This is very similar to Amouage Lyric Man but with added spice. This has average performance and sillage.
Just get Lyric Man if you want a clean soapy rose. IMHO, it is superior in every way.
One of the most slept on from this brand. This fragrance is phenomenal. This has become my go to every day easy wear fragrance for the winter/fall. You could also pull this off on a cool spring evening as well. City rhythm rarely misses and Tempo is yet another example of solid fragrance.
Guidance 46 is an intensely powerful, long-lasting fragrance that truly makes a statement. It opens with creamy pear and hazelnut, blooms into rich florals, and settles into a warm, resinous base of sandalwood, vanilla, and ambergris. It leans feminine because of the lush floral sweetness, but anyone confident can wear it. Projection and longevity is crazy. (all day). Its is a perfume that will leave an impression and lots compliments. Its Bold, addictive and a masterpiece from Quentin Bisch.
Amber Aoud helps you test the waters of oud. As it isnt a prominent note. But beautifully blended throughout. Its is distinctly opulent. It is for someone who wants to smell powerful, confident and unmistakably expensive. Strengths: Superb quality raw materials. Good longevity. Especially on clothing. Although can stain so use with caution. It is a complex and evolving fragrance like all Roja Dove. Stunning bottle presentation
This house is about to pop off!! New Eden is easily 10/10. If you like scents like bal dafrique absolu or LV Symphony, then you’ll love this!!!
Hawaii Volcano is a sparkling coconut with a floral musk dry-down. It's linear and completely unisex. It needs more fruit or spice or something. I don't find it particularly interesting and sillage is limited so I like to layer it with something more fruity, aquatic or sweet.
Ronaldo is the GOAT
A radiant, more floral and decidedly more daytime interpretation of the classic Mon Paris. The fresh, fruity opening flows seamlessly into a soft bouquet of flowers, before settling into a musky woody base with a subtle touch of patchouli. The composition is light, luminous and very feminine, perfect for spring and summer. It reminds me of the days just before the summer holidays, a warm evening outside my grandmother’s house, when a gentle breeze carries the sweet scent of peonies from the garden. There’s something nostalgic about it, yet fresh and carefree. Longevity is around six hours, with moderate projection.
french elegance with a flirtatious twist. Sparkling mandarin, spicy ginger and black pepper open the show, before ripe quince, orange blossom and jasmine melt into a golden sweetness. As it settles, woody amber and a touch of patchouli add depth and warmth. Intimate projection, around 5 hours longevity.An evening in Paris, city lights, lingering glances… and maybe, just maybe, not tonight.
Beautiful scent and lovely weighted bottle
It's a zesty watermelon. I like wearing it to bed since it lasts about as long as it takes to fall asleep.
Fruit salad and peridot crystals. I like wearing it to bed since it lasts no longer than it takes to fall asleep.
There is something way about this, like a perfect yellow lemon you buy at the store in any month of the year and cut up for garnish on a plate. The lemons from my own garden are lumpier, dirtier, oilier and juicier, but I still buy lemons at the store since I never have enough.
It smells like walking through a bakery with chocolate wafting through the air rather than a chocolate gourmand. Big sillage gets a lot of attention. Layers well with creamy florals.
A slightly skanky lemon, like standing on a terrace in the humid morning before the day becomes unbearably hot. It lasts a long time as the lemon here is lemongrass.
Topaz crystals can be blue to brown to yellow, which influences my perception of this fragrance. The bottle is vaguely blue, and the fragrance starts out as a typical blue scent with aromatic citrus. The scent turns yellow as florals kick in, then brown with thin, unisex wood. Save this crystal gem for summer as it quickly dulls in cold weather.
Floral from start to finish, begining with a geranium note that turns powdery then soapy. It's like a garden in back of a townhouse inspired by a cottage garden. It's not as chaotic, messy and varied as an established cottage garden. Tattoo is a restrained, less than wild green, but it has great longevity, sitting on the skin for 8+ hours. My bottle looks different.
Soapy lemongrass. Lasts 5-6 hours.
Thebes became on of my favorite perfumes of all time. Sultan's brilliant creation combining vintage style and modern creativity. A unique composition with personality and great storytelling. Phenomenal!
You can find a long review on my site.
Fresh peeled oranges at first opening going on to the santal and green scent love it wish it had more projections
Tempted by the promise of apricot and florals, I decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm died within seconds. The opening is distinctly spicy, instead of juicy apricot, I mainly get cardamom and nutmeg. There’s no fruity softness; it’s dry and sharp, like opening a kitchen cupboard full of spices. After a while, a floral blend appears, generously drenched in honey. These aren’t fresh, radiant blooms, though, but rather dried bouquets forgotten in the attic, with a waft of tobacco lingering in the background. The whole thing reminds me of an old herbal apothecary or a heavy, dusty curtain in a vintage theatre. In the base, I pick up cypriol and, unfortunately, even more of the tobacco I personally struggle with. I can hardly detect any saffron, musk or vanilla. Longevity is very good, projection moderate, and the composition is undoubtedly complex and well crafted. I can appreciate the artistry, but it’s simply not my sort of thing.
it’s s a unisex composition with a floral powdery character, resting on a woody suede base. The fragrance is undeniably elegant, although in my opinion the name feels slightly overstated, as the scent it’s far from true lust.
The opening is a soapy violet, with a touch of rum and a hint of ginger. It then develops into a creamy, softly powdery floral heart, before settling into a smooth blend of sandalwood and suede. Elegant, soft and without any sharp edges. From the name, I expected something more in the vein of high heels and daring lingerie, but what I received was more like an innocent girl in a nightdress buttoned right up to the collar.
Beautiful balance between a dry green oakmossy Chypre, and a fresh spicy/woody Eau de Cologne.
Chienoir opens fresh spicy/woody, with dry pepper and a slightly sweet/bitter orange and green juniper berry. I get a woody green neroli in the mid with opoponax carrying the spiciness into the mid. There is a bone-dry, almost mineralic oakmoss/patchouli accord running through from top to base. A dry tobacco and ambroxan-like musk join in the base to finish the perfume. Simply magnificent. Feels like an Ellena at his peak. Top marks to Breadle for this masterpiece!
A friendly, versatile fragrance that’s simply liked by most. A safe choice that rarely offends and often earns compliments. The opening is sweet and almost creamy, like ripe mango puree softened with a touch of fresh, uplifting bergamot. At the heart, jasmine adds a feminine softness and lightness, while the composition rests on a vanilla woody base that gives it warmth and smoothness. It reminds me of a summer afternoon and a light, floaty dress, pleasant, easy going and uncomplicated. Longevity is around three hours, with rather subtle projection. I do enjoy wearing it because it’s effortless, but honestly, the most memorable thing about it is the bottle itself.
