Small disclaimer up front: I love tuberose, blackcurrant and I also love (!) Kir Royal (read that this note should be in there too). In combination with plum, rose, ylang-ylang, vanilla and amber this should be my dream scent. Well, directly at the first spraying became a nightmare from it.
The tuberose is animalic, but not in the erotic, but rather in the "stay me from suffering" - sense. The scent is sultry and almost smothers you, like an intrusive suitor permanently seeking your proximity. Could imagine that the combination with Davana brings this effect.
The pepper drills its way through and does not let off even after hours.
All the other notes completely escaped me, unfortunately.
And free according to Murphy's Law is the H/S thereby excellent)).

It remains: Luca Maffei and my nose do not fit together

Take a chocolate cake base fresh from the oven, warm and smelling delicious. Drizzle some crème de cassis over it and fill it with a mix of blueberry jam and vanilla cream. Finally, decorate the tart with freshly harvested hazelnuts. If you then put the cake on the windowsill to cool completely, a spontaneous visit from the neighbors is guaranteed )).

The perfume is one of my absolute favorites! With all the above-described mix, which hits you like a bolt of lightning immediately and does not let go until the complete fading, the fragrance is not at all "heavy". The vanilla is woody and chocolaty and not artificial in any way. It frames the perfume and gives it a base, a ground, which supports the mixture of berries.
And what makes the scent unique for me is something nutty in the background. The nuts are not roasted, but fresh and even still with leaves. This light-green note (sounds so Genmaicha?) makes the perfume not boring.

All in one and in one word - delicious!

I'm sorry to say that this fragrance is an absolute disappointment for me. It basically smells like nothing - flat, neither sweet, nor fresh or fruity. The hoped for effect of the combination of suede, heliotrope and raspberry is simply not there. Not to mention amber or sandalwood. There is a slight peppery note, but this does not add depth to the perfume, rather it detracts. I lack like words...at least positive )

I have a fairly large collection of limited edition Angel and Alien. And this Angel is my absolute favorite!!! Have had the luck to get hold of two bottles at the time, one of which was already used up after a few months, because I could not get tired of it.

You can definitely hear the Angel base - as with all versions - however, this is a more fruity and balanced edition. The notes are perfectly combined and give a round, soft tone. I don't hear the leather at all, but there is something there that keeps the perfume from being too sweet.

Now the second bottle stands timidly in the corner and I'm afraid to start it, because this one will also end quickly again and this time forever ;(.

-"You were and will always be my rose. The loveliest picture of a man, the loveliest thought..."
-"Oh, a picture, a thought, that's all I am to you, you dreaming romantic fool. You have no idea what love really is. Oh, go away. I can't stand the sight of you anymore. You forgot one thing in your picture of the rose. It has sharp, prickly thorns."
For me, this quote from the novel "The Thorn Birds" pretty much sums up the emotions associated with perfume. Why? Well, there are several reasons.
I like to buy "blind" and orient myself on the chords, the notes, the perfumer, but also on reviews on different platforms. Usually the strategy works, but unfortunately not always - so it happened with this fragrance.
While searching for my "perfect" rose scent, I came across a few reviews of this perfume. It was usually described as an oriental-warm vanilla rose, which for me was in effect a call to buy. The notes fit too, and I love Alberto Morillas anyway. After a lot of back-and-forth (the price is quite high after all), I decided to buy it. The package arrived and...wait, is this the right perfume? Where's the vanilla, the wärem and above all - where's the rose? What came to me was a bitter-sour patchouli scent. Dry, very dry in fact. The rose comes out a little more with time, but so minimally that I can hardly call the perfume a rose scent.
I tried it a few more times, but nothing changed. My skin simply refuses to accept the perfume.
The disappointment passed, of course. What remained is the (but again) confirmation that "blind purchases" are fun, but just can hurt :).

So, always brav before test and do not forget: every rose has thorns ;-)
