Waste of money
This is watered down Prada Candy with cardamom on top. Very feminine and somewhat old lady smelling. If you had grandma obsessed with eating Werthers Original, this is pretty much the short description of the fragrance - candy eating grandma.

I am so disappointed in this. Absolutely not worth the price. Longevity and sillage are non existent which makes this purchase even more sad. One big loss of money. Think twice before purchasing a bottle that you can't sample. Don't repeat my mistake.

Pretty
Pretty fragrance with dangerous price. Bottle is gold plated with actual gold so bring your bottles to pawnshop after they are used up ;) Jokes aside, very opulent white floral scent. It feels like concentrations of the oils here are 30-40% which is crzy much considering the modern days.

Short sum-up: Indolic tuberose with heady creamy sandalwood. After 2 hours drydown shows up with tobacco and honey. Very unisex, can be easily worn by men who adore neroli and tuberose. IT will be more successful amongst the female buyers.

Soooo...Scent is great. Price is even greater. Bottle wise, nothing that hasn't been done by other Italian brands with gold overspray and etched lines. Look at what Moresque did years ago. (P.S. same with Rosa Ekaterina styling taken over into the Apollo.... just saying). I assume it's crystal, It's way heavier than normal ones from XJ. Overall presentation is cool but has been done before. Scent wise solid 9 out of 10

Polished green
This smells exactly like the bottle is looking. It's green apple, fizzy fruits, bit of tartness from fruit. I detect mango and papaya very intensely. Underneath the fizziness is more serious stuff going on. Something smelling of dried wood, musk, ambrette and non-sweet vanilla. It's a great release. Will be getting it for the summer.

Not my kind of drink
This is a weird scent. The first thing I thought of when sampling it in the boutique was The Body Shop's Cucucmber shower gel my daughter used to get years ago. Considering it's price I don't want to be smelling like a cucumber, nor like a washed teenager...

In the opening it is all about the watery cucumbers. After it dries down on the skin teeny-tiny amount of juniper and synthetic peomosa molecule appear and remain there till the scent dies. Poor projection, average longevity, basic women's department store cologne. Calling it "elegant/sophisticated" is harder than keeping in a sneeze in the middle of Tesco in 2020.

Great amber
Ô Hira is my nr. 1 fall-winter scent. I've cut 50 amber scents out of my collection just keeping this and Xerjoff. It's so good that you don't ever need to look for another ambery scent. Sultry, a bit salty, animalic, it's divine.
