On me, this scent smells quite unusual - iris and leather with some herbal freshness. Although perfumes usually stick in my memory, this one just flew out of my head, even though a little bit of the base is still felt on the skin. I expected more, especially for such a price, but in the end, it's just mediocre. But, of course, everyone has their own taste. You should definitely test the scent before buying, otherwise you might be disappointed

This fragrance gives me mixed feelings. It's sweet and sunny, but at the same time leaves a sense of something past. Of all its competitors, like Terracotta, Intense Tiare, and Sunny Side Up, this one is probably the most memorable. The longevity is simply amazing, the sillage is also pleasing, and the aquatic notes add lightness, making it ideal for summer days.<br><br>But with Intense Tiare, I had problems - my head started aching after half an hour. Although this fragrance doesn't have a complex development, it doesn't seem boring. First, you feel the freshness of bergamot, possibly thanks to marine notes that are hard to pinpoint. Then coconut, vanilla, and something creamy come to the forefront.<br><br>This fragrance can be imagined on both a woman and a metrosexual — its scent is very feminine. I liked it, but I probably won't wear it. Those who adore coconut should definitely give it a try

No, no, and no again! This is just not my fragrance. For me, it reminds me of something completely faceless, as if someone forgot to clean an old apartment where everything is permeated with dust and the smell of time. The wood gives off a Soviet-era vibe, and the carpets are just awful, worn to holes. Even if the old man looks well-groomed, you still feel that old, musty smell. In short, a complete failure for me, and the image it creates doesn't leave me. As soon as I inhale this scent, I immediately understand that it's just nonsense. It's ridiculous and appalling, honestly! I'll definitely do a retest, but I don't expect anything good 😒

Out of the entire line of leather fragrances, this one captivated me the most. From the first sniff, I was struck by soft leather with vanilla. The tomato leaves, to be honest, didn't immediately hit my nose. They are present here, but only as a subtle hint in the first 15 minutes, adding their tart freshness to the fragrance. But the closer it gets to the base, the more you feel expensive leather with iris on a vanilla-resinous base, which lasts a decent 8 hours on my skin, even though it's not the warmest. I first applied it on a warm summer evening, worrying that it would either become tiresome with its sweetness or simply suffocate me. But, fortunately, that didn't happen, and I was pleasantly surprised. It revealed itself in all its glory

I didn't really like this fragrance. Although it's modern, citrusy-white floral, with notes of fresh greenery and ylang-ylang, it just didn't grab me. It feels like it doesn't strive for femininity, which is rare, but that doesn't make it better. Strictness and delicacy are certainly present, but it's somehow too cold. In spring, it might work, but it lacks sweetness. Green-marine freshness and creaminess, yes, but nothing more. The longevity, by the way, surprised me - two days on the blotter, but I haven't tried it on skin. Young people might want to try it, but I think it sounds too fashionable and stylish, as if it's trying to please everyone

How glad I am that this is my first niche! Perhaps that's why the scent became so dear to me. But here's what's interesting: when I tested it in the store, I didn't understand why everyone on Fragrantica was so enthusiastic. On me, it opened up as some simple lily of the valley with cat notes, which reminded me of cheap soap. Later I realized it was the same bad tester. Recently, I decided to give it another chance, because such a praised scent can't possibly sound so simple! And so, for the third time, I heard a completely different fragrance - like night and day! It became deep, rich, and intense. It smells like the luxury of an Arab sheikh in a golden palace. This test was so impressive that I risked ordering it from an online store, although I understood it could be a pig in a poke. But I was lucky, an Omani version arrived, and I didn't notice any significant differences from the English one. This is simply a magnificent example: expensive flowers in enveloping honey, but without heaviness, and next to it, light notes of incense and iris root, like in an old girls' school. So this scent can either be loved or not 🌸

This woody spicy fragrance is just awful. Unobtrusive? Not at all! The freshness from citrus and lavender is simply unbearable, and the sweetness from cardamom and wood is just too much. I don't understand how it became a favorite if it only lasts 1.5-2 hours. You have to keep spraying it just to make it last somehow. There's no sillage at all, after 15 minutes it's completely gone. For the office? Yes, but only if you want no one to notice you. Compare it to YSL L'Homme? Ridiculous! I bought it at a pharmacy for 27 euros, but that doesn't make it good. For that money, you can find something better. Get to know this fragrance? Better not waste your time! 😒
