Smelled this during my first niche perfume adventure, and thought I hated it. Turns out I don’t! 😅 I think my brain shifted into fight or flight that day bc it was being assaulted by a f*ckton of smells it had never smelt, and hey this might be dangerous so put that down no no don’t pick up another one what is that it smells poisonous you should stop leave go go go wait sniff it again so peculiar I hate it hurry spray oh wow sexy happy suspicious maybe I should nope put it all down wtf omg I’m lost but I’m found and WHYYY ARE YOU GRABBING YOUR WALLET!?!?

    Would you say this is super close to Aventus? I heard they’re similar. Faces of Francis by this house is one of my favorites ever. It’s absolutely beautiful.

      LOVE Faces of Francis, it’s on my fb wishlist. To be honest, I haven’t (knowingly) smelled Aventus in years, but of what I can remember, there’s a hint of it.

      Replying to @frankie

      FoF is so good 😩 I tried it, loved it, and immediately bought the 20 ml bottle. When that’s done I’ll upgrade to the bigger one. I love that they sell the 20mls though. Wish more companies had smaller 20-30 ml bottles.
