Sumptuous, syrupy jasmine on a thick bed of tuberose and tobacco. I don't get much vanilla, but the elemi gives it that special something you expect from Amouage. It's very delicious, and not at all light as some here are describing it. This is a loud perfume which could easily lead to regrets if used without due diligence. The drydown is why I put up with the needy opening, it's astounding.

It smells nice but there's something making me immediately anosmic, which is what I've come to expect from Rasquinet, a huge slug of woody amber nasal short circuiters. It's a shame to use this heavy handed modern style in the context of creative perfumery with such fine ingredients, because the ambrarome stops me from smelling them properly.

This is absolutely stunning. I wanted to dislike it due to the price, and I'd heard many negative or underwhelmed comments, but of the three, this is my coup de cœur, Reasons being second and Lustre in lacklustre third place. It smells like shoving your head into a barrel where someone has smeared lemon drizzle cake and lit an incense stick, absolutely heavenly. .... I've just realised it smells like L'Homme Idéal Intense but with infinitely better ingredients and a little sour twist in the base.

Not my favourite Bortnikoff, but I can't deny the quality and magic touch is there, I just don't enjoy this type of scent profile. If you wanted to like perfumes like Ani but find them too sledgehammery and cloying, you could give this a try. I do like the sandlewood drydown, and the performance is great.

I don't get any spices or cocoa apart from a fleeting Coca-Cola accord, it's simply the most pure essence of Guerlain, the base in all their perfumes, in its platonic ideal form. Too sweet for me to consider wearing regularly, but divine all the same.

Smells like having a cup of tea in the middle of Sephora surrounded by teenagers spraying cheap designer perfumes. No wait, it's more like a cup of tea that someone has squirted a dollop of generic men's shower gel into. I wanted to try this perfume for the longest time and I'm thoroughly underwhelmed so far. It may even be a scrubber, it's starting to annoy me after 15 minutes.

Nice but remarkably similar to way cheaper Serge Lutens scents such as Parole d'Eau. I mean, it is different, but it's not giving me anything that seems worth the extortionate price.

To tak, jakby istniał flanker/hybryda Shalimar z AMan. Nie jest straszny, ale całkowicie zbędny i ogromnie gorszy od Shalimar, AMen, Tonka Imperial itd.

To ładny perfum, ale nie tak zdumiewający, jak bym myślał, czytając entuzjastyczne recenzje tutaj. To nie skóra, to irys i drzewo sandałowe, a oczywiście brakuje mu nut głowy i jest całkowicie liniowy, co przypuszczam, że jest zamierzone. Jakość, koncepcja, opakowanie i trwałość zasługują na maksymalnie 150 euro za 100 ml. Cena, jaką obecnie ma, jest absurdalna. Ale ktoś musi to kupować. Jeśli chcesz naprawdę pięknej, zamszowej skóry, która kosztuje znacznie mniej niż to, spróbuj Clean Suede, który lepiej realizuje ten pomysł w sposób mniej nudny.

Silny jak diabli, bądź ostrożny. Otwarcie jest BARDZO intensywne, co nie znaczy, że jest złe, ale jest bardzo przytłaczające i wymagające, zupełnie bez subtelności. Słychać głośny jaśmin i całą gamę drapiących chemikaliów. Po 30 minutach zaczyna się radość, gdy kwiaty i aromatyczna masa się uspokajają, a kakao zaczyna się przebijać, razem z kremową bazą. Cudowne. Nikt nie potrzebuje 100 ml tego zapachu. Mam 10 ml i prawdopodobnie wystarczy mi na 20 lat. Końcowy zapach jest dokładnie taki sam jak Fève Gourmande.
