What wearers say
“Instant love as soon as I sprayed, think althair with an airy slightly fresher vibe, I believe it has quite a bit of ambroxan which explains the performance. I made the mistake of applying 7/8 sprays, you certainly don’t go nose blind and the performance is outstanding. If you love althair or liquid brun but want better performance, this is a no brainer.”
“well its been a while since a fragrance made go wow... the opening smells like spicy cardamon and then the vanilla and cacao kicks in with a bit of orange breeze for a gourmand heaven combo like oh my god!!! this is a masterpiece...this will turn heads and will get you compliments like crazy, as its a new scent profile even for me and I've been collecting for years now, if i smelled this on someone else i would follow him/her home to ask to show me what they're wearing! its that good!!!”
“Musky vanilla and cardamom?!?! Literally a dream come true in a bottle.The cardamom is VERY strong in the opening. As a cardamom lover, I had no complaints. The frankincense wasn’t as strong to my nose, it was very subtle. Such a gorgeous combination in my opinion.On the dry down, it becomes a gorgeous musky vanilla. The cardamom stays but lingers in the background, giving the vanilla and musk a lovely hint of spice.”
