I either got a bad batch from Luckyscent or my skin doesn’t go with it. Opens with a pleasant amber but turns into B.O. and no I’m not joking, this is what me and my partner get off my skin. Pass.
I’m not sure what note or notes would be responsible for this, but on me it’s very animalic and “pissy”. After 20 minutes of smelling like urine on my skin I had to scrub.
Amber with other less definable notes, but very perfume-y. A little too loud for me. Somehow smells dated and fussy, like an 80s monster sillage amber. Not my thing
Very nice . Olibanum, not over dry- like in other incensey fragrances, but ambery and juicy , sparkling in shampagne way... Surprised nobody mention similarity to messe de minuit.
This is the perfectly blended amber. Labdanum patchouli amber heaven, a combination which is not uncommon on the market of ambers but here the osmanthus takes it to the next level. It gives it an exotic floral sweetness, and the bergamot is there too which I find always elevates balsamics to another level. Gorgeous. The tea note gets a little lost, I'm not picking it up. I've sampled it's comparison scent intense too which is also one of my favorites. I'll have to do a side by side. So many beautiful amber perfumes, so little time! * Edit: second drydown, definitely smelling the tea! *Tested this now several times and there is a fresh, almost minty aspect to this that makes it super lively. Great amber, one of the best I've tested (and I've tested hundreds!!) *Just so I remember later: I sold this in the end because it has a masculine aspect to it that I just can't get past. Didn't pick up on that in the sample. Goes away on the drydown but you only get a short lived part of the feminine good stuff.
