For a fragrance branded as neutral, as much as I don't buy into gendered fragrances, i'd consider this classically feminine, and quite vintage at that.
That said, APOM operns with an almost aldehydic sweet floral bomb, mostly white, but some of the creaminess of yellow.
As it settles, the lavender starts to peek in, noticible but nothing like a masculine blue lavender.
Also coming through is a wave of musky powderiness which carries on throughout.
On my skin, the vanilla isn't overly noticible, and definitely leans cool toned.
A pretty fragrance, that if I had to put a face to, it would be a wealthy older woman.
This starts off as a citrus bomb and then settles into ginger and neroli.
This is a really nice Vanilla fragrance.
This was blind buy worth amongst many other blind buys that never disappointed. I don't only smell the coffee that comes out of this, I feel it by heart.
Powdery and fruity. Leans female. Give this one plenty of time to dry down. The oud smell like poop, until it dries down.
Incensey and resiney. Strong and beautifu, but not for everyone.
Spicy freshy, with beast mode performance.
This stuff is so good! You get a spicy creamy sweet lemon. Performance it amazin, 8 hours. Strong projection. The price is really good. Some may say that it smells synthetic, but I don’t think so.
This one is citrus at its best. You can expect the same performance out of it, as you would Bleu D Chanel Parfum.
Gorgeous and delicate smell. It’s fresh citrus and herbal. I get maybe 2 hours be needing to reapply. Very unfortunate that it doesn’t last long.
Very beautiful fragrance! Great performance, 12 hours. Love the way the honey comes through. It has a touch of citrus and cinnamon. It’s heavy, yet light. I feel it was crafted beautifully. You can tell how good the ingredients are when you smell it.
To me, Torino 22 smelled good, but is more of a skin scent. It seems 2 dimensional, being that you get a mild eucalyptus and saffron smell. Kinda reminds me of BR540. I had to rea it after 4 hours. Would say that it’s mild perfomance makes it over priced for what it is.
Nice citrus floral fragrance. Overall it’s a nice scent. Grapefruit on the opening and florals thru the mid is great. It dries down to a nice woody scent. Longevity is 4-6 hrs, sillage is ok but definitely not a room filler. Cool easy reach for the spring and summer. Bottle with the gold flakes is a nice gimmick. I would give this about 6.5 due to the price but it’s a solid fragrance.
I mean it’s pretty good just feel you can get something better
I love it.
So good so nice
It’s a nice green and citrusy smell which sits nice on the skin. It does not project as much as I would like, but it does last a good 6-8 hours on skin. It‘s an easy reach for a chill and fresh scent, but I tend to reach for others over this. It’s an overall nice scent, but I would recommend spending your money elsewhere on others that do it better like LV Pacific Chill.
Un parfum superb, atât sticla cat și mirosul. Este un parfum fresh, cu bomboane, vanilat, ideal pentru vară. Persistenta pana la 2-3 ore pe piele, și până la 4 ore pe haine. Siaj nu foarte puternic. Raport calitate pret este incredibil. Singura chestie care îmi displace este ca, după vreo 2-3 ore eu nu l mai simt deloc.
This has been hyped everywhere and it’s a nice honey, floral little bit dusty and polleny. It’s pleasant but there are better florals out there for quarter of the price, namely Zara elegantly Tokyo which also has jasmine and a woody base. This is blended well but can be quite heady and yellow honey florals are not my thing. Scent 7/10
First some minutes it’s pure pineapple. then it melts down to more woody but calm scent. Do I like it? Yes I do. Will i recommend it and buy again? I don’t think so.
For the mature man. No boys allowed
The phrase "fresh and clean" makes my skin crawl, probably because I associate it with people who make cleanliness feel like a personality trait, who turn basic hygiene into aspirational lifestyle content, who kind of make you feel like a slob just by existing. Meanwhile, I hate to shower (I do it, but I don't like a single second of it!) and generally resent having to participate in hygiene theater; the whole thing is exhausting. Wood and Absinth sidesteps this entire obnoxious charade. Saponified anise, woody-soapiness that hits the sweet spot of ease; herbal bitterness like the toothpaste I'd choose because mint grosses me out, because the sight of someone working gum in their mouth makes me want to puke, because what's wrong with breath that smells like bagels and lox anyway. This is uncomplicated, which I mean as praise—not complex, not trying to conjure memories or transport you somewhere else, just a reliable background scent for everyday wearing when I don't want to think about it, but I also want something that smells like me. Wood, water, bitter leaves; simple, straightforward ingredients that coalesce in a scent that is ....what would I call this? An unfussy staple, slightly elevated? A functional fragrance, unembellished but not boring? This is a competent perfume that might benefit from a less clunky summation, but I'm not sure if a fragrance that's merely competent deserves much more work on my part.
Not usually a fan of a myrrh note but here I can actually smell its beauty as it pairs with a bit of iris and a lot of saffron. I like the fragrance a lot generally speaking. Only because of the myrrh I’m not tempted to buy a bottle. The extrair collection as a whole it’s absolutely stunning and tho.
Iced lemon slices in a cut glass bowl, encased in ice; fresh, crisp herbs soaking in ice water, subtle as a lacy front or two. The memory of a glass of sweet white wine, a honeyed, floral Gewürztraminer wisp; round, rich, luscious, and strangely absent for all its suggestion. Somewhere between charming and refreshing, gentle with a glint in its eye; Not overly polite yet definitely inoffensive, nothing weird you can put your finger on, but there's a phantom shimmer, a flickering presence, an impossible-to-name thing, which makes it either perfectly frustrating or frustratingly perfect.
