A "Philosykos" for me.
It is greener and never reaches the level of the nauseating coconut sweetness of the real Philosykos. After a few hours, it becomes a nice and creamy, slightly cosmetic skin scent. Very pleasant. Both the sillage and longevity could be better.
Currant and vanilla with a leathery vibe
I generally buy face creams from Fridge. Fridge is a small Polish company that produces great hand-made cosmetics without preservatives - hence the name. Fridge cosmetics have to be kept in a fridge. I admit I am addicted to some of them. Unfortunately, their fragrances are not so great but still worth a try.
They are definitely niche fragrances. yDe 2 is "soft niche" though it isn't mainstream, either. The notes have changed - the current formulation does not contain nuts or licorice, but fresia and iris instead. I believe I bought a bottle with the licorice note, but I can smell mainly currant, vanilla and woody notes. Towards the end, the fragrance gets leathery, or is it suede? It definitely has a slightly masculine vibe. I think a man could pull it off. There are definitely more interesting and more niche Fridge fragrances like Tea without Sugar, Meadow Melody or Don't Follow Me. I blind bought this one because it was 30% off.
Pay in mind, that this is a perfume based on natural substances, without the many chemical enhancers and fixatives. That's why it smells different than "regular" perfumes and that's why, I guess, it gets low notes. People are just not accustomed to it.
The sillage is quite weak. The longevity is somewhat better. I think this perfume could be worn all year round but it smells the best in warm weather. I think it is suitable for office wear.
I'm not a fan of the bottle. It is the same type of bottle they put their rose water or deo in, only adorned with small crystals.
