L'eau de Parfum

“I just recieved my decant and upon spraying it, my pupils dilated. "I must order a full bottle right NOW." The buttery popcorn, caramel apple opening is divine. After a few minutes, in the dry down I recognized the scent. A fluffy, whipped, buttery vanilla with a hint of lemon. It smells like a bottle of my beloved Khadlaj Empire Victor. They smell so much alike in the dry down, not 1 to 1, but close enough (to me). It lacks that beautiful opening that Cirque du Soleil has, but the opening doesn't last long so guess I won't be needing to buy a full bottle of this gem after all.”

“opening blast smells like buttered popcorn, quickly fades into something almost smoky, yet retains its sweetness from the vanilla and caramel maybe? definitely a gourmand scent. The sandalwood base note is a little too strong and too prominent for me. (I am very bothered by sharp sandalwood/woods). It's unique. I like it, and if I could find a bottle at a better price than $195 I may pick one up.”

“I used to be a professional clown and sometimes I just wanna smell like a circus, minus the elephant poo. This perfume works! But there is something in the drydown (maybe the sandlewood?) that is coming off a little too dissonant for me. Too much saw dust for me! I can see how it makes the perfume more interesting for some, but if you don’t like woody notes, it may bother you. I just tried Carmel Pop by Vivamore and it’s VERY similar to this but without the complex/musky/wood dry down. It’s the basic bit$h version.”
