  1. A woodsy lemon sorbet is the best way I can describe it, at least on my skin that’s how it feels. Very pleasant, long-lasting, and makes a strong impression.

  2. It smells like a lemon sorbet with a woody note, exactly what I notice on my skin. It’s super pleasant, lasts well, and has great presence.

  3. The opening with bergamot and ginger is spectacular, though it fades quickly. Then the woods take over and stay there all day, juicy and fresh with a sap-like sweetness. The trail is noticeable and lasts over 12 hours. It leans slightly masculine, but it’s a delicious perfume I absolutely love and smells incredibly elegant. It has the same vibe as Bois Imperial by Essential Parfums, which is my favorite and already in my collection. The Hedonist is fresher with slightly less projection, though it’s still notable. I find Bois Imperial more unisex and my preferred choice, although I’ve also loved The Hedonist. The price difference between the two is huge, so I’ll stick with the Essential Parfums one. What a shame to finish the sample! Scent 8/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 8/10, Value for money 5/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 7.5/10. Would I buy it again? No, I didn’t purchase it.

    Amazing fragrance. It absolutely blew my mind today. Definitely adding to my collection. It’s a Miu Miu scent but with a masculine twist. Totally addictive and very versatile. You have to try this one.
