Sacred Bond, from Reinvented was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, and Raspberry, middle notes of Gardenia, Jasmine, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Caramel, Musk, Saffron, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.
To put this simply, Sacred Bond has too much going on for me. I like sweet fragrances as much as the next person but this is simply a bit too much in my opinion, it might be the raspberry which puts me off. This scent is dominated by an intense raspberry note, a note I already know I rarely get along with. Alongside this you’ve got the sticky syrupy nature of a caramel accord which is then contrasted by the zesty sharpness of mandarin and bergamot. Rather than continuing down gourmand territory, you’re then greeted by a white floral heart which seems very much out of place to me. This scent is alright I guess, it’s nothing special in my eyes and I think there are better options from Reinvented. As I said above it’s simply a bit too busy for my liking, there doesn’t seem to be much continuity or harmony between the notes - instead it feels like a bit of a mess. Overall it’s pleasant, but not my thing.
