I've been wearing this for quite a time now. Very gourmand scent with strong vanilla, chocolate, amber and a very subtle, faint patchouli base note. My father told me that I smell like a bakery when wearing it, so take that as you will. It does have a rubbery smell, but that is more on the top notes and it doesn't project that rubbery scent, projects more sweeter and gourmand caramel-vanilla blend. there's an amazing subtle oud-y middle note that starts coming out during the middle note projection. This is not a scent for everyone. It is very very sweet, syrupy note. It is very distinct. far far away from a "clean" smell. very overwhelming to some since it is not a nuanced scent and has only about 6 notes total, as most would agree. I'd suggest layering this with a leather/ spice perfume. 6/10

Strong Tobacco,Vanilla,Sweet spicy best combination

there's a very synthetic quality to the bottle i got - the main thing i pick up is thick, syrupy, sugary but badly done strawberry perfume; alongside that i can detect some subtle warm spicy, cinnamony notes which i really enjoy, and a smoky undertone which reminds me of Tobacco Vanille (and the smokiness in Lost Cherry a tiny bit too) but the medicinal sweetness overpowers and dims them out. it's a bit reminiscent of coke too, if it were boiled down to sugar and caramelised; it's not fresh spicy to my nose and i don't notice any vanilla in this, it's a lollipop kind of sweetness, not very creamy. in terms of longevity, it lasts for days on my skin, and the sillage is nice for about 5 hours. i used to layer it with Al Rehab Choco Musk and the vanilla rounded it out nicely for me, but i wouldn't reach out for this anymore.

This is a really interesting one. I have the dab on rather than an EDT which is very old fashioned. It reminds me a bit of Lush's I'm Home (which is astronomically priced since it was discontinued). The notes which come off are very chocolatey rather than caramel and so is a natural skin scent lasting a while on my skin. To be honest, with this one, i would layer it up with another EDT so it gives a chocolatey note - i can imagine this going well with a floral or coconut scent. I can't really smell much else beyond the hint of vanilla and musk. Id wear this when i'm going through phases of giving up coffee and need a hit to remind me of a mocha. the bottle is very pretty.

Glad I found this on here, bought it yesterday and couldn’t figure out what it reminded me of, 100% Lira by Xerjoff
