Wet earth smell in a bottle
This perfume is the smell of wet earth, of a wall with humidity, with some other things.
The first 45 minutes are the best, we have a lot of wet earth, that makes you feel as if you were in a cave, soon a banana note joins, and thus the fruity component rises until it reaches 25 minutes where we will have wet earth, banana and fig, at this point we have a quite unique, pleasant combination, but that has nothing to do with the original idea or at least the one I expected, it is as if the mixture had been unbalanced.
Soon the smell of wet earth dominate the mix again, which loses progressively the surrounding effect. About the performance, it projects for an hour and a half well and it last about 5 hours.
It has left me a bit cold, I expected more from "the original bat formula", where the best part is when the components go crazy, I personally love the smell of wet earth, and maybe if you use it on a rainy day listening to sad music you'll enter in a melancholic loop that will mark that day for the rest of your life, but it stills being just the smell of humid earth bottled with little usability.

Interestellar trip
We are smelling a full experimental perfume, different to everything, chamomile, ginger, mineral notes, and there is something...it has a note that is not especially pleasant, ozone perhaps? It is difficult to tolerate, but it is different. In the air that note is bearable, it could even be wearable.
Notes of cold metal dominate after the opening, something like iodine, aldehydes and something floral like withered. I don't know if it is because I have it internalized by the images, but it may have that smells like nebula, gaseous and mineral, the chord is unique, I have not tried anything similar.
It projects well, a meter and a half, lasts well, about 6 hours, no complainings about performance.
The bottle is especially beautiful.

Garish, young, fruity smell
The opening is very nice, although more fruity than I expected, perhaps I was expecting something more elegant. It smells a little bit like this kind of soft candies. One hour later, the powdery effect begging to disappear, so it gets more fruity.
It's not a bad fragrance, what you see in the the notes listed is what you get, fruit, wood and a powdery effect, but it isn't elegant, it's garish, demanding,, young, for that effect I prefer Sauvage, and for a fruity-elegant I prefer Oud Rain.
It reminds me a designer-type scent, this is not necessarily bad, the price is good and it's a fun fragrance that people will like for sure, if you like that style the only downside would be the projection that is in the low side.

Into the smell of Grenouille's spell
Since the opening it caught my attention, it's a unique combination of amber, birch, benzoin and orange, giving a citrus-amber vibe, but not too sweet.
It reminds a little to the smell of Blue Amber, that cozy feeling of an old loft, something melancholic. Although it's not listed, it has something leathery, I suppose that's the birch-benzoin part, the effect is quite cool.
Opening sillage is around a meter and a half, good quality of ingredients.
There is a subtle mix of lavender-jasmine that adds to the old smelling effect that it smells old, giving more uniqueness to the chord.
My partner didn't like it, she said that it smelled very strong and heavy classical, such as Shalimar could be, but even heavier, however I was not harassed by the bursts from my neck, I think it lasts longer than it projects.
After three hours there are citrus, orange, the vanilla touch of benzoin (perhaps this also contributed to the old smell effect). Now that it is drying it feels even older, but I'm enjoying it anyway, I understand that this phase is difficult and it's not for everyone, it requires a certain tolerance.
It smells to another era, not the typical "it smells classic of the 70/80", it's the smell of The perfumist, of Grenouille.

The big brother of Gucci Guilty Absolute
This perfume smells like a Gucci Guilty Absolute but without cypres and with something herbal instead.
Morillas sometimes doesn't declare the leather within the notes (Black Tie example) but if there isn't leather, there is some alchemy because to a earthy accord of vetiver and papyrus doesn't smell.
Linear, but pleasant, one more point of quality than Guilty Absolute, you may think that they are very similar until you have them hand by hand, the price is excessive, but it is still a full-bodied leather perfume worth trying.
