The brand surprised again, staying true to its traditions! The box with the new product, tied with a stiff nylon ribbon and including a bondage book - that's certainly a provocation that promises an exciting evening for the lucky one who receives this fragrance 🎉 The idea is undoubtedly creative, but not new. It reminds me of how Kilian released 'Criminal of Love' in 2014 with satin ribbons for hand restraint for passionate nights. I liked the fragrance, but without particular enthusiasm. I was looking for provocation and adrenaline in it, but alas, I found none of that. It's a woody-aromatic composition that suits both celebrations and everyday life. I think office workers will definitely like it, it smells balanced and strict, not screaming, but not getting lost in the crowd either 🌟

Noble rose, jasmine, and the sweet scent of heated skin - that's what I feel. This fragrance creates an atmosphere, even a little theatrical. In my imagination, a picture of an old boudoir emerges, where naked figures, illuminated by soft light filtering through curtains, slowly move among silks and heavy draperies. The scent is rich and long-lasting 🌹

This scent brings back vivid memories of walks in a garden where various herbs and flowers sparkle under the morning dew. Narcissus, with its sharp and rich aroma, seems to signal that spring is on its way, like fanfares announcing change

The fragrance truly stands out with its brightness, but it can be too intrusive. It's excellent for evening events, but it's better not to experiment with it in the office, as its intensity might displease those around you 😔

When you miss summer in winter, it's just awful. The scent I tried didn't impress me. At first, it seems like a fruit cocktail, but then some sickly sweet mix of coffee with caramel and nutmeg appears, and it's simply disgusting. The woody notes they talk about aren't felt at all, only on other people. How can you ruin a perfume like that? 😤

Guerlain Terracotta? Oh no, it's just a home fragrance that I use when no one's around. I like these cosmetic scents, but only in a calm setting. You definitely can't go out in public with them. At home, in my robe, I'll spray myself, pour some tea, and sit under a blanket, reading or watching something. But the "tiare" note... I have mixed feelings about it. I hear that name and immediately break into a cold sweat. It reminds me of something awful, like something terrible is being prepared. Montale's Intense Tiare is just something else entirely, like gas vans during the war. But with Guerlain's Terracotta, it's not so bad. Orange blossom and bergamot make it lighter, saving it from suffocation. So, Thierry Wasser, respect to you for that! 😏

Moschino Toy Boy is an example of how advertising and the product itself can completely mismatch. Remember that guy in the cap with the bear? I expected something bolder, but in reality, the bear turned out to be a truly sweet creature with a bouquet of roses and light notes of vetiver, pepper, as well as musk and cashmeran. It reminds me of Blackpepper by Comme des Garçons. And, you know, despite marketers trying to label it "for men," that absolutely shouldn't stop girls! The contents of the bottle are truly versatile and suitable for everyone!!
