Honey dominant fragrance. Light handed on tobacco and that's exactly why I picked it up in full size. Projection and longevity are outstanding. I am really pleasantly surprised that it drifts away from cult of TF tobacco lookalikes. Try it if you can. You'll love it if you love Hiram Green Slowdive.

Mysterious, seductive 100% oriental fragrance with fiery start and sweet woody finish. Rose in here is very dark. Darker than Amouages Lyric which is my golden standard for this type of rose. I am blow away. Rose, vanilla and oud that is finally done right. Portrait of a Lady feels like diluted cologne when sprayed next to this baby. If you value performance and natural ingredients, Luna is a must-try

This one went straight to being pickled cucumbers on my skin. Where the hell is the sandalwood. I can buy pickles and soak my clothes in the juice and let it dry down and this would be on spot aroma. Glad I didn't go in for an entire bottle and got a sample of it first. The oud affair is still their best work to date.

Sorry to say, this one is a scrubber.

Reviewing Fantomas has reminded me that I haven't posted anything on this beauty even though my bottle is coming to an end. Let me start off with the fact that it is a synthetic fragrance. Testing it on the scented strip has little to no value. Spray it on the skin. Same goes for JHAG, Eccentric Molecules, Nomenclature and 27 87 creations. Simply let it warm up and develop on your skin for few minutes and only then give it an evaluation. If you sniff it in the test strip you'll get sandalwood smell from para_iso whit it doesn't even contain.

Once on the skin this gem opens with juicy mouthwatering quince pear. I always thought that quince scent profile is crossover between yuzu and pear. Here it is beautiful example of that. Pear juice with bitterness of yuzu like rind through and through. After an hour it turns more green, more (dare I say) herbaceous. It reminds me of a jungle. Rainforest greenery, white sandy beach nearby, it just rained. It is not fruity in a sense that you smell fruit salad bowl, it gives you the peaceful sense of the region where tropical fruits grow on the trees. Para_iso is exquisite and must have for those who love photorealistic perfumery. Absolute love

I'm not gonna lie I was expecting something mischevous from this one and all I got was fruity musk. It is a nice scent if you are young and it is summer. I'll have to return to mu sample once it is warmer outside. I feel that current snow is an unfortunate timing fr testing it out.

I'm getting lots of melon/watermelon derivatives from it. This is definitely not naturally smelling. I like synthetics that carry natural/close to nature vibe (best example would be Nomenclature NYC para_iso). Fantomas is as far from close to nature as it can be. It is more of a factory smells refining gasoline of some sort. I definitely need to try it out in other season
