Devil Tender

Ok, unlike some other reviewers I actually like this rose and peach confection. Light, sweet, glowingly rosey, sunny, very pretty, very feminine. Garners compliments, it just smells like beauty. I don't know about devilish, but it's seductive. It doesn't smell unique to me, though - in fact I know I've smelled many very similar frags before. But what? Maybe Rosa Nobile, maybe a touch of Fille de Berlin, a dash of Delina, but also some cheapies too. Smells like a lot of other things I own, so while I'd be delighted to receive a bottle as a gift, I can't see myself spending Ex Nihilo prices on it. I'll definitely use up my sample though.

Red roses, slight peppers, vanilla, tea, cedar, & sandalwood. I can't sense any peaches in here. I do sense something like leather texture and maybe suede texture as well! but i believe it's the rosy and sandalwood, cedar mix that creates that suede leathery texture. It's a meh to be honest as i did sensed plenty of designer fragrances that smells like this one here.

This gives me the same vibe of Gris Dior, with more sandalwood and with suede.

Sweet. Rose. Cream. I don’t smell the peach note. I have to agree with the reviewer a couple of posts below: I like it. Pretty over beautiful, Devil Tender smells ultra feminine. I typically don’t wear girly scents, but I would wear this again. Very good performance helps keep this in the consideration pile. I have one more to go in my Ex Nihilo Discovery box, and this is my favorite. I don’t think everything I wear has to be challenging or unique, but I want what I wear to make me feel good. Devil Tender does it for me. Would I pull the trigger on a bottle at retail? No. But that goes for many perfumes in my collection. I’m no compelled to buy it but I would trade for Devil Tender, and I wouldn’t pass on a grey market deal. Post review edit: I more than like this scent. One of the reasons it stands apart is that similar scents will go in a plastic direction on my skin. This stays natural all the way through the dry down. Devil Tender is a great take on this genre of sweet rose scents.

This just plain does not smell good to me. Smells like a bit of a disjointed mess and is actually making me feel a little depressed, frankly. Light, fresh rose with a very synthetic peach, some bitter tannins from both tea and leather and I smell some shampoo musk peeking out from beneath. Scrubber. For those who are reporting barely being able to smell some from this line, I can say that they all are omnipotent and omnipresent on me. I’ll trade for the anosmia. For rose leather I would much prefer the likes of Hermes Kelly Caleche or Galop.
