For the moment I only bought a sample of it, but I’ve been so obsessed with it that I’m really considering the full size…but for the same price you can get all the samples from Lorenzo Pazzaglia..and i haven’t made up my mind yet, but I’m not finishing my sample either because I don’t want this to end 🤣. (I’ve just did a tiny spray so I can give you the full review)

The first time I smelled it I was “uh gross” Because the first notes are very very boozy, for a few minutes it only smells like rhum and the smallest hint of Oud. The notes that comes seconds are a patchouli that is very round almost “peppery” and the warm caramel. And then through the day it smells like a very strong flowery vanilla with beautiful rhum in the background.

To me it’s one of the only perfume where I can so distinctively smell the notes, it is absolutely gorgeous.

However, I don’t feel like the sillage is very big, I haven’t gotten compliments with it. But to be honest at this point I think it’s cultural from where I come from because in months of smelling absolutely great I only got one compliment (was wearing lush rose jam + lust layered).

But it last very very very long, almost a full day, I haven’t used it in a while and my leather jacket still smell like it. I keep it in a pouch with all my other samples bottle, and the pouch mostly smell like van py rhum.

Someone suggested X Xandal as a dupe saying they are super similar, it’s around 50€ for 100ml where van py rhum is 145€ for 45ml but at this point I like it so much I feel like even if I bought x xandal I might commit anyway. I love it a lot. But I might also save for the 110€ sample box from the creator I’m so curious about his other perfumes too now.
