This is a strong-ass perfume. It's love-hate for me. It's wonderful at arms length but gives me a headache up close. I get no florals, no violet leaf, no rose. Absolutely do not overspray. Those of you saying the performance is bad need to visit the ENT specialist. All in all, it's BONE dry, crackling embers, artisan wood smoke. Not easy, but probably worth the effort.

This is like the growling little pet in Despicable Me. It starts out snarling and yapping, delusionally full of machismo and bravado, before suddenly rolling over and showing its true colours as a fluffy little poopykins. It's as complex and dynamic as a Tom Ford gets, and in my opinion could be technically the best perfume from the brand I've experienced. Every wear is different according to temperature, mood, many factors. I absolutely love this, it's a proper perfume that goes on a journey with twists and turns.

我闻起来像是喷了玫瑰香水，然后又做了油腻的咖喱。坚决不喜欢。

优点：非常独特。缺点：绝对令人厌恶。对我来说，这与大多数MMM香水属于同一类别，即闻起来便宜的花哨玩意。它闻起来像甘草，但以一种令人反感的方式，让人想起涂抹在童年伤口上的奶油（或者是深热膏？）和医生的候诊室。最搞笑的是，它的价格比大多数系列的香水还要高得多，真是令人匪夷所思。

A wondeful perfume, indeed a masterclass in haute perfumery. I'm baffled by those complaining about performance, I find it's a beast, albeit without being loud. There a warm waves of woody, resinous, sweet, vanillic benzoin to die for, and the best thing is it works in most weather conditions. I haven't tried it in hot weather and I imagine it wouldn't be ideal, but Autumn, Winter and Spring, it's perfect. Love!

There are some heavy hitting notes here (patchouli, vetiver) but they're delicately entwined with sparkling bergamot and hyper real florals creating an extraordinary, fresh bouquet. It's sweet, but only just enough to seem real, there's none of the sickliness you'd usually get with this type of scent. It does slightly remind me of the plethora of MFK freshies, but the musks in the base are distinctly FM.

哎呀，从哪里开始呢。是的，它有点恶心和肮脏，有点不对劲，像是一种让人感官停滞的生殖气味，但它就是有效。没有其他东西能与之相比。我不确定我会在什么场合下使用它，但当我对其他香水有这样的感觉时，我意识到这并不重要。你只需在感觉合适的时候佩戴它，并以自豪的心态去佩戴。更新：我刚发现我闻的是2016年的批次，然后我试了最近的配方，发现它令人恐惧。它闻起来像湿屁，确实非常非常不对劲，我迫不及待想把它洗掉。

I'd have called this Aldehydes Poudre, although that's not to say the iris isn't pronounced. The initial aldehydic blast is almost reminiscent of Oud Khol for me, although obviously only the aldehydes, sharing the almost savoury sharpness rather than being on the soapy side. Wondeful, addictive, powerful yet light... another yes from me for this wonderful house. I get the comparison to No 5, but this is more subtle, and once the dry down takes effect, the warmth of the amber really balances it out wonderfully. It's like a next level No 5 EDT.

I find Frédéric Malle perfumes (and in particular those by Ropion) can undo my prejudices towards certain notes. This beauty totally flipped my opinion of tuberose, which I normally find very troublesome, bubble-gummy, cloying and OTT. I also normally hate coconut in perfume, but this has shown me that if the quality is high enough, and the blending expert enough, I'm in! The coconut kulfi dry down is almost as good as the superstar opening. I was in the bakery this morning, and a bunch of people started saying "oh my god someone smells amazing", and I was half mortified, half thrilled when they locked it down to yours truly. Thanks Frédéric Malle! Update: It's too strong for any time of year except high summer (outside), when the heat mitigates the effusiveness, thus it's a glorious fanfare of creamy tropical florals, whereas indoors or in cold weather it's,cloying.

This is the shit! So delicious, just as when I was little and was tempted to taste fruity shower gels, I want to devour this perfume. However it's not a gourmand, but it is the tastiest, juiciest citrus I've come across, with the most stellar performance (I have 2016 batch). Possibly now my favourite Malle, although it's a tough call to make.

Something smells a bit skanky here. Not in a good way. Try as I might, I can't find anything to top the Guerlain, and not only is this a long way off, the price is crazy considering the proliferation of good vetivers out there. You can get caught up in the hype about the special extract of vetiver blahdy blah blah, but essentially it's bog-standard, and even a bit horrible to my nose.
