Inspired by Terre D' Herm. - 481

Sampler very close to the real thing , although doesn't last. But that's toa be expected at the price point. (In fact , the real thing doesn't last that well either these days). Definitely getting the full size bottle and recommending.

A lot of fragrance users judge scents by the opening, projection, compliments and “strength”; but for me, I judge much more by emotional atmosphere, naturalness, whether it feels synthetic/intrusive and how the dry-down sits after hours of exposure. TEV481 is not an ambroxian bomb in a beast mode, and is by far my total favourite out of the entire TEV catalogue and beyond that I use for my own pleasure several times a day everyday.

Having bought the three perfumes I was curious to see how essence vault sents would compare... Well guess what they smell the same! And a fraction of the price, my work colleagues keep asking me what I'm wearing?? I informed them but said look for this number and it will bring up the sent. They smell me before they see me lol 😆
