This is very hyped and I do not care for it. I tried to like a bottle, gave it away. I inherited a 20mL travel spray and I tried it again. No.

The smell:

Powdery rose with no personality. This is so fkking boring I cannot believe it. It is a soliflore, but unlike Nahema by Guerlain, Lyric Man by Amouage, or Nombre Noir by Shiseido (queen of roses) it has no agenda.

It has some fruity, some floral, some powder, some rose. Ok??? I don’t understand what is so thrilling about this. The honeysuckle is a lie (it’s an accord I can smell it) because you cannot extract aromachemicals from it but the aldehydes are there. Woo…

Worst rose fragrance from before 1990.

Bottom 25 in my collection.
