First, I get a full blast of aldehydes. I love that. Later, I get a light floral sweetness with incense. In the end, it is somehow creamy and clean. Longevity is also very good, at least 8 hours. Anyone who likes aldehydes should give it a try.

The perfume starts with a rose note on me, which however fades very quickly, and then I smell disgusting woody notes. I had to wash it off immediately.

At the beginning, I get a very sweet mandarin, and after a few minutes, the cocoa note appears. That is a great combination. After about half an hour, the sweet tuberose arrives. It stays, and then vanilla and woods are added. In the drydown, I only perceive sweet woods. I find the fragrance is well-balanced and lasts about 8 hours on me... on clothes until the next wash.

The fragrance starts off very pungent for me in the opening with the blood orange. But that only lasts for a few minutes. After that, it smells like a fizzy fresh Fanta on my skin. In the drydown, the citrus recedes a bit and woody notes are added. It still remains fresh nonetheless. It is an absolutely great summer scent. However, it is too masculine for me because of the woody notes. The longevity is mediocre. Elmar should do something about that.
