I want to say that this fragrance is terrible/awful whatever, because it's egregiously saccharine opening is only matched by it's appalling creamed tobacco drydown. Not only that but quite impressively it manages to shoehorn in the irritant that is the apple note/accord and yes you can smell that too despite all this other mental noise, including waxy floral note banana jasmine/ylang which lasts the first 30mins or so! And yet somehow I don't hate it. Yeah. Bizarre. I think I'm having a stroke or something? I mean it's bad. It's objectively bad but there's almost something admiral about the fact it concisely conveys all these things in one stonking, lump of a perfume. It's not for me, but it might be for someone. (with no taste, or who like I think I do, likes it ironically or for kitsch value)
Uwielbiam ten zapach, jest taki gładki. Jedynym minusem jest to, że po 4 godzinach na moim ciele staje się zapachem skóry, ale wolę tę wersję EDP niż extrait, ponieważ można ją nosić w letnie noce bez mdłości.
Uwielbiam Intense Red Tobacco, ale ta wersja jest lepsza i łagodniejsza. Jest lekko słodki dzięki brzoskwini i trochę gorzki dzięki rumowi. Świetny zapach.
I have been waiting that days are getting colder and I can wear this amazingly delicious fruity scent. I love it because it’s not light, girly nor boring like so many fruity scents. This is much more complex as well than many others with attempting fruity notes but not complexity with clearly three different stages but all the notes are blended perfectly instead. It’s sweet and many people would put it into the gourmand category but I don’t. The middle and the base notes make this scent a little bit mysterious keeping it easy to love regardless and it never gets dark. The scent cloud around the wearer is huge like is the scent trail. Those are not the most important thing for me but I have to say that if this scent would not have it, I think I would have never fallen in love with it. Peach and Apple are there from the start until the dry down which is not always the case in these kind of perfumes. Rum is not sharp and alcohol smelling, it’s utterly soft and enjoyable. Tobacco is not clearly smoky one, nor harsh, it’s charming with the sweetness from Vanilla. Neither of them, Rum nor Tobacco, dominates. This is one of my rare perfumes which my husband doesn’t like so much. If he says “so and so” the perfume is too sweet and crowd pleasing which is not always a bad thing. What about the scents with whose people are comparing this one: I can't stand Red Tobacco, it's a terrible synthetic bomb. And Carlisle? No, it's not the same. It's not bad but I would never buy that one. And this is not any PR. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
W trakcie mojej podróży zapachowej widziałem niekończący się szum wokół Triumph of Bacchus, więc bardzo chciałem zobaczyć, o co chodzi w tym całym podnieceniu. Byłem co najmniej rozczarowany. To przyjemny, słodki i alkoholowy gourmand z elementami owocowymi - w podobnym duchu co Side Effect, ale lepszy. Przyznam, że akord rumu jest przyjemny, niezbyt mocny, ale na tyle wyczuwalny, że nadaje zapachowi pewnej przewagi. Soczystość zielonego jabłka z wytrawną brzoskwinią tworzy słodką aurę, która jest następnie wzmacniana przez kremową rozkosz wanilii i tonki - tak naprawdę nie dostaję zbyt wiele tytoniu. To przyjemny zapach i przyjemnie się go nosi, ale jeśli mam być szczery, moje oczekiwania były wyższe. Słyszałem, że ekstrait jest lepszy, więc może spróbuję, ale na razie będę się cieszył próbką, ale nie jestem zainteresowany kupnem butelki.
Good fruity sweet tobacco opening, with a wonderful vanilla peach and tobacco drydown! Good for fall and winter!
