I can't understand why I wear this fragrance so rarely. Once a year, maybe once every two. Even though I adore it. It's going to be a bit chaotic now, but this accurately reflects how I perceive the "jasmine explosion". It smells like communion wine from church. Or like a rose bush soaked in port wine. And it also reminds me of linden and jasmine jam. From the very beginning, there's a resinous feel, which evokes associations with frankincense, even though it's not in the pyramid, but this creates an emotional connection to the masculine Amouage Lyric. The rose accent from the first notes doesn't leave me alone, as the fragrance is dedicated to jasmine. The composition is truly worthy, and I would gladly compliment whoever wears it 🌸

I got acquainted with "almond" a couple of years ago, and from the very first sniff, I fell in love with its gourmand sound. It's simply a sea of vanilla and an ocean of natural almond, which unfolds like Amaretto in a cool spring and resembles praline in summer. If it weren't for orange blossom with heliotrope, everything might have blended into one mass, but no, everything is perfectly balanced. A beautiful and bright fragrance that never once suffocated me 🌟

Gold definitely has a retro sound, but that doesn't make it bad or outdated. It's an amazing floral fragrance with bright animalic notes. When I wear it, I remember how my mom smelled when I was 7 years old. This fragrance isn't for everyday wear, it requires a special occasion. In winter, it becomes fresh and a little sharp, and in summer, if you overdo it, it can show its playful side. It's undoubtedly beautiful and relevant, because classic fragrances are back in style, and some of them never went out of style. It's no wonder legends like Chanel No. 5 and Shalimar are still at the peak of popularity. There are many reasons for this 🌸

Peonies and vetiver truly play a key role here, beautifully combining with exquisite rosewood. Amouage fragrances always stand out for their complexity and beauty, that's undeniable. Dia, in my opinion, is excellent for everyday wear, you don't necessarily have to wear it with a suit, but your shirt should be impeccably ironed. Iris with amber softens the composition a bit, making it not only strict but also powdery-floral. By the way, a similar iris can be found in the men's Eisenberg Diabolique 🌸

This Eisenberg fragrance is one of the best for men, in my opinion. I have several iris perfumes, and each one is unique, like different characters in a family. Here, iris is framed by violet, which could make it more feminine, if not for the cardamom, which seems to line up all the flowers and make them follow each other. I just adore vetiver scents, although there isn't much of it here. If someone doesn't like Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or Guerlain Vetiver, there's no need to worry. The floral accord is so meticulously crafted that you can't fault it. The longevity is simply impressive, the sillage - three arm's lengths. It's quite loud, but among all iris fragrances, this "devil" is surprisingly introverted thanks to its softness - as if wrapped in a warm blanket, wearing woolen socks, and enjoying life

I received Allegro quite a while ago, but I've only been able to understand it now. Maybe my nose has matured? I don't know. All Cale fragrances are a matter of taste. I have four of them in my collection. Allegro for me is floral-sweet, with gourmand notes and a certain playfulness (maybe clove?). It smells like a confident older lady getting ready for a meeting of 1980 Olympics fans. There's something retro about the scent, which is why I've never dared to wear it out. I apply it very rarely, only at home, when I want to immerse myself in the scent, like in something familiar and warm from the past

A scent as if soaked in absinthe, with notes of anise. It maintains its delicacy throughout. No harsh transitions that might remind one of something alcoholic. Interestingly, closer to the end, as the composition begins to fade, there's something in common with Kilian's Intoxicated. It seems similar notes were used. Of all four cocktails, this one ranks third for me, after Angel's Share and Roses on Ice. But the fourth, the second new one, didn't appeal to me at all
