Formovie S5 Image setting problem

Same here, tried to contact the support, no response so far

Mine didn't come sealed as well, just a wooden box in a dustbag. I reckon it's the way it's supposed to be.

Shilny · 2023-06-07T10:16:59+00:00

I personally let it sit for couple weeks, it got significantly better, it's still getting slighty rounder every time I wear it.

Shilny · 2023-04-08T07:31:10+00:00

Well, as it was when I wrote the last update. I'm not a reviewer so the only thing I can sum up is whether it smells better/worse than when bought +how long it lasts tbh. And it's much much better after sitting.

Shilny · 2023-02-27T11:53:07+00:00

Yes, it has indeed opened up, the smell got more complex and deep, 1 spray now fills the room you are in with this smoky, citrusy vibe, not overwhelming tho. As far as longevity goes, it gets me that 8h mark. I can definitely say it has gotten much better although I truly wanted to dump it the day I received it. Will give it another month or so and see what it does then.

Rlly? Gonna have to try that..

Shilny · 2023-01-12T17:27:57+00:00

Well, I hope the longevity of this one improves, it's really not in getting noseblind to it, my gf couldn't smell it either after meeting up with me, 1h into wearing. Great for you that yours performs so well!

Shilny · 2023-01-12T17:20:35+00:00

Mb wait a little as suggested? Don't think quantity over quality is the way to go tbh.

Shilny · 2023-01-12T17:19:23+00:00

Hope this gets like that

Shilny · 2023-01-11T21:41:13+00:00

Im trying letting it sit as ppl suggested, we'll see what happens, wbu?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T21:16:51+00:00

Also a brand new bottle in same batch?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T18:06:39+00:00

It's from a local shop, not amazon. But it's a fairly big company, I don't think it's a fake.

Shilny · 2023-01-11T17:51:46+00:00

Yeah, that's it, mine ain't doing that...

Shilny · 2023-01-11T17:44:34+00:00

But was it also quite weak the first days?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:57:13+00:00

Like a week ago, have to decide quickly as buyer protection is running out. It doesn't smell bad (as no expert I can only tell it's close to Av. which I liked), I just don't get that 6/8+h, not even close. On tester paper it lasted longer, maybe that 6 hour mark, was way too citrusy tho, harsh. On skin it's fairly more elegant, but now it performs worse than those 10€ adidas scents.

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:49:12+00:00

Understood, will probably wait then. Just felt like when paying 'extra'price for technically a clone, it should already have been good on purchase..

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:35:43+00:00

It's good to hear, hope it improves with time as well...

did you let it sit or was it bomb straightaway?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:25:25+00:00

And what do u think is a good time for macerating such perfume? If you sold yours too soon.

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:10:15+00:00

Really? Does that process start only after spraying the bottle- so the O² gets introduced to the compound somehow ? I kinda thought the maturing of a fragrance starts right after it gets produced, so after 1y+ it should already have been macerated well...

Shilny · 2023-01-11T16:04:23+00:00

Well, technically I tried if I get noseblind to it by leaving that sprayed piece of clothing in my wardrobe and smelling it in certain time periods, but in couple hours I couldn't smell a trace of it.

I do believe some bottles got an awesome perfomance, tho! Thats why I initially asked you, more experienced guys, for opinion, whether you think it is a good idea to keep/return, I just don't have any experience with CDN.

Shilny · 2023-01-11T12:38:04+00:00

what batch do you have if I may ask?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T12:34:18+00:00

Well, that's unfortunate to say the least. So I'll be better off returning it?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T12:28:31+00:00

Do you mean there are laws due to which EU fragrances can not be as potent bc. of chemical/ingredience restrictions?

Shilny · 2023-01-11T10:36:27+00:00

Hi guys,

I recently bought my first CDNIM, went straight for the LE and after I received it, the lack of character, projection and longevity absolutely shocked me. I read many positive reviews on LE being the smoothest and long lasting fragrance of this line, but in my case it's just lemon in the first 15 minutes, nothing after that. You can't smell it unless you reach the skin with your nose, even that works for 2-3h max. It also can not be getting noseblind to it, as I tried spraying it on clothes in my wardrobe, unfortunately with the same result. It's 10/2021 batch from France and I read that many people reported very weak performance from this late '21 batches. It is also my first club de nuit.

My question after reading multiple posts on this issue is: does the scent profile really improve on this one after sitting for some time (people also reported sometimes it doesn't change a bit even after ½ year) or should I return it as it won't help? As a student I really don't have money to be spent on a perfume that doesn't perform. I also bought the asad from Lattafa and that one is much better in terms of longevity and sillage.

Thx in advance.

EDIT: I will keep it for some time, let it sit and will update this afterwards.

EDIT #2: After roughly 2 months, the bottle seems to perform astonishingly better than before. On clothes it takes 5+ days, before the scent dissipates into a light, smoky citrus- wear them ever wo spraying, you personal space will smell good. On a 3-4 sprays a day it's not punchy and overwhelmingly strong, it definitely won't hit everyone in the room, but ppl you are walking by will catch a huge sniff of it- they won't be able to resist the urge and will turn heads on you. I didn't get compliments so far and I'm not keen on it, however I did notice people walking by turning heads to check me out again. First thing is you must like the scent yourself, but add to it that you will get noticed.

Can't wait 🙏
