What wearers say

“This scent profile is an absolute 10/10 for me, I find it projects really well for the first few hours before fading gradually after that, longevity is moderate, maybe 5-6 hours. I do wish it lasted a bit longer but it’s still a great fragrance and for me projection and sillage is decent while it lasts. It’s pretty expensive but there are some great clones about if you can’t justify the price.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I fell in love with this scent the first time it touched my nose.In the opening, you get sort of a zesty, floral opening that lasts ~30 minutes.What comes after is astonishing levels of richness, spiciness, unique sweetness that genuinely makes this an addictive, seductive, and smooth fragrance similar to Vanilla Diorama.It lasts 8+ hours on my skin, with decent projection; overall, if you need a signature scent for the winter, GET THIS.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Great clean smell, ozonic, sweet, and the coriander seed adds an interesting element. Average longevity with horrid projection and sillage. Not worth the price for me.”
