Real noses, real opinions

Disappointed by this one. Very interesting smoky incensy vanilla start. However it becomes a skin scent almost immediately, which is kinda normal for Liis parfums, but what I don't like at all is the fact that it doesn't even take 10 minutes for the perfume to turn into a fairly generic smoky vanilla fragrance, where the frankincense all but disappeared. Still smells good, but a lot of perfumes do.

This perfume is essentially the same DNA as TdH. If you like that one, you will surely like this one. Basso feels lighter and brighter and has imo slightly better staying power than TdH. In the drydown it also feels distinctly more modern and more refined. For me, it lacks a little unique-ness but it's a good buy for anyone looking for a hot weather frag they can grab every day and can tolerate the higher pricepoint compared to the original. I'd categorize it as masculine-leaning, since it's so close to TdH.

Lovely incense that gets overshadowed by a very pleasant orange liquor. Fairly resinous, fairly expensive but good staying power and very unique. Maybe my favourite from the house.

My favourite smoky perfume I've ever tested. No birch tar, no barbeque notes, just clean hay and smoky mate. Somewhere in the background a little dry incense without becoming sharp. Fairly expensive, but haven't found anything similar since.
