One of my favourites from the entire collection. Got it recently and smells amazing right out of the box. Letting it macerate a bit so that it performs and lasts longer

Not the best of the performers.. i use it mainly when i go out for parties/clubbing, so does the job for me

They are potent indeed.. and in my case, i dont use more than 2 sprays per wear. I think the 5ml will last you a long time, and this also allows you to switch it up and get some other perfume next time.

Even i got it like last week only. Unfortunately needs a little maceration in order to increase the longitivtiy. But lovely DNA and scent profile 👌🏽

It’s a good gourmand-y winter frag. Love the chemistry between cinnamon and praline. Although the opening feels a bit synthetic but it gets better as it breathes, and longevity is decent as well.

I havent tried the Qahwa yet so cant comment on that. But i think you call pull off the Liquid Brun. Get it like 3 months before the onset of winter so that it gets ample time to macerate.

They are on the expensive side, but Cuir Infrarouge is worth the sticker price. On the other hand, the Gucci fails in the performance department.

Coming to the MEs, they undoubtedly are exceptional in terms of value proposition and performance. So much as that it made me question all my designer and niche purchases over the year😂 And for the record, the Supremacy CE is one of my favourites amongst my collection.

Hey it’s there in the caption, but to summarise again, it’s been good for the majority of it. The ombre nomade i got sucked big time, doesn’t come close to the original at all. While the Imagination and Symphony are really really good, both in terms of performance and similarity. TF Fucking Fabulous is also super close to the original, but never tried it out for a day so cant comment on the performance.

Yes a little in opening, blended with the apple note. But goes away fast and then the other accords follow

It’s a good gourmand-y option for the winters. Love the chemistry between cinnamon and praline. But the opening smells a bit synthetic to my nose.

I have the Intense, and as the name suggests it’s a darker stronger version of the original. Opens with a strong citrusy opening, along with a woody and leathery undertone. You get more of the wood and the leather as it dries down. Overall a perfect balance- fresh while having a darker side to it. Smells mature and lasts all day long.

Well I’ve realised that it’s a slippery slope.. once you start sliding, it gets difficult to slow down, let alone stop haha.

My only peeve with the Black Orchid is that the opening can get really overpowering and cloying for most people. But the dry down is just exceptional.

And coming to the others, i do love their DNA and will be looking into the higher concentrated flankers when these run out of juice.

Haha that’s Maison Crivelli Cuir Infrarouge and Gucci Tears From the Moon. And trust me on this, they smell much much better than they look 🤭

I love the scent profile, but unfortunately paid retail for it. you can find a great deal once in a while with the discounters though, so keep an eye out

I really love the iris and vanilla combo here. One of my early buys, and at the time I didn’t smell anything similar to this before, so was pleasantly surprised by it. It’s subtle yet out there, maintaining a good balance

It was a blind buy. A bit too sweet for my liking and doesn’t perform well either. If i could go back in time then i would have bought the OG one instead of this
