If Devotion, which it is compared to, is a vanilla cupcake with candied fruits, then Victoria is lemon candies. There is no pastry for me here, and consequently, no similarity either.

An hour after application, this is a mix of Joop Homme and Poison EDT plus ambroxan. It sounds like this until the end. Unisex. Long-lasting and has a sillage.

My mistake was trying to appreciate it from the blotter, where I only detected damp wood. Then I applied it to my skin and a miracle happened: at first, there was a lot of pepper, salt, and wood, then the pepper receded, an iris roughness appeared, and the salt became fresh, like in Olympea by Paco Rabanne. Then, distinctly and until the end, there was gentle sandalwood with a barely noticeable hint of some tobacco (cashmeran?) and vetiver, and probably heated sand under the sun.

Amber with medicinal notes quickly becomes overly sweet on warm skin and loses its interest. I love amber fragrances, but for me, Ambre Imperial is very simple, there's nothing for the nose to latch onto.

If you are just starting to dive into the "world of amber," give it a try.

Very long-lasting perfume, literally until the shower, diffusive, with a long sillage.

I am not familiar with the TV version, but I can only imagine its diffusion and sillage)))

For me, the scent is chypre-citrus-floral, with a light woodiness; it has both cold and warmth, a bit of sweetness and powderiness like in Allure Sensuelle by Chanel.

As for its similarity to Coco Mademoiselle, in terms of direction, definitely yes, as well as patchouli; for me, they are the same both ways.

And if Diamant had been released under the Chanel brand, it would have been much more popular.

In the humid heat of +30, cinnamon dominates on my skin!!! It’s as if you’re inhaling the scent of freshly ground cinnamon from a jar. And a hint of clove (flower) with ylang-ylang. Overall, the fragrance is perceived as somewhat oily, which wasn’t the case in cold weather.

In winter, however, the scent was completely different; it mainly featured aldehydes and tuberose, with a touch of bitterness - bergamot? - and gradually became powdery, by the way, the powder is a very beautiful vanilla, but the beginning was quite sharp.

A very juicy, natural citrus-ginger start! Right now, in hot weather, there’s no sharpness; on the contrary, it’s refreshingly pleasant.

As it unfolds, it becomes softer, revealing floral notes, but I can’t say that it’s exactly magnolia, although I adore its scent.

In the end, it leaves a saltiness on the skin, very gentle, like a sea evening breeze. It lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours.
