Viking Rio

Absolutely stunning! Its like BRE but darker/nuttier, without that medicinal/dentist feel. It has cacao but its not chocolaty, to me its reminescent of raw cacao pods somehow or maybe cacau nibs with toasted hazelnuts. Its sweet but not to the point of being overly feminine sweet, but it surely leans more feminine then masculine to me. Its long lasting and has a nice sillage, its not cloying or headache inducing. Its a perfume I will always repurchase and have on my collection for sure! As far as straight man that want to wear this, personally, as a woman, I would not enjoy smelling this on a dude.

It looks like fragrantica got the piramid notes again wrong. According with Bharara site the notes below: Top Notes: zesty bergamot and freshly cut grass. Heart Notes: plum, jasmine and rose petals. Base Notes: musk, moss, amber, tonka, sandalwood and vanilla.

This smells like a hybrid of BR540 and dry coconut cream. Although coconut is not in the notes, you can definitely smell it. If you overspray it reminds you of the kids bubbles that you dip and blow. The sillage Is OK at best and is definitely not strong, I would say it’s Moderate. But mind you I’m used to sillage monsters like Van Py Rhum, 40 Knots, Naxos, etc. Longevity is moderate as well which is disappointing because its supposed to be a parfum. This is a three times a day spray for long days, which works out perfect because it comes with a refillable decant. The smell is unique enough to spend less than $80 for it, anything higher than that is not worth it. I suggest spraying it on right before you enter where ever you're going, because every minute counts with this juice, lol.

What's with the notes on this one. I was looking for more Tribeca inspirations such as this but the notes from the official site have nothing to do with what's listed here.
