Not A Perfume Superdose

The scent is reminiscent of the original NAP, yet with a stronger, more masculine appeal. Its skin-like quality is subtle yet appealing, making it an unobtrusive choice.

Here's a rewritten version of the comment: This isn't really a review, but rather an endorsement of Dvntex_'s assessment of "not perfume" perfumes. The dominant chemical in question is ambroxide, which is synthesized from sclareol, a component of clary sage essential oil. Ambroxide is used to create ambergris notes and as a fixative. I think this style of not-perfume originated with Geza Schoen's Escentric Molecules, which still offers the best value if you're into this type thing. Check it out: if you pay retail (which I don't), a 3.4 oz bottle of Molecule 2 is $41 an ounce, while JHaG Superdose is about $47/oz. However, if you prefer smaller bottles, Escentric Molecules offers travel sprays for $60 or $80 with a metal case, and JHaG charges $30 for 7.5 mL. Personally, I wouldn't wear this on its own; I'd use it to layer or enhance another perfume, as Dvntex_ mentioned. Considering this, unless you're really into the marketing, which I'm not, I wouldn't recommend the JHaG.

I adore skin scents and have a soft spot for 11:11, but unfortunately, my experience with Not a Perfume left me underwhelmed. Despite this, I gave this perfume a chance due to my curiosity. Ultimately, my distaste for it has led me to conclude that Cetalox may not be my cup of tea.

This perfume won me over with its excellent longevity, lingering pleasantly on the skin and leaving a subtle yet noticeable trail. While it bears similarities to D&G's Light Blue and Zadig & Voltaire's This is Her, I find it quite endearing nonetheless. In fact, I've grown so fond of it that I plan on purchasing the full-size bottle.

This fragrance's character is largely influenced by individual skin chemistry, rendering it a unique experience for each wearer. The magic lies in its ability to adapt to different skin pH levels, resulting in varying perceptions. It's not surprising that reviews are mixed, and I recommend sampling before committing. On my skin, the scent presents as clean, pillowy, soft woods, creamy, and milky – a typical outcome due to my body's chemistry. In fact, everything I apply seems to become sweeter over time, much like a walking bowl of whipped cream (in a nice way!). My high body temperature and metabolism also contribute to the fragrance's projection, although this comes at the cost of shorter longevity; typically, it lasts only a day.
