“This was a blind buy that far exceeded my expectations. It really smells divine! It has the perfect balance of sweet & spicey. I get so many compliments when I wear it & 2 friends have already ordered for themselves. A little lasts a long time. I will definitely buy again.”
“This is what I have been looking for in a warm, sexy scent, I layered it with Dior's Hypnotic Poison, and I got two compliments in the same store, one man in the checkout said "Excuse me what perfume are you wearing? the smell is so intoxicating and unusual, I've lost my train of thought and want to follow you home!"..lol.. Get this and layer with dark winter gourmand scented perfumes heavy in caramel or praline scents or layer with a deep, dark rose or a dark vanilla scent, to change their profile and you won't be disappointed.But the scent is not for the faint of heart, so if you don't enjoy heavy dark sexy scents, that lean very almost cherry tobacco and exotic spice shop, this is not for you, and a little goes a looong way.”
“Beautiful. I love this smell. Normally I prefer powerful and floral. But this scent is amazing. It's not so potent but it last all day. Even as the scent seems to wear off (4-5 hr ish maybe 2 to 3 if your more active) you can still smell it on the skin. It has a warm vanilla Carmel slightly smokey flavor. A dude could totally wear this although it's not a super masculine smell but not quit feminine either. The smell reminds me of fall and smores over a fire. I honestly wear it for me. Perfect for fall weather.”
“I am so happy to love this perfume oil. I was not sure what to expect but the notes were right up my alley so I had to try! I have to say this has a strong linger I personally do not mind that I feel like women perfumes are weaker than men's cologne so it's nice when a perfume oil or a perfume has a strong linger to it, especially for the prices that we pay, even though this is on the more affordable side, it makes it even more enjoyable, because I was sitting about 3-4 ft from someone who could smell it! She asked what I was wearing, so clearly it smells good, and it's potent. As for the longevity, it is very lasting. I definitely can smell it even after a day on my skin. I've paired it with Kayali Vanilla OUD this is a really good combination as well as with my black OUD body butter from SKNMUSE! I do not smell anything that smells like a way to mature perfume, so this does not give her like elder women. Best way to describe this perfume oil is mixing Chanel Coco Nior with Black Opium extreme!”
“This scent when you first apply is BEYOND HEAVENLY.... absolutely delicious!!!! The vanilla, caramel and jasmine are so forward and warm...... HOWEVER - after 5 or so minutes those scents fade away and the rose and vetiver are pretty much all you smell...... It's nice... very woodsy... but I wish the mixed sweeter notes lasted longer. The overall scent is semi-lasting... would say after 4 or 5 hours its barely alive, but a close whiff can still sense it. Very nice, but not amazing.”
“This fragrance oil is so beautifully packaged in a black leather-textured presentation box. Definitely wasn't expecting the wonderful packaging, which complements the quality of the bottle that the oil comes in!! This would make a nice gift to someone who loves fragrances. The box and the design of the bottle are very classy, and such high quality that it looks like it would have cost much more. The lid and glass bottle are heavy weight, substantial.The fragrance itself is hard to describe. My first impression was that it was very strong of baby powder and vetiver. First impression was that I liked it and also disliked it at the same time. It definitely smells very similar if not identical to what some of my elderly Arabic female relatives wear!! There's a strong matronly vibe to this, but I might be thinking it's a scent for a situ because of the association with older women I know who are wearing this or similar. Definitely an Arabic perfume, which I know is quite trendy right now. This isn't a perfume for everyone, and it's not a safe blind buy unless you already kind of know what to expect from Arabic perfumes. I know that's not saying much, as there are literally thousands of such fragrances, but I don't really know how explain it otherwise. I think some people would absolutely hate this smell, and others would find it very appealing.It's a somewhat floral scent, and while oud is definitely there, it's not as strong a presence as would be expected by the name. I was worried it might smell too masculine, as oud is more associated with masculine products. It seems more of a feminine fragrance, just a touch of oud. There's definitely chocolate aroma after it has dried down on the skin. It's a much more complex perfume also than what I had expected. To me, the main note I notice is vetiver! I don't particularly like vetiver. My mother insists this perfume smells awful and that it smells like "old Avon." I think the vetiver is why she said that.This does last a long time on the skin. I would recommend it hands down for that reason alone! I am so sick of buying endless bottles of stuff labeled "eau de parfum" that linger less than 30 minutes!! Not being nose-blind here lol, I do own several good perfumes that last all day...and quite a few that should have been labeled as body mist!! So if you want a lasting, generally pleasant fragrance--buy this!! It does last longer than some other essential oils that I wear, and it's longer lasting than most any spray-on perfumes!!This also comes with the option of a dip-stick or a roller ball. I hope I can keep the product clean using the wand. This fragrance layers well with some others I have tried.Overall, I do like this, and feel comfortable wearing it outside the home. It smells like it should have cost much more. It smells rich!! I do recommend it, but it's not for everyone. It's not something you're gonna find at typical American chain retailers. It is a different balance of fragrance than what we typically can buy here, so that's exotic...and a risk that it might not be appealing to everyone. Thankfully this has an excellent price, so go ahead and try it!!”
