Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Top-tier perfume, perfect for cold weather. It reminds me a bit of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, but once it dries down, you can tell they’re totally different. On my skin, it smells like narcissus, sandalwood, and oud. It’s unisex, though the bottle leans more feminine. Lasts over 10 hours—it’s a beast. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something intense and bold, not for those who just want fruity florals.
