I can no clue where to start with this brand. I'd seen them around but never in the UK or any shops I frequent but finally I found them and was instantly drawn to this as my first try. It's not my scene at all. I get the exotic vibes of ylang in the opening and oh yeah it has a coffee (ish) note to it which actually comes over as a new thing. But that's with the freshness of the top notes, as it wears on I think it's a bit more predictable. It's patchouli heavy in that hyper feminine way that Mugler perfumes are for instance, chunky and even slightly unwieldy, considering their floral intent, which is jasmine and tuberose like also. I think it's worth a sniff for the opening intrigue and people who like a big perfumey, semi gourmand perfume with love the endless creamy drydown. I didn't. I couldn't wear this.

I'd love this if it didn't smell like cigarettes. The rest of the notes are wonderful, but I can't escape the cig butt smell, especially when on the skin. I'm looking for a decent ylang ylang scent that isn't crazy expensive. This sadly isn't it.
