Corium

“Smells just like SWYI but with a little less sweetness/syrupiness and a small subliminal hint of leather added. (I dislike leather notes in fragrances so if I like this fragrance, the leather is very light).Performance is comparable to SWYI, probably 90% as much projection and sillage with similar longevity.”

“Opening is a bit medicinal/chemical like as leather is their. You will feel spice, slight sweetness and leather dominance initially but after 15 to 20 min the leather will start getting settling down and the chestnut, vanilla comes to play. And as it keep drying the leather will get almost settled. I didn't like the opening beacuse it felt medicinal to me, as i am not fan of leather. But as it dry down it gets better. Strictly not a summer perfume. Better to wear in winters. May not be a blind buy if your are not into leather note.”

“Addendum to last review. Just tried a spray of By the Fireplace, and it smells pretty similar to Corium. Corium is nowhere near as smoky on the opening, and not as caramel sweet on the drydown, but definitely in the same ballpark.”
