This is a mall vanilla, grown up. For how strictly sweet it is, there is enough complexity to make this feel more mature than many standard gourmands. Strongly evokes candied nuts for me which I think is its best quality. I don‘t want a full bottle of this, but I’m glad I tried it.
I get very green and a little powder. Good level of complexity, but doesn‘t rise to the level of great for me. I’d like more floral balance or more dedication to green spice.
This is my old ladies signature scent. She absolutely loves it gets so many compliments from her co workers. she gatekeeps it though and won't share so I'm here for you all.
This is a darker thick spicy cherry scent. spice like incents not hot peppers. the chocolate note gives it some warmth in the dry down. has a very powdery skin scent when you get in close makes me want to nibble a little to see if she'd taste as good as she smells.
she had one co worker tell her she can smell her 2 offices down the hall when she arrives, and another says it fills her office when she walks by. it's powerful is what I'm getting at
Jo Milano knocked it out of the park again with this one. It's that grapefruit ginger musk combo that has been tearing up the fragrance scene lately.
I love it opens with this sharp but not unpleasant grapefruit. The ginger gives it a bite that lingers through the drydown. This is an airy scent that has a great sillage.
i get a good 8 hours out of it i could still smell it on me after a 12 hour shift but it was a skin scent by then. Good for a man or a woman works best on hot summer days in my opinion
My favourite perfume. The best of the best. No other comes even close. I still have a tiny bit of it and I only use it few times a year. My heart breaks that it is discontinued
Penhaligon’s version of a Calvin Klein frag.
Bright zingy aromatic citrus, soft musky base with hits of wood and floral.
Really nice and I picked this up pretty cheap too.
Beautifully soft, powdery and musky floral with warm woody tones. Really cosy and comforting without getting too sweet - just fruity enough
Marissa Zappas Carnival of Souls An involuntary grimace quickly smoothed into polite blankness, a gagging masked by a throat-clearing. "Is everything ok?" "Oh, it's nothing, I'm fine" and proceeds to throw up in mouth just a little, not too obvious. Honeyed floral cream turning sour, saffron like dried grass mixed into warm milk that's started to separate. Coconut cream sweet and plasticky with oddly-spiced grave dirt patchouli sediment settling at the bottom. An eerie seriousness that doesn't land and instead evokes a wobbling, wonky naiveté, dewy-eyed and desperate so much as to be repellent. I've found everything I have tried from Marissa Zappas too subtle, too fleeting, stories in which the characters and plots are instantly forgettable, leaving you wondering if anything ever happened at all. Carnival of Souls continues this pointless parade of almost-perfumes.
Loved the scent. Found it to be a very elegante and matured rose profile. Unfortunately, longevity and specially sillage were too short on me. Other than that, would love it to be my rose fragrance.
Tried Rude Oud for the first time, it wasn’t so rude! Fruity berries with a sligtly dirty oud - completely wearable!
This was fine, but for all the notes listed it didn’t amount to much on the skin.
It smells like a woman shampoo.
I'm just not fan of it, it's too much gourmand for me.
The scent itself is 5*. Beautifully fresh and zingy with a little greenery and tangy fruits. The rhubarb note just fizzes from the skin.
I layer this with ADP Arancia La Spugnatura.
I'm sure it would go great with Afternoon Swim and the likes too.
Opens with this sweet mango and other citrus notes slightly floral. Its sweet but not juvenile after 15 or so minutes the mango settles out the woods and florals come through. Its still light and airy not dark or brooding like GOF after the 1.5 hour mark and up the mango slightly sweetness comes back and as the florals die down it does warm up ever so slightly but still light and airy a perfect unisex scent
I get 8 hours of longevity the silliage on this is amazing everyone will be letting you know how good you smell
Love this scent reminds me of sweet candys super love
ONE OF THE BEST DESIGNER O.A.T
As you may know this is a dupe of PDM althiar, I recently went to go smell PDM althiar and I would not be able to tell the difference. This IS a must have.
This is a very good fragrance I highly recommend
Soft, ghostly florals under a silver sky. Dancing on the Moon by Maison Margiela feels ethereal, cool, and otherworldly — like moonlight made perfume. It opens with airy aldehydes and luminous jasmine sambac, giving it a soft, celestial lift. The heart is rich with creamy frangipani and powdery iris, evoking moonlit florals with a dreamlike quality. As it dries down, ambergris, cashmeran, and musk wrap the skin in a delicate, radiant warmth. This is a beautiful ethereal scent and I love it so much so that I bought the bottle. 10/10
Lovely scent opens with a fruity, fresh airy rose and is very similar to Arabian Lady by Azha. This dries down to a rosy musky woody scent.
A nice scent, although it’s not in the notes it smells like soapy, neroli spicy scent. It reminds me of Guerlain Neroli Vetiver but a slightly muted version. A good everyday scent that’s a bit more unique than the other designer fragrances.
Sexy, sultry jasmine bomb. Not for the faint hearted 10/10
I cannot pick out any of the individual notes. But it is one of the most realistic gardenia scents. Not just the pretty sides. Also the slight mushroomy sides. Its not just a soliflore either. Smells like slightly aquatic like flower stalks sitting in water. Lovely perfume and was surprised how long it lasted on my skin. Almost 12 hrs in the summer!
