What wearers say
“I really, really love BO Le Parfum so I had high hopes for this.However, it doesn’t have the creaminess or depth of the original. It doesn’t even really remind me of the original. It’s not a bad perfume, but I don’t think the performance is particularly great and it gives off a slightly bitter smell on me so I’m going to declutter it.Promised a lot; didn’t deliver for me.”
“I love this one, i've had it for quite some time and i think it is a sofisticated take on perfumy vanilla.Its unissex (feminine leaning) and its good for formal occasions. I could also see this as a date night fragrance, it has some appeal to it. Performance is OK.There is a subtle coffee note and no civets were harmed on the manufactory of this scent.”
“No proper info anywhere except couple of videos on YT. I was interested and ordered this to find out. I'll let you know in about a week when it arrives...Edit:Heavy coffee, sweetness, animalic, ambroxan and vanilla. Not my cup of tea, but I bet some will love this. Reminds me a bit of Black Opium or L'Interdit Rouge Ultime. I think it's still unisex.”
