Very fresh opening, mainly citron with some unknown to me notes, based on reviews it can be Youzu. However, after a while, it tones down it is like it behind some wet curtain, almost like someone is showering, and only some notes are coming to you.
Projection and silage are quite limited to me. It could be a very nice summer scent but lacks longer freshness, and perhaps warm spring would be perfect for it.

The longevity of this one is a joke, some of my deos last longer. The scent, however, is not bad. Typical refresher, great after-shower. Mainly mix of citruses, bergamot, and lemon. Great for summer but more in the terms, like more intensive shower gel.

This is Prada approach to new Fougere, with a lot of advertising of dark, rock, industrial type of thing. Ok I get it, but making it less natural and more synthetic doesn't make you industrial.

I don't see anything dark here or mineral so not sure about what carbon are we speaking about. For me it is a bit of soft, polished fragrance, the opening is quite a woody-fresh mix, a bit of lavender some hidden citrus and a bit of paper. Almost like everything is covered under a layer of lacquer. During a dry down, I think this is the only phase where remains of carbon can be noticed, as there is a bit of ash, smoke notes. But in some why a bit irritant like you are expecting lavender but get it covered by a smoke curtain.

Not in my type.

This one has a lot of mixed reviews, perhaps some people expect more from MFK, bough blind or didn't read the description at the official page.

Perfumes are created for many occasions, sometimes great creators instead of suggesting wearing occasions, tell the story or want to mimic specific location, activity. This is how it is described on the official page "delightful freshness of an early morning in Paris" Inspiration is quite clear here as well, in my opinion, when and for what occasion it can be worn.

If you look from that perspective and set your expectation correctly, that the rating and perception can change.

Very intense opening, almost citrus espresso, intense citrus with hints of orange. There is a bit of something synthetic almost like fabric softener (this is the lows of this scent). It is clean, energizing almost perfect to start your day, and many of us start a day with breakfast. Perhaps this one is more suitable for the city breakfast, but you get the point. Nothing complicated just a fresher.

Dry down depending on a day is sometimes more amber heavy or sometimes disappear completely to be near-skin day. Which mediocre longevity you may say as cons, however, breakfast is over, maybe you will use something different for a day

This is the first Amouage I have tested, and if this is a light version of what the product, I must say I want more!

Very quality ingredients, well blended, mainly dominating flower notes with some resin and smoke in the background. My favorite part is during the dry down phase, very pleasant frankincense with a dash of sweetness, but the sweetness from flowers. Really nice.

Sillage could be better, but that one is all-rounder, you can wear it for a lot of occasions, temperatures, and time of day.
