least 10 hours with decent projection. It’s unisex, though with some feminine phases, and works in any weather except extreme heat. In short, it’s a lovely perfume with great evolution and longevity, but it’s pricey. I recommend trying it, especially if you’re hunting for a neroli that isn’t too feminine.

  Trying it out right now and honestly, I’m hooked. The blend of white florals, coffee, and sweetness works beautifully and lasts well. The only downside is the price; I don’t think I’ll be buying a bottle. It smells like something I’ve encountered before, but I can’t quite place which one.

  Trying it out right now and honestly, I like it. The mix of whites with coffee and a sweet touch works well and performs nicely. The issue is the price; I don’t think I’ll be taking it home. It smells like something I’ve tried before, but I can’t remember which one. Scent: 8 Longevity: 10 Sillage: 8 Value: 7 Versatility: 8 Overall: 8.5
