UPDATED. I’m sorry, but NO, it doesn’t smell good. It smells like a poorly made chemical fixative, something I notice in Arabic perfumes with oud that I’m tired of. In others it gets buried, here it takes over and buries everything else. It was a blind buy to fill the cart and I regret it deeply. I tried it twice with a week in between and both times I ended up washing my arm in a panic. It hurts to write such a negative review, but it’s the worst on the market; I try to be measured, though I leave open the possibility the bottle wasn’t stored well. I’ll test it again in a few months, but I absolutely do not recommend it. Two months later, I confirm this is the first time I’ve thrown a perfume in the trash.

Smells like panic on the subway or being denied boarding on a plane. I wanted to know if it emulates Ombre Nomade, but the opening is a chemical slap, like nail polish remover mixed with acrylic paint, raspberry, and an acidic sweat that smells like terror. Nothing balances it; even the plastified leather seems rotten and synthetic. After an hour, the heart improves with a stinging saffron and incense, and the base is a super-synthetic oud with cardamom. It has similarities to ON, but it lacks that mystical depth and superiority. It’s cheap, evolves poorly, and I don’t recommend buying it blind.

I understand the positives and negatives: this is the king of DO NOT BUY BLIND, you either love it or hate it to death, reviews don’t help, you have to smell it. I liked it, but for strange reasons: it smells like the past, like a visit to an older person’s house, with medicines, old soaps, and stacked clothes that are no longer sold. I put it on my arm last night and couldn’t stop smelling it fascinated. I wouldn’t wear it to go out, only to enjoy it privately.

I get both the positives and negatives: this is the king of ‘DON’T BUY BLINDLY’—you either love it or hate it to death; reviews don’t matter, you have to smell it. I liked it, but for strange reasons: it smells like the past, like a visit to an older couple’s house with medicine, old soaps, and stacked clothes that no longer sell. Last night I put it on my arm and couldn’t stop sniffing it fascinated. I wouldn’t wear it to go out, only to enjoy it in private.

It’s spectacular all around, Perfume Monster! Good, pretty, cheap, with excellent longevity and sillage; many designer houses would kill to have perfumes at this level. I bought one and ordered two more immediately, and luckily because it was 13€ on Notino and now they’re out of stock; I’ve seen it ridiculously expensive on other websites, I hope Notino restocks it at a good price.

For the first time, I’m throwing a perfume in the trash. It’s the most chemical and unpleasant smell I’ve heard in a long time. I’m putting it back up in case anyone is considering buying this disaster.

Incredible fragrance for a ridiculous price, some brands should take note.
