I want to say that this fragrance is terrible/awful whatever, because it's egregiously saccharine opening is only matched by it's appalling creamed tobacco drydown. Not only that but quite impressively it manages to shoehorn in the irritant that is the apple note/accord and yes you can smell that too despite all this other mental noise, including waxy floral note banana jasmine/ylang which lasts the first 30mins or so! And yet somehow I don't hate it. Yeah. Bizarre. I think I'm having a stroke or something? I mean it's bad. It's objectively bad but there's almost something admiral about the fact it concisely conveys all these things in one stonking, lump of a perfume. It's not for me, but it might be for someone. (with no taste, or who like I think I do, likes it ironically or for kitsch value)
Me encanta esta fragancia es tan suave. Mi única pega es que se convierte en un aroma de piel en mi cuerpo después de 4 horas, pero prefiero esta versión EDP a la extrait porque se puede usar en las noches de verano sin empalagar.
Me encanta Intense Red Tobacco y esta es una versión mejor y más suave. Es ligeramente dulce con el melocotón y un poco alcohólica con el ron. Gran fragancia.
I have been waiting that days are getting colder and I can wear this amazingly delicious fruity scent. I love it because it’s not light, girly nor boring like so many fruity scents. This is much more complex as well than many others with attempting fruity notes but not complexity with clearly three different stages but all the notes are blended perfectly instead. It’s sweet and many people would put it into the gourmand category but I don’t. The middle and the base notes make this scent a little bit mysterious keeping it easy to love regardless and it never gets dark. The scent cloud around the wearer is huge like is the scent trail. Those are not the most important thing for me but I have to say that if this scent would not have it, I think I would have never fallen in love with it. Peach and Apple are there from the start until the dry down which is not always the case in these kind of perfumes. Rum is not sharp and alcohol smelling, it’s utterly soft and enjoyable. Tobacco is not clearly smoky one, nor harsh, it’s charming with the sweetness from Vanilla. Neither of them, Rum nor Tobacco, dominates. This is one of my rare perfumes which my husband doesn’t like so much. If he says “so and so” the perfume is too sweet and crowd pleasing which is not always a bad thing. What about the scents with whose people are comparing this one: I can't stand Red Tobacco, it's a terrible synthetic bomb. And Carlisle? No, it's not the same. It's not bad but I would never buy that one. And this is not any PR. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
A lo largo de mi viaje por el mundo de las fragancias, había visto un sinfín de rumores sobre Triumph of Bacchus, así que tenía muchas ganas de ver a qué se debía tanta expectación. Como mínimo, me decepcionó. Es una fragancia gourmand agradable, dulce y alcohólica con elementos afrutados, similar a Side Effect pero mejor. El acorde de ron es agradable, lo admito, no es demasiado fuerte pero sí lo bastante perceptible como para dar un toque de distinción al aroma. La jugosidad de la manzana verde y el melocotón seco crean un aura dulce que se ve reforzada por la cremosidad de la vainilla y la tonka. Es una fragancia agradable y agradable de llevar, pero si soy sincera, mis expectativas eran más altas. He oído que el extracto es mejor, así que tal vez lo pruebe, pero por ahora disfrutaré de mi muestra, pero no tengo interés en comprar un frasco.
Good fruity sweet tobacco opening, with a wonderful vanilla peach and tobacco drydown! Good for fall and winter!
