So this is obviously comparable to 1 Million Lucky because it is an inspiration on it, but I sometimes feel like it has a tiny bit of a Stronger With You (original) vibe and I also sometimes get a very slight whiff of something darker, slightly medicinal and sweet vibe, that reminds me of formulas that are heavy on Ethyl-Maltol and woody notes like the gris charnel styled DNA.

But overall the backbone in this perfume is a designer-esque sweetness that's very well blended with a lot of woody notes, spicy notes and a slight fruity & citrus combo in the opening that turns into a more patchouli forward sweetness during it's duration and finally in the dry-down you mostly get a sweet, creamy wood aroma.

This for me paints the picture of someone who's at the club but not with a super bold attitude, doesn't look to call attention but definitely has some attraction power to them, mostly masculine vibes, well-dressed and definitely in his 20s-30s, I don't see this as 40+, it's not mature per se, but it's also not super young.

The notes I detect the most are: Pineapple and a spice blend in the opening, mostly cardamom and cinnamon, vanilla and patchouli in the mid dry-down and slightly caramel dipped woods in the dry-down, which are actually always there but really shine in the dry-down.

For me this is meant for night-time during summer and a daily-driver for fall & winter, it has a sort of playful and flirty vibe so it's perfect for night-outs, clubs, parties, etc. but I don't think it's not fitting for work since it's also not sickly sweet or too strong IMO, and while it does project fairly strong, it hits your nose in a very velvety way, so I don't think it really "bothers" noses.

I personally rate this an 8.5/10, it's my current favorite designer styled perfume, so insanely easy to wear and super mass-appealing.

      Lemon, blood orange syrup and a guava/pineapple home-made sauce, it's so good.
