Quite Nice Bottle and Quite Nice Scent
******
4th May, 2024 - edited to say that now I have had this perfume for a few weeks it is smelling much more fruity and for longer, with vanilla/amber less pronounced. Is that me getting used to it or has it settled after travel through the postal system? (I've read others saying that these perfumes need to settle after posting). Anyway, nice.
***********
The bottle is quite chunky and large for a 15 ml perfume. It is a metal cage with a tubular shaped glass vessel inside with a nice glass dipping stick.
Of course I choose this one because of the purple bottle, and the pyramid of notes looked interesting.
This perfume reminds me of two others that I didn't really get along with. It's giving me a sense of a mixture of Wish by Chopard (which on me developed sweet, sweet, sweet, toffee like vanilla and a little stale) and Bakhour by Al Rehab (which developed a strident pith and rind fruityness and was astonishingly strong).
The fruits all come together in the beginning to give me a sugary pineapple (I know, not listed as a note) and after about 20 minutes I get a tinned peaches wiffly waffling underneath. I can't myself pull out individual citrus fruits or apple as there is a lot of vanillic amber from the get go.
I don't get much in the way of anything that reminds me of flowers although there is something that reminds me of Freesias but the vanillic amber really starts to swamp everything by the half hour mark.
Rather quickly this beds down into a super sweet, strong, musky, vanillic amber and underneath that lot I can't really discern any woody notes.
Overall I am getting a sweet, sweet, musky, fruity vanillic amber.
I actually do like it. It doesn't smell milky or dirty on my skin like the Wish did and isn't so sweet. It doesn't have the stridency that the Bakhour developed on me. It isn't leaving much of a trail, and isn't projecting much.
I wasn't expecting such a sweet base heavy perfume because there was such a nice list of flowers for the middle notes. Not what I was expecting but nice none the less.
