Agarwood Collection Passionate

This is a truly special perfume (and it wants to be for the price!) I'm still in shock at how much i spent on this but when i went shopping for a gift for my mum and came upon this brand id never herd of before, and in particular this fragrance, it was a real WOW moment. The main smell that hits you straight away is a honey smell, not in a horribly sickly way, and i wouldn't even describe it as sweet (well, a bit) but its very spicy! Feminine but i've worn it on the odd occasion and get a real unisex vibe from it, if you like a sweeter smell. The most amazing thing about all of the fragrances from this brand are the fact than you can have the perfume on all day and still smell new notes in it! This is a real investment so if you are a fan of this brand (and i strongly recommend you check them out) i believe they do little travel spray versions, that are still very expensive but not as much as the full size bottles! If i ever win the lottery i will bathe in this stuff because its just so god damn beautiful! Sweet but not sickly, and still a surprise every time you wear it! Needless to say my mum nearly died when she smelled it (in a good way) and if you have some/a lot of extra money to spare and are a fan on luxury, and believe me this is about as luxury as it gets, you must check this brand and this fragrance (my favourite) out! 11/10 ***********

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of this before it became discontinued. I got the tester not even one in a box and was thrilled to get that. It smells so good to me. The best honey smelling fruit that I have ever smelled. Love it from start to finish. It lasts forever on me. I also have intense from this brand which is similar but much lighter and less intense. I am forever on the lookout for a backup bottle so if anyone does not like theirs than call me.

Life giving fruit? From a wearer of Aventus, I can certainly testify that claim is well off the mark and sadly for me the whole lightness and airyness of this scent was a huge disappointment. Just an airy, non-syrupy honey. It's an airy and fleeting one imbued with maybe some yellow floral or lily. Replacing the 'fruity notes' with 'floral honey' would have been much more accurate. Where are the resins? There's little to nothing representing a warmish amber/resinous element here. It's pleasant but I was expecting bold and effervescent, intoxicating and bewitchingly natural. This scent is none of these, apart from just natural and sadly for me that falls far short. Edit: sorry, now i understand - the strange floral honey could also be their 'dragon's blood resin' which explains why i thought I was not getting any 'resins' - this appears to be a different type derived from this special plant. It has to be said however - and by no means lightly, that this is a remarkable House. Xerjoff (and the like, ahem, £450 Roja) for me are simply a plain amateur when looking through what Boadecia uses for their wares; rare and precious resins and very regal, choice yet flamboyant compositions that, while many are just not for me - all are totally luxurious and refined. Let no one be fooling you on the Quality disparity bewteen those so called 'ultra Niches' and this House. The grade of materials in their Least expensive, 'entry level' wares I'd say easily match the finest ultra-Niche offerings; no mean feat at a little over a 1/3 of the price! Strangely enough this House also has it's Ultra 'Gold plating' line - and they're pricey!! It's really remarkable the work they're doing. Sadly this one is again way off the mark for tastes but it oozes their signature pristine aura of a bygone age, yet passed off with so much flair and a touch of 'modern'. The one I do like, no, love; Monarch is simply one of the Finest scents I've ever tried - one of their 'safees' too with a modern grapefruit and delicious red berries top. Glorious is also a good entry level 'try me', especially for women. Scent: 4/10. Quality: 9/10.
