What wearers say

“There is something quite aggressive on the opening that very suddenly disappears when the fragrance starts to settle down, that opening lead me to think an old person would smell like this opening .But the drydown impressed me with a subtle creamy vanilla that unfortunately doesn’t have a good performance, but that is a great smell, not basic.”

“I have gotten my mind on a full bottle of this.First whiff smells like absolute bum for me. Insane, very animalic, not sure how one would consider that sexy, however, after letting this sit for 10 minutes, it smells absolutely wonderful. People compare this to YSL Babycat, however, they are two very different smells to my nose (Babycat smells like burnt plastic to me)Longevity is a disappointment, however. I only get 2 hours, with sillage being super close and personal, though the SA has told me to wait it out.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This stuff is very good. Starts with a soft and musky vanilla smell that gets lifted by some floral notes, makes it brighter. During the dry down, the castoreum adds depth to this linear vanilla. Smells like the purest vanilla Ice cream you’ve ever had. Projection is average but longevity is pretty good.”
