“This opens on the harsh side, quite similar to TF Tuscan Leather. Later it turns into something reminiscent of Armani Prive Cuir Amethyste. It’s such a noticeable change that it’s like wearing two different fragrances. I very much dislike the opening, I like the dry down, but not sure it’s worth suffering through the opening. I blind bought it…I know, I know…and now I’m hoping that if/when I decide to revisit it, that there will be some saving grace in the opening 🤞🏼.”
“The opening of MP reminds me of cool nights in Istanbul near the seaside with a view of the Bosphorus.Top notes of this are absolutely gorgeous to me, like the 'smell of the night breeze' with a hint of rose. Sadly, to me the drydown is very juicy roses (guess it's from the fruity note).Definitely a cold night classy fragrance, otherwise roses will be cloying.Opening: 9.5 / 10. Drydown: 8 / 10.”
“This is very nice scent but it could be a release from Boss or Lalique or Yohji with lower price. It smells nice but not expensive.Patchouli is not the big boss here. Rose, iris, cacao and leather are also strong. I wouldn't recommend it for a hardcore patchouli lover. There's also a feeling at the background of mint (?) chewing gum. I think it's something reacting with iris..Longevity is very nice about 7-8 hours. Sillage/projection are moderate.”
