From the first seconds of acquaintance, I felt a cognitive dissonance. The bottle is red, but it smells somewhat pale yellow. This is a strange reaction, and I can't do anything about it. Perhaps it's due to the clove and powdery ylang-ylang that immediately hit the nose. At first, the fragrance seems delicate, but then some powerful carnality emerges from the sweet floral soufflé, which is simply disgusting. This gives the fragrance an old-fashioned and bourgeois look, and the chypre base of oakmoss and patchouli only exacerbates the situation.
The chypre character doesn't appear immediately, but it's impossible not to notice it. However, the perfumer somehow hid the castoreum, leaving only a whisper of suede. The sweet-waxy fruity accord, which they call red apple, tries to connect opposites, but it feels forced.
El Primer Deseo is multi-layered, there's a lot to think about, but despite all these historical references, it doesn't look old-fashioned. It's just a play on a classic theme, but I can't wear something like this myself. To smell it - yes, to show friends - also, but I won't wear it on myself. I've never been one to wear something like that. Like Tear You Apart, El Primer Deseo doesn't suffer from a lack of longevity and sillage. Both fragrances last on a blotter all day without losing character 😒
Some accords sound bright, but not always successfully. For example, blackcurrant leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste, but the clove is simply delightful - it's as if enveloped in a powdery cloud. Huge thanks to Yaroslav Simonov and Konstantin Shilyaev for their work! The only thing that's a bit upsetting is the absence of this brand in our stores. I hope they fix this soon! )
