Wood, elegant, sharp tea
is a tea fragrance done with real precision and taste. Citrus, tea, and a touch of mint create a fresh, vibrant opening (it actually reminds me of Torino21 for the first ~30 minutes), before it slowly evolves into something woodier, elegant, sharp, and subtly sensual. It’s not one of those loud extrait perfumes (I’ve s...

A bold, imposing rose
A bold, imposing rose, fruity and tart at the start, with a citrusy, spicy touch. It’s a dense, velvety rose. But what really got me, to the point of going full bottle, is the heart: warm, embracing. Lots of amber, resins, plenty of woods, plus those sweet little spices and that constant tart echo that drives me crazy....

Vanilla &drugs
A vanilla that plays with the contrast between sweetness and darker undertones. Right after spraying, I get this creamy, slightly medicinal vanilla (maybe some mineral notes?), but it’s not cloying — there’s also a hint of incense. It feels like an ancient, almost mystical vanilla. After about half an hour, it softens...

Marine scent without guts nor glory
a purely marine fragrance at the beginning. Rose vibes are present but are quite anonymous. I mean, they are discreet and do not annoy. I perceive a kind of roundness, it is pleasant and unisex (perhaps half a notch towards male leaning). I was looking for a camphor-y perfume that would give me the sensation of those r...

The smell of certainties in life
It DOES represent the lilac fragrance. Extremely creamy and velvety. I also get lots of musky nuances, coming from I’m not even sure what. The white florals are quite soft, at least for the first hour. The vetiver is there, but it stays in the background: it supports and balances the composition, though I personally wo...

Nutty vetiver
A warm, sophisticated vetiver — I get a nice mix of earthy and balsamic notes at first. Over time it warms up and turns surprisingly sweet, almost nutty… and that’s where the magic fades a bit for me. I was hoping it would keep a dirtier, darker nuance, but instead it reminded me of Vetiver & Golden Vanilla and Chipmun...

Solo Lei - review of the Extrait version
It's not a secret—tuberose feeling is not taking off.. But here we are! I would say finally, Solo Lei shows such a gentle tuberose that does not act as a prima donna but rather is capale of talking with the other notes. Beautiful combination with a clean gardenia. Absolutely not cloying/gourmand effect over there, wher...

Open up your mind
Imagine you're on a yacht, wind in your hair, ambient playlist humming in the background. This PG opens with a marine note so classy it makes you wonder if saltwater secretly does skincare. Then it comes something that smells like a tropical fruit — maybe a mango that went to etiquette school. There’s also this ozonic...
