Takis, from Farmacia SS. Annunziata was released at unknown year. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Lemon, Orange, Pepper, Sage, and Thyme, middle notes of Oakmoss, Rose, Wormwood, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Musk, Oak, and Vanilla.
I'd describe Takis as a creamy/herby/floral scent which is dominated in the opening by one note...Vanilla. It's that combination with a strong white musk and herbs, thyme and sage which make that sickly and vaguely reminiscent combo of lavender/musk/vanilla from things like JPG Le Male or MDCI Invasion Barbare. The top notes are an unmistakable ylang ylang which can be divine or awful dependent on composition and luckily in this case its okay. For something so creamy and vanilla like it dies a quick death on my skin, which is not that disappointing because I'm not fully on board with this sort of scent anyway. It's a well blended piece which doesn't offend me but doesn't ignite a spark in me either. If I had the option I'd get Histoires 1725 or Invasion barbare instead.
