An excellent fragrance, I use it at night. It’s slightly sweet and the notes are very well balanced. The honey gives it that delicious touch, while the almond and acacia add elegance. Highly recommended!

Top fragrance for nighttime, slightly sweet with very balanced notes. The honey adds a delicious touch while the almond and acacia bring a lot of elegance. Totally recommended!

This is a fragrance I genuinely loved. It has spicy, musky, aromatic, and sweet facets, with especially great evolution at the beginning. The notes unfold like soft touches on piano keys forming a melody. At the opening, you first notice pepper and bergamot. Quickly, musk appears, and a minute later, very aromatic lavender. A few minutes in, the honey starts to bathe the other notes. In the heart, there’s a floral side that feels sunny and cheerful, making me think of yellow flowers, though I don’t recognize any specific one. As it moves to the base, the spicy sweetness of tonka emerges with an almond counterpoint that adds an intriguing bitterness. While the lavender in a sweet composition reminds me of Mon Guerlain, to me it’s not a clone. The distinguishing notes for my nose are the honey, almond, and musk, which give it an interesting twist. In my opinion, both perfumes are excellent for everyday wear, with a classic character and informal elegance. It has moderate projection and lasts about 7-8 hours on my skin, longer on clothes. I believe this fragrance is no longer available in Spain. In this case, Mon Guerlain and Guess Seductive Noir can offer a scent profile going in the same direction. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 7.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 5/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 5/10. Would I buy it again? I didn’t purchase it.

Honestly, I absolutely loved this perfume. It has spicy, musky, aromatic, and sweet facets, with an incredible evolution at the start. The notes unfold like piano keys forming a melody: first pepper and bergamot, then musk and aromatic lavender, followed by honey bathing everything. In the heart, there’s something floral, sunny, and cheerful, reminding me of yellow flowers though I can’t pinpoint a specific one. At the base, the spicy sweetness of tonka pairs with an almond counterpoint that adds an intriguing bitterness. While it recalls Mon Guerlain due to the lavender in a sweet base, it’s not a clone; the honey, almond, and musk give it an interesting twist. Both are great for everyday wear, classic yet informally elegant. Projection is moderate and lasts about 7-8 hours on skin, longer on clothes. I can’t find it here in Spain anymore. If you’re looking for something similar, Mon Guerlain or Guess Seductive Noir go in the same direction. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 7.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 5/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 5/10. Would I buy it again? I didn’t purchase it.
