Cuir d'Encens

OK I misjudge it. Yes, it's not a groundbreaking fragrance, yes, the opening is so common but the drydown is beautiful and it's the strongest citrus scent I've ever experienced. This is why I bought it today. You don't need it though. There are numerous other good citrus scents. But if you can afford it and want a citrus scent with great longevity give it a try. Update The bottle is nice and looks beautiful on shelf although it's not so easy to hold it and spray. It also comes with a card of authenticity and a nice soft shinning cloth for the bottle! The box looks nice. Black, glossy, fake croco pattern but the plastic plaket which has the logo of the house fell off the moment I hold it on my hands. Just hold it nothing violent thing. Cheap glue? After all it's a 385 usd fragrance wtf. Anyway, no complains. The scent is wonderful. Update After 6 full wearings I can say with confidence that this scent is all about honeyed citrus. A very aromatic honey aura wraps everything giving a very elegant vibe. This is not the sporty citrus vibe that all citrus based scents give. It's a classy summer scent. This scent reminds me the south of France, golf club, polo shirt, bespoked linen suit, a classic Aston Martin DB5, Jaguar XK 120 cabrio, RR Corniche of the 70' etc.. refined vibe, beautiful.

This is a very pleasant versatile and safe scent for daytime and warm weather but also extremelly generic. It could be a release from Kenzo, Guerlain or a high-end CK this is the vibe I get. It feels youthful and vivid and it's quite uplifting. It's a sub-sweet citrus with a soft honeyed background and faint cinnamon. There is no oud here not even traces. Dominant notes are very smooth tonka beans which give to the blend a refined light sweetness, strong dominant bergamot, mild and noticeably soft honey and faint cinnamon. As time passes I also get amber, faint vanilla and nutmeg. Sillage and projection are both moderate. Longevity is abive average but still moderate. Verdict. Pleasant, versatile warm weather scent but very generic. I've smelt this before in some affordable designer scents.

Unless this juice was blessed by the Pope, I am not buying a $600 perfume.
