Vanitas

“I have decided to make this my signature scent..been going on a hunt for perfumes for a long time..and could not find any scent that is distinctive and suitable for me..every other scent is similar or too plain.Vanitas is the only scent that always gets me compliments. I wear a lot of perfume and at most they only smell sweet or nice, nothing special. Vanitas makes me smell and feel special.It lasts a good while in the tropical country where I live. No idea why others say it doesn't last.”

“The beginning phase is way too sharp, it burns my nostrils. The middle phase is the best, where creamy coconut-y tiare flower, tonka, something that smells like tuberose and gardenia, and the sharpness from the lime and cedar meet in harmony smelling similar to Datura Noir by Serge Lutens, and this is the best part. The ultimate drydown, or longest phase, is pure Tiare flower with some citrus. I would only use this on a Summer night. It would be safe to say that this is ultimately Versace Crystal Noir mixed with Versace Bright Crystal.”

“Clean and fresh.Develops into a creamy floral. Not a sillage bomb, but it does last 6-8 hours. Does very well in humidity and heat.I think this is rather unisex. It is floral, but not 'flowery'.If you're a man looking for something a little different, I'd totally try Vanitas; office, boardroom or bedroom.”
