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!

Very playful, pleasant and a totally new approach for me. Positively surprised by this wonderful twist. At first sniff, I and II were somewhat similar, I would say. Later, both develop and each goes in its own direction.Perfect. I love that game with the notes. Very well made and worth trying for sure. Highly recommended people!

I love my Dior Homme Parfum, but this one has me in a chokehold. It is a niche DHP with a bit more of a feminine feel. Totally unisex. The packaging is solid and the bottle is more substantial than the picture expresses. They sent me samples of IV and V. Numero IV arrives next week lol.

This is really good. Beautifully blended and crafted. It’s blended so well, that it’s hard to pick out specific note, but just works. Definitely a unisex option. Rating 8/10.

Really cozy and powerfull scent. There is no rose on the official notes breakdown description. There is Pink pepper at the oppening. A beautiful pink pepper note, Bth...💞

Fabulous fragrance. I love how this smells, and this is quite long lasting. Lengthier addition coming when I finish the sample.

So many varied opinions but I really love this. I get a powdery & woody violet opening then the dry down gets slight rum & raspberry but the powderiness stays throughout. Its beautiful.

This is really good. Like reeeaaally good. It is just way too expensive. Maybe if they made a 30ml bottle, I'd buy it. But boy is this good.

Dior homme parfum ün az performanslı olanı. Koku çok güzel ama özgün değil. Kalıcı da değil. Dior varken alınır mı? Tercih sizin

Numero uno is a more youthful take on portrait of a lady with warm boozy notes

An old-fashioned powder (probably the rose and violet duo is the cause of this), a perfume with fruity-sweet but also dark sides, feeling slightly chocolatey and leathery. Warm and sweet. Violet and I don't really get along, and it couldn't catch me in this one either. There's an unfinished feeling in this scent, like a cat that shows itself in the doorway then suddenly darts back and disappears. You run after it but the cat is gone. Or was it an illusion? A strange, sharp and alcohol-like feel... If this alcohol feel is rum, in the other rums I've smelled I didn't feel like I was smelling the alcohol itself like this. I could pick up its burning warmth. Here even though there's warmth, there's no burn, I hope I got that across... I'd liked Numero II, but I couldn't love this one. The drydown is a dark chocolatey powder. I'm aware chocolate isn't listed, it's probably the patchouli giving me this. Tag(s): unfinished feel, old fashioned powder, violets, alcohol, fruity

Yeah ok so I kind of agree with the commenter below me. Out of the three I've sampled, this is actually my favourite, but still found it very underwhelming. It doesn't feel finished to me, it feels rushed, almost like he had some accords ready to go and threw together. Reminiscent of Cupid's Kiss with it's patchouli and powder. I can see why it has a following, but yeah, not for me.

This is not a rose heavy juice. Fruity nuances are there and I cannot pick out any specific fruits. It goes into a woody musky skin scent on me at the 4th hour. It's quite linear. A nice fragrance but not a love.

Its plastic play doh on me😳 Really not my scent profile.

This is a mediocre, ready for mainstream fruity violet with all the usual performance-boosting ingredients to satisfy the attention-seeker fragrance-wearing sect. It's completely devoid of nuance, zero naturalism, and has a slug of Clearwood "patchouli" lacking any structure or spirit. I would expect nothing less from Christian Provenzano.

To me, it smelled like a non-fresh 40 Knots. I also agree with the comment below that it feels like something is unfinished or missing in the fragrance.

Numero I First impression: As the notes say, it's about the queen of flowers, Rose ... It captivates, plays, and reveals. The perfume is excellent, masterfully balanced. I can smell a lovely rose, rum, patchouli, and raspberry on a wooden base. The fragrance sits close to the skin and lasts about 3-6 hours. Noble, beautiful, and refined. It is appropriate in any season, except for the heat. I really liked Adamo number l Then, in my opinion, this fragrance needs to be understood and experienced to fully appreciate this 🌹 I love alcoholic roses, and this is a very good example. Sweet luxurious rose with soft patchouli soaked in rum. Raspberry adds a bit of acidity, but the aroma itself is soft and sweet. Cedar in the base from the pyramid will immediately affect aromatic scent and give the composition more depth. This is a lovely, wearable unisex fragrance. As you wear, the further you go, the better and cozier it gets. Relaxed, not overwhelming. Even though roses become lighter, patchouli is also at its best here. The durability is great, nothing to complain about. The fragrance is very good, I recommend trying a sample and seeing if this is your Rose 🌹

I as well got the sample set of Adamo fragrances from Justin Copelands video. I’m very happy I took a chance on this house because right off the bat, you can tell these are high quality scents. The accords of rose and rum really blend well together, offering a nice balanced and dark take on a rose fragrance. I don’t get anything cloying in the air, the opening is pretty strong, but not offensive. The floral note is gentle and I do get that refreshing raspberry that plays really well with the rum accord as well. The powdery notes are not prevalent, it adds a nice touch to not really have the fragrance reverberate aggressively off the skin, it’s really there for balance. I really like this offering from Adamo, and honestly, at the price point their bottles are at, this is high quality stuff that’s affordable. This can be put into a weekly rotation or even saved for occasions. I recommend this one, and put it at 8/10.

This is a mature fragrance, like very mature. So don’t expect any playfulness This is a very boozy fragrance, very boozy and medicinal if you are Chinese you know exactly what I’m talking about, reminds you of those traditional Chinese medicine. But it fades away after awhile and loses its medicinal properties. After the initial spray the booziness takes a step back and evolves into a Dior homme esque perfume, a powdery floral type. After that the raspberry and rose comes out, you can barely detect it but they definitely peak their heads out, and they give this fragrance an almost cola vibe or some kind of dark soft drink. After that is where the ambre nuit resemblence comes in. Extremely interesting fragrance, evolves a lot.

I truly appreciate the unisex balance in this fragrance. There is rose, violet, booziness, and woods...all of which keep it from going too far in one direction or another. The fruit adds just the right amount of sweetness. I really get a TF type of DNA, the rose reminding me of rose prick and the violet reminding me of ombre leather, both of which I love. If you enjoy either of those you may like this.

This will become my signature boozy rose with powdery violet nuances. The moment you spray it you know it’s a special one. Not only full bottle worthy unisex boozy floral fragrance with a slight delicious hint, but also a signature worthy fragrance. Don’t hesitate to try it out. (A discovery set was sent to me, but it’s my own genuine opinion)

A stunning warm amber rose fragrance, so beautifully blended. The violet note is a powdery but not overpowering. Just simply one of the most senual and elegant fragrances on the market. Perfectly unisex but on my skin and to the people smelling it on me, it comes across more suited to a man, a major compliment getter, need bottle asap

Notes correction: On Adamo's website, they list "baie rose" which is pink pepper in French, not rose. Gorgeous perfume. Shimmering pink pepper and iris, raspberries soaked in rum and a deep, woody patchouli base.

Very pleasant, clean rose. Ambre Nuit, however, is the superior and better executed version of this.
