What wearers say
“So so good. Prefer it to LDBS and Oriana. insane longitivity and projection. It's deeper and more sensual and that's how I prefer my perfumes to be. Total compliment getter.”
“I’m glad I bought it because if I had relied on the reviews here I wouldn’t 😅This IS a LDBS in a more intense, dark and sexy way. It’s the same DNA but definitely not a clone.I mainly got convinced because of the great perfumer that created this, Jean-Louis Sieuzac. I thought “if he created this it cannot be bad”. And for sure it’s not. Maybe some bottles need to sit to get better, as I’m sure this one also (and believe me, not only Middle Eastern creations need to sit, I’ve got MANY expensive designers and niche that got much better after a while of opening).”
“This is horrible .I’m not sure if I got bad batch or something . When I first smelled this months ago it smelled like LDBS/Sinatra but with berries , now it just smells sour , not other notes , just a sour black currant bug spray . I’m so done with ME cheapies . Just save your money and get higher quality scents .”
