Couture 3

The crimes I'd foment and commit for this😅Couture 3 is about smelling mysterious and luxuriously mystically sensual. A few dabs on my wrists and collarbones are enough for a perfect day or evening, during any season. Its mesmerizing effects last for hours on me. The notes description up top are fair, but I smell other notes like liquorice. To the main accords I would add 'velvety sweet powder smoke' and '50s vintage bi-fold leather wallet from Morocco that has been stored in a wooden drawer next to tobacco'. It's got a 'vintage band-aid' scent to it too, and if you enjoy medicinal effusions, you'll probably dig it.

What a hidden gem this is. Got a sample from Fragrancenet. Very unisex....sort of chypre in the dry down. Vintage/old school classic vibe scent. I somehow get some "booziness" also...???....and cardamom/cinnamon .....a dry rose....pepper/pimento vibe...green....and I get tobacco and slightly smokey too. Just my type of scent. Ok....I do wish it lasted longer on the skin....but samples...in my experience...IMO....sometimes don't compare fuully to the actual spray full bottle. So....I found some on eBay....0.85 oz spray....I got 2 !!! LOVE it.

Ew! I'm a sandal person, and it is not for sandal people, that is for sure! It is all about apple blossom on me! Ew!! I can detect cardamom, black pepper and pimento, but it all comes back to apple blossom. The staying power is enormous!! I sprayed it at 2 pm, next morning 11 am it was still there, this apple blossom was...Ew. Update. It is September now, and this juice is not that bad this time. The first notes for me are ginger and cardamom this time of year, thank God! Then goes the darn blossom. Bergamot and cinnamon are behind all others mentioned above. The drydown is rose-vanilla on me. This perfume's lasted good 6 hours on me.

This is a very inexpensive perfume for sandal lovers. It is slightly feminine, but could be a unisex fragrance, with just the tiniest amount of spice and flowers to give it a little more complexity. I really enjoy wearing it almost as much as my green fragrances; it is warmer but still pure sandalwood. It screams fresh. I'd definitely recommend for sandal lovers, or those who want to try the "almost" one note perfumes so popular with the astronomically expensive niche perfumeries. I've tried layering this with more florals and more spice, but it is much better left just as it is, simple and fresh.

This perfume also has good longevity and sillage on me, and that is really rare.
