Karus (formerly Numero I)

I ❤️ most frags with rose 🥀 so I may be biased. Received free (pay shipping only) discovery set from website w/coupon code (JUSTIN). Numero #1 was leaking so I tried it first. 😍! The Rum is a sexy boozy medium sweet mix with rose similar to Savior Faires Whiskey Rose. (Booze 🥃 and rose 🌹is a great combo much like Oud and rose go well together) & the rose is rich and full. Strong and smooth wraped with an incense like amber that gave it a middle eastern feel reminding me of Octavian from the house of Electimuss. It doesn’t have many notes but dosent need many as these work extremely well together. You can absolutely smell the quality at first spray and into the dry down as it sets close and cozy. After several full day wears I’m able to identify more of the notes ... It is absolutely stunningly beautiful. 🥰 I really like this. This will be my Christmas gift to myself. Unless they make a 10mL - THEN ITS AN IMMEDIATE PURCHASE

😍 it. I’m a BIG 🌹 fan and this Violet/ Rose/ Rum combo does not dissopoint. It’s priced more than I want to spend however Damn.. it’s nice! I go nose blind quickly and almost forget I have it on and an hour later it shows back up and I get wafts of it for the next several hours. On several occasions I’ve just picked up my sample and smelled it just to briefly enjoy. Of the 8 rose based fragrances I own this has immediately moved to tie 2nd place 🥰 & it could move to #1. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 time will tell. Get a sample set (#1, #2, & #3 ) and you’ll know what I mean. Numero 2 is a hot pick also. I’m waiting for Fall/Winter to wear Numero 3.

I have to say this is absolutely gorgeous,!! Very high quality and well blended perfume. Has good longevity 8 + hrs and starts a little strong but then settles down slowly into totally addictive luxury , warm and alluring profile of expensive chicness., projects well too but not in an offensive way. For me it’s definitely more feminine leaning , due to the dark rose element ( which shows how beautifully this is blended as I usually dislike fragrances with any rose I don’t get the rum as a standout note at all? everything just blends seamlessly in this stunning fragrance. The more I wear it , the more addictive I find it .!!

I just received a discovery set so this review is based on one spray alone. I really like it. So much so that this is my second review on this site. I would wear it in the same situations as PDM Layton. And I think I like it even more. My girlfriend loves the first sniff and Layton is not her favourite. It is nicely sweet, full bodied rounded and it keeps my attention. Next time I will do a full wearing and probably add to the review. At least longevity and sillage but I already have a feeling that it is very good.

Numero I is a captivating fragrance that transcends gender boundaries, making it a truly versatile and unique olfactory experience. It exudes an air of sophistication and confidence, capturing the essence of modernity with a perfect balance of boldness and subtlety. I find this a truly unisex fragrance, the rose, rum and violet makes this a captivating and alluring scent, that is both empowering and elegant. A must try!
