Not For Me

It opens incredibly strong, almost headache inducing strong. The scent is aggressive, overpowered by floral smell but quickly simmers down (about 10-15 minutes) to a manageable level. The Saffron keeps up the floral notes but the mango comes out to give a much needed sweetness. Not much Bergamot to be detected, but that could be me misreading the note. After about an hour, the middle notes become the forefront of the scent with the two making a powdery flower smell. I’m unable to distinguish which one’s doing which. Hour four, the powdery smell is still strong but the flower scent has eased back to make way for the base notes. Woody undertone adding some weight to this fragrance in the latter half of its lifespan. Nothing objectively wrong except for the aggressive start, but not for me. Feels somewhat average, it does nothing to separate itself from the competition.

Love!

This is such a beautiful scent. It was love at first spray and full bottle worthy for me

Zingy, fruits and oud. Solid lasting power. About 6 hours. Seems like a skin scent after that, but that lasted another 2 hours
