    the final execution feels stuck in a dated, cliché citrus/floral lane. The Ladrón stole the roses and the ability to pull off the idea well.

  2. drakecito

    A very peculiar and distinct rose scent. It’s basically patchouli with rose and a plum note I can’t quite detect. It doesn’t smell fresh, and in my opinion, there’s too much patchouli, making it excessively camphoraceous. It smells like what Count Dracula would wear, with a melancholic, almost gothic vibe. Perfect for a gray, rainy day. While it’s not one of my favorites and I don’t love it, it’s interesting and I recommend it; I’ve ended up using more of it than I planned. Declared masculine, it’s 100% unisex, with a medium-low sillage and good longevity (6-7 hours), though perhaps a bit short.
