If you can get past the pretty rough opening, you’ll find the beauty in this fragrance. Don’t overspray cause the projection and sillage are top notch. Give it a try and just wait till the dry down starts to really enjoy this. Very misunderstood fragrance
Instant love. Whereas a lot of fragrances of this genre would have some harsh ambro-underbelly, this is smooth sailing right to the end. I'm surprised how I didn't find the harsh opening others have mentioned here. Santal 33 is way harsher to my nose.
Okay so people who read my various reviews around the place will probably be either bracing themselves for a bile filled diatribe, or a contrarian 'hey it's not so bad' sort of review which will piss off my snobby fragrance pals who think I should be preprogrammed to shit all over this at first sniff. Well it's neither and both. I don't know if that's reflective of my lack of energy in discussing a bad perfume (make no mistake this is a bad perfume) but I just kinda want to blow a massive raspberry and throw my sample in the bin!
