Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The cognac notes in this fragrance are simply gorgeous, so rich and spicy, a real find! 🍂 And the top notes are a bit sour and fresh, they sound pleasant but disappear quite quickly. This makes me happy because I prefer the dark, noir side of this perfume 🌙
5/5

Some scents from Ford really open up better when combined with others. This particular scent, in my opinion, doesn't have a special zest. However, if you mix it with Escentric Molecules 020, the result is simply amazing!! It's hard not to notice that on its own, it looks quite dull
3/5

Our tastes didn't match. The top notes are simply gorgeous, fresh and invigorating, reminiscent of mint chewing gum, but then heavy spices and alcoholic accents appear, which are just suffocating!!!
4/5

The scent is decent for summer, of course, but it shouldn't be overestimated. The citruses here are bright, sure, but amber with cognac somehow doesn't quite fit. It's not intrusive, true, but you don't really feel it, as if it's not even there. It stays on the skin, but so close that you don't even know if it's there or not 😒
5/5

Citrus notes, bright and fresh like a sunny day, intertwine with the light coolness of mint and the warm trail of amber. This fragrance creates an intriguing contrast that leaves no one indifferent 🌞
3/5

The perfume is quite simple for such a brand. A citrus note, a soft scent, but nothing special. It doesn't irritate, but it doesn't impress either. Just ordinary citrus. I have a 2ml decant, but I definitely won't get a full bottle 😒
3/5

It's all a bit strange. At first, it seems like you fall in love at first sniff: something like an "American" cocktail based on cognac, with bright and fresh spices 🍹 But then it suddenly turns into a citrus cologne that, to put it mildly, isn't great quality. The sillage is very small. It lasts on the skin for a maximum of 3-4 hours. And now I'm plagued by doubts: should I look for the remnants of this bottle or better leave it in the past 😔
3/5

It starts with citrus and spices, and then suddenly cognac, and with tarragon too. It sounds somehow too intrusive, this alcoholic note just grates on the ears. I don't know, maybe someone likes it, but to me it sounds wildly strange and irritating 😤
4/5

The citrus notes are simply gorgeous, they're like they want to play with your nose, it's fun! But here's the problem, on my skin, the cognac sounds too intrusive. Maybe some people like it, but I feel it's a bit too provocative
