This is unique. I have never smelled anything like it and I have fallen in love with it. I have worn it daily since I bought it and can’t get enough. It’s not strong, in fact after 30 minutes I don’t really smell it much, it’s more of an aura, I can feel it around me but can’t find it when I try. the silage on the other hand is strong. People around me smell it and tell me it’s really nice. My wife says it’s like spicy cola cube sweets. I sometimes smell a powdery incense when I walk back into a room I have been in. This is magic to me and I could easily make it my only fragrance.
One of the best vanilla scent I've smelled.
Gourmand but not too much !
Too many red berries on top of the florals for this to be anything special. Serviceable mall scent.
This is an unusual scent. the first part is green and fresh and then it goes Into a cozy evening vibe. Which makes sense when you read the copy for the perfume. Took me a few wears to fall in love. It’s a perfect start your day or end your evening kind of perfume. Wake you up and mellow you out. I have not smelt a arran jumper but I do a slight lanolin like smell that is comforting like Luscious cream. the price point and creativity ratio is also right for this line. Well worth checking it out and will make a perfect souvenir if you go to Ireland .
I imagine this is what Link puts on before meeting up with Zelda for an evening walk around Hyrule Castle grounds.
This has the seasonless mix of white floral and powder that could make for an easy signature scent, but it doesn’t have the longevity of other Chanel perfumes I’ve tried which holds me back from loving it too much.
this is a complex and lovely light scent. My main complaint is that it lacks staying power, so you need to apply multiple times per day to keep the joy alive.
It's a bit basic, it's blue, but it's cheap and it's complex enough for the money. Very spicy, aromatic, citrussy and woody, it's an easy grab and go.
Wow what a gem! I liked Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato in store and following the reviews on here, I decided to get Affection for under £20 instead of forking out £100 for the OG. I have no regrets, to me this smells exactly the same as the Kayali one. It’s such a lovely comforting smell. Might be my new fave now. It opens with a creamy pistachio sweetness, wrapped in milky, comforting notes that make it feel both cozy and indulgent. It even has the cold ice chill feeling like the OG.
A very amazing-smelling cologne. It would definitely be higher if it weren’t for the performance. The performance is trash; get about 3 to 4 hours of good smell, then it becomes a skin scent for another two hours, and then it’s gone.
This is a big white floral that packs enough power to wear year round but delicate enough to wear with lace.
The first breath of Cocoa Kimiya brought me to the forest before dawn. The trees were still dreaming. The air was green and rich. I could feel the land listening.
It begins with cardamom. Fresh and sharp. It cracks open the silence and lets light in. Then comes cocoa. Dry, ancient, and full of shadow. This is not a gourmand in the usual sense. It is not sugary or playful. It is ritualistic. It is elemental.
This fragrance moves slowly. It wears like a story passed down in whispers. There is no rush. It invites stillness. On my skin, it became both grounding and luminous. A quiet ceremony in scent form.
Marie Salamagne has crafted something that feels sacred. Cocoa Kimiya does not try to impress. It draws you in, if you are willing to listen.
Final Thoughts: This is a fragrance for those who use perfume as a form of connection. It feels intuitive and raw, with just enough warmth to wrap around you. A standout for its restraint and its soul.
Rating: 9/10 Full bottle worthy? Absolutely. This is one I reach for when I want to feel rooted and inspired.
A hooded figure watching from beyond the shadows, but shadows of what, and why in a place no shadow should be? The insidious intrusion, the confounding juxtaposition, the thing found in the wrong place. The stirring of things best left unstirred. Resinous orchid musk, feral balmy, rotting-earthed humidity. Milky murk, like looking through the eyes of the dead. Honeyed spices part buried, cinnamon-cardamom-disinterment deferred, the ground is wrong, a terror in the terroir. The boundless and hideous unknown, a carnal effluvium of the eerie and the weird, reinterpreted as a not-too-bad fragrance. Actually, kinda lovely.
On the femme side of unisex but way too airy clean girl for me.
Overall, this is a mediocre dupe of Imagination and not a great fragrance by itself. Smells dusty to me, and unlike Imagination, there’s no tea note. There‘s nothing I like about this. What a dud.
i was pleasantly surprised after trying this Berbera as the notes of incense and frankincense are usual not my cup of tea. I guess i tend not to be confortable around those mostly when they remind me of church interiors which is surprisingly (or not) not the case in here. I love this scent so much. It’s fresh, not clogging, not for a second. Beautiful scent. My favourite from the brand so far, taking the place of Sulawesi. I’m going through the discovery set and only Grand Ile left to try. I find Berbera the most long lasting too. Silage is very weak though, as it is for all other scents. A missing point for me to be hones…
This is a hot summer night in central Florida. Baking palmetto, Spanish moss & green fruit with a touch of sweet orange. It’s home.
Sospiro Vibrato is capable of being a signature scent. It’s well balanced, however it was a bit weak. Could be a sample that hasn’t macerated yet. I do trust the source. Got samples from Scent Split. I’m gonna let the sample sit, and maybe update this review.
Torino 21 is such a beautiful fragrance! Reviews from the influencers don’t do it any justice. They say it smells like a mojito, kind, but so much more! I would consider it an uplifting herbal. Just get a decant. I would say that it’s a safe blind buy, but some people you just can’t make happy.
A gourmand-ish take on citrus. If you come here looking for something realistic, look elsewhere. This is creamy, a bit juicy, some sourness that makes your mouth pucker, and with a touch of sweetness too. Sometimes it smells like a ripen mango on my skin. Have had it for more than a year now but I still cant decide if I hate it or not. Oh well!
I love it! So far my favourite from the brand (but I’m yet to try Grand Íle which seems to be the most loved one, can’t wait). Such a beautiful patchouli, a soft one, not the medicinal sharp type that is taken to an extreme when you talk of a Cannabis Patchouli from Dries. It softens even more as the hours go by and it finally gets kind of sweet to me after say 5-6hours. Dry down is also lovely, very cozy actually. Sillage is not great, very close. Longevity is ok.
Vibrato is one of my go-to scents. It’s fresh, smooth, and strong—lasts all day and always gets compliments. Super versatile for any setting.
i feel like a grown lady in this. i love her.
Really wonderful tobaccco-patchouli fragrance. Woody, resinous, somewhat damp and nicely balanced. I enjoy it everytime i wear it.
