  1. They gave it to me for $20, a 30ml bottle containing 25ml of life. I bought it out of curiosity, knowing it was discontinued and that on eBay it’s worth around $300, so I thought it was a gem. Oh my goodness, what a delight! What a powerhouse scent, I’ll savor every drop. It starts spicy and sharp, fades quickly, then comes the cozy, sweet base where you can smell the pine—what a treat. It’s perfect for mild and cold weather, nothing for summer.

  2. Got this as a gift for just $20—a 30ml bottle with 25ml of life. I bought it out of curiosity, knowing it’s discontinued and sells for around $300 on eBay, so I thought it might be a gem. Holy cow, what a treat! So rich and intoxicating; I’ll savor every drop. It opens spicy and sharp, fades quickly, then settles into a cozy, sweet base where you can definitely smell the pine—absolutely delicious. Best for mild and cold weather, nothing for summer.

  3. It was a Christmas gift from my brother, a delicious and nocturnal fragrance, intoxicating and sensual. It’s enveloping, feels like a caress. I loved it while I had it, and unfortunately, it’s discontinued—a rare gem, always in my memory.
