At first I thought well it smells like Mancera Aoud Vanille... then oh wait nutmeg, Azzaro Visit!... but also a bit smokey... quite close to by the Fireplace... what about these dry woods?... oh yea Oud Wood... is this chestnut I am smelling? SWY Intensely right there!... oh wow cold ash, where is that coming from?... is this oud in the drydown?... hello there leather jacket...
This pretty much describes my "Terroni experience". It morphes and changes like a chameleon. You think you can put your finger on it of what I reminds you but you can't. That is art my friends!

I never thought that the rose/ oud genre had still so much room for uniqueness. I tried dozens of oud scents and a lot of them are very close or even redundant. As a collector of discontinued scents I had it on my radar for a long time, however 90€ bucks seemed pretty steep for a almost certain redundant (so I thought) blind buy. The rising prices along with the somewhat unique sounding blackberry note convinced me to click the buy button. And boy was I surprised...
The opening has a blast of realistic and juicy/tart blackberry. Not dusty like in Jubilation XXV or metallic like in SMW, just realistic and authentic. After the first few minutes in merges with the slightly jammy rose and creates an aura of its own. The combination ts just so clever, it balances the sweet floral character of the rose perfectly. The oud is dark and woody but far away from any fecal directions.
It defeinetly shares similarities to its predecessor Intense Oud, which also used a similar dry and woody oud. In some way you could see it as a fruitier and more playful version of the intense Oud.
Longevity is decent but not a beast like the real Middle Eastern oud scents.
During the last years the Guilty line or even Gucci as a whole was one of the most uninspired brands out there, but gems like this save the reputation - well done, I sincerely applaud for such a release!

This one really got me by surprise. Its 90% close to Givenchy Pi Neo with the slightest undertones from the original SoCal. I absolutely adore this scent as I sold my Pi Neo and regretted it since. It opens up with a creamy orange note. Subtle floral notes and a laconic coconut smell build he bridge into the drydown, where mostly cedar and ambroxan dominate. The scent as a whole transports a summery/tropical feeling without going into the sunscreen type of territory. However, the longevity as well as the projection is well below average... Overall a great youthfull scent which shares more than a slight similarity with Givenchy Pi Neo. Thumbs Up!

Expected nothing and got it all. From the notes alone you would expect a very green and herbaceous scent, however the first sniff revealed a gorgeous 90s aquatic alla Acqua di Gio. Watery and sweet freshness accompanied by slight green pine nuances. The color of the bottle describes it quite well. It would fit perfectly in the AdG lineup as a release in the late 90s. There are not citrus fruits listed but there is definetly a fresh citrus splash in the opening - quite fizzy. Its not that synthetic, the performance is ok and all that for 14 bucks. Try it and write me a comment, I am interested what you guys are thinking!

Wow! In the top I smell gorgeous single malt whiskey - really realistic! These fruity malty notes tone back after 15 min and it gets sweeter and creamier. It somehow morphs from single malt into honey bourbon.
What a transformation! The longevity is nothing to complain about along with decent projection.
Its a magical elixir for colder days, anight out with boys or just enjoying life at home after hard day at work. The scent along with the special and high quality packaging makes this one of the most attractive Niche scents I ever came across. Cheers guys
