Drunk Lovers

I’m going to wait to write my full review, but I wanted to give my initial thoughts until I have my full bottle... Wow! This is an absolutely beautiful unique fragrance. I’m going to wait to call this a masterpiece until I can test the sillage and longevity, but it’s on the verge of being a signature scent. I absolutely hate overly feminine or masculine fragrances - there’s something so off putting about overly gendered fragrance. Unisex fragrances have my heart and I’m always on the search. Drunk Lovers from BTSO, a South Korean fragrance house, is exactly in the center on the spectrum. Super androgynous and sexy. Something you’d smell at the bar and be like... “Is that a man or a woman wearing that because I want to take them both home?!” I found this fragrance on TikTok from a video called “Hoochie Daddy Fragrances” from Sniff with Steph. She described this perfectly - imagine a really sexy man and a really sexy woman leaving a classy cocktail lounge and fooling around on the couch. There’s something feminine and masculine blended with cognac and bad decisions from a night out that makes this so sexy. This is pure drunken androgyny.

I ordered a few samples from this line, Drunk Lovers being one of them. This on a man would make me press myself into him and softly glide my nose around on his skin to find the source. It opens masculine but not so much so a woman couldn't wear this. It starts to turn into something that would make me want the wearer to wrap their arms around me and press their warmth down on me. I would wear it but the opening is more masculine leaning than I am looking for in a fragrance. I know scents behave different on everyone and this is how the DL developed on my skin. I would spray it on myself while I'm wearing just one of his shirts around because he is out of town and I'm missing him and yearning for him. Sigh. I see comparisons to Polo and other inoffensive, easy, pleasing male fragrances but to my nose it is deeper (not in a dark way) and more complex and has a sensual element to it. It's a love for me although not a love on me.

First Impression - Spicebomb Infrared EDT + Ultra Male with pieces of Polo Red minus the coffee and a heavy dose of vanilla. It's insanely good. I don't have any clue why people are saying SWY and Althair, this is not that. It's incredible though, like 10/10 for my style. It's a sweet red fruit cranberry cotton candy-ish top with a resinous, spicy and very faint pale woods background, as well as all that vanilla. Very mass appealing but unique. Definitely check this out if you like Infrared, Ultra Male, Born in Roma Coral Fantasy, Polo Red and vanilla style frags. unisex but leans a bit masculine. More Fall/Winter but wouldn't be super offensive in warmer weather. overall-very sweet & spicy cranberry cotton candy with a warm vanilla-y background

This fragrance is simply amazing! I am never complimented at work about my perfumes, but I wore this to work for the first time today and my co-worker was like, "what is that great smell?" I told her that I hoped it was me. She loved it! To be honest, it starts off a little masculine, but it quickly dries down to something fruity to my nose. It's one of those scents that I can't stop smelling my wrist. I can't recommend it enough. I see the comparisons listed and I don't disagree with any of them, but I added Donna Karan Cashmere & Palo Santo. It has this woody fruitiness that reminds me of it. This would be a year-round fragrance in my mind.

Finally tested BTSO for the first time. I never knew sephora had it. I immediately went to indecent cherry because i always wanted to smell it and honestly ...i was so disappointed, idk why i had high expectations for it i thought it would be similar to lost cherry but i was hella wrong. Anyways i smelled drunk lovers and i was IMPRESSED. Its so sexyyyyy. I tested it on my skin and Ive been sniffing my arms throughout the mall like a tweaker. On me It’s very vanilla-ish but it’s a grown up kind of vanilla. It’s very sophisticated and sexy. I can see myself layering it with a more dark patchouli based perfume on a winter night.
