I became interested after the editor of Fragrantica called it the best fragrance of 2023. I tried it and smelled sweet-and-sour berry-fruity notes, greenery and wood. In terms of mood, it really is theatrical: heavy fabrics, a dressing room, a dusty stage. At the same time, the sweetness and berries do not turn into a fruity mess; they merely highlight the dry woody and smoky nuances. The base is amber-woody, noticeable, and this kind of Italian density usually scares me a little. For me, this is a fragrance for going out, to the theater or for an elegant evening. It will suit mature women who are comfortable with femininity, being well-groomed and their own maturity. But without all these associations, it could also develop beautifully on a man
Anyone who smells tomato leaf or geranium here either wasn't listening properly to the scent or was looking for those notes in the pyramid in advance. For me, the main thing here is completely different: patchouli, lots of patchouli. It announces itself immediately and barely ever quiets down. At first there is mint, sweet gardenia, and a little bergamot alongside it, but the mint disappears quickly. The patchouli stays, and the gardenia also lasts all the way through the drydown. Excellent longevity, but personally this scent didn't work for me
It's so cool, I don't understand how I didn't notice it before! 😍 Too bad you can't buy it at this price now. For me, the scent reminds me of daffodils, especially their sweet yellow centers, and I also detect melon - sweet, but not too intrusive. And there's a slight saltiness that gives it an interesting character. Although I usually don't like salt and melon, here they are simply magnificent! 🌟
The scent is like a mix of coffee with roses, woody notes, and smoke. It's heavy, yes, and it has something layered about it. It lasts long on the skin, bright, persistent. I'd imagine it on a woman who has already been through a lot, and only on winter evenings. Otherwise, it seems too intrusive
This fragrance has been on my clothes for a whole week, no kidding. Only apple and rose are left, and that combination sounds kind of strange. Honestly, I don't know what to think about it. It seems pleasant, but at the same time, something about it is unsettling
This perfume surprises with its brightness, you can feel notes of bergamot and cinnamon in it. At first it seems too sharp, but then some mystery emerges that makes you ponder. I can't figure out if I like it or not, but it definitely attracts attention 🔍
There are no floral notes here, just one continuous musk, and it's so sharp it's almost disgusting, with some animalistic undertone

I don't detect any berry accents; a hint of raspberry would have been nice here. Geranium with vetiver isn't for me, but the bergamot at the start sounds good, and sweet tonka beans complement it beau...
Porridge with cognac - that's unusual, of course, but honestly, it's better than stinky hay with the sweet smell of horse manure 😔 This feeling really comes through in the sillage
