Scent Intense

Innovative yet lacking in depth and richness.

I'm not entirely sure what draws me to this perfume, but there's something refined about its scent that really appeals to me 🌸. The subtle presence of hibiscus and amber is also quite appealing 🔥. I think it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and subtlety 👏.

Here is the rewritten comment: This perfume is stunning, with an impressive longevity and moderate sillage. I mainly detect a sweet floral accord, which makes me wonder if it's a blend of Davana or Hibiscus notes. Sometimes, I'm convinced I've smelled something similar before, while at other times, I think it's truly one-of-a-kind. It's become my second favorite choice for this autumn season. Interestingly, it has garnered more compliments than any other perfume in less than a month - and that's when worn with JHAG's Not a Perfume! 😊

This was quite an unexpected revelation to me when I first applied it. Among the many surprises...it smelt like some sort of vintage children's fragrance - a touch artificial with synthetic floral notes. I must admit, that scent really resonated with me and transported me back in time. It reminded me of playing with dolls and brushing their hair. Later on, a subtle aromatic black tea note emerged in the heart, unfortunately, it didn't last long as I'm extremely fond of black tea. I wish the perfume had maintained this blend throughout - the combination of black tea and vintage children's fragrance would have been fascinating. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the drydown, which consisted of a surprisingly smooth amber base, complemented by spice notes that might include black peppercorn. In fact, this is one of the finest ambers I've come across in recent memory. The scent leans slightly towards masculinity during the drydown, where all remnants of vintage children's fragrance have faded away. It smells elegant yet suitable for casual occasions.

To me, it's a blend of amber and wood notes that come across as a lackluster interpretation, lacking refinement and sophistication. On my skin, the scent is unpleasantly unsophisticated. I'm glad I only had a sample to try it out.
