READ ME! I DARE YOU!
This is a gorgeous floral woody with an animalic undertones(only up close-on skin). There is one note not mentioned here, which is JASMINE! Which if used in high doses, could potentially give off an animalic scent. It reminds a tad bit of la religieus by serge lutens but that one is more musky animalic jasmine that leans feminine and has an old school vibe. This one though, is a true gem!
Forget about the nee sayers! People on fragrantica are going mad! They complain about how the fragrance world is becoming generic and alike but once an opportunity presents its self to stand out from the mainstream, they cower away and hide behind ralph' club, aventus cloning and invictus type of smells.... Haven't we had enough of those blue mass pleasing, mainstream, very generic and money grabbing fragrances already? Flanker after flanker MASS PRUDICING...like freaking bugs......Le parfum this, parfum that, elixir this elixir that....for twats?
Ok...yes, that was a little rant, those of you reading this and got triggered, you deserved it xD
Ok, enough fun.... Yes! The opening is tough! For about 5mins.. I am talking about the initial spray! I sprayed once on my forehand, the juice is super oily! It basically took up to 15 minutes for my skin to actually absorb some of the essential oils used in this mega concentrated juice! It is mega in performance and it is one of those fragrances that smell better in the air than up close, not to mention, fills up a room! Maybe if you mildly spray in the air and walk through(MAKING A SCENT BUBBLE IN THE AIR) for best up close result. Try it...you'll thank me someday! And do not spray it on your neck...it will choke you out or might completely become nose blind to it.
After 15 mins is where the magic happens. It takes me on a satisfying floral (that is not rose) journey of which i longed for a long time... This one leans masculine for the first 30 mins then begins to settle a bit into a nice sensual floral woody (no oud here) scent with ambary nuances. It smells like an early morning walk through a wet green zone(garden-forest) filled with all sorts of different varieties of trees, flowers, plants and damp leaves everywhere. You can still smell the rain from the night before. The sun is rising, the greens are drying up! Just beautiful! You must at least sample it.
Don't mind the hate, i learned that people on fragrantica have nothing to do with i am actually experiencing. So many fragrances i turned a blind eye to because of reviewers and they turned out to be amazing fragrances once i actually smelled them my self! So discouraging, specifically in the niche community! According to fragrantica niche snobs, no scent is ever good.
I rest my case
