Cursed

Thank you to the people who let me know this was available to buy as a sample to try. I didn't expect to enjoy the opening notes as much as I did, especially after being kind of let down by my sample of Happy Nuts by BTSO. This one actually smelt heavily of nuts, but you can definitely smell the lemon and cannabis underneath it giving it a unique fresh+nutty opening, not a combination I had ever smelt before but Bruno made it work very well I think. The opening to me would almost work better in summer, it's a very "fresh" smell with a nutty twist. But ss it dries down it becomes the winter smell, very nutty, with some additional extras like the caramel, tobacco and vanilla, to give it more depth. One of the more unique perfumes I've smelt, but a good unique, not one of those ones that's designed to purposefully smell terrible or weird. Will have to save up to get a full bottle, though it's difficult because everything I've tried from Bruno so far as been exquisite and I want them all.

i would simply describe this perfume as freaky. the opening is crazy, but godly-executed; the nutty, citrusy, slightly funky from the cannabis opening is something i never thought would work but it's appealing and strangely addictive. once the initial buzz dies down, cacao and caramel come in and add sweetness and a touch of warmth—someone below described it as like a tootsie roll and i get it! the base is where everything comes together beautifully; the boozy, nutty and sweet notes blend seamlessly with the leather and woody elements to create a comforting and seductive aura. so so edible as Bruno puts it.

Warm sweet and interesting. I can smell the cinnamon and whatever other smells I'm getting are blended well with the cinnamon.

#1678 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this decant from scentsplit.com and turns out to be a praline style scent of which I already have a dozen or more. Bond No 9 “Tribeca”, Jo Milano “Game of Spades Royale”, Paco Rabanne “1 Million Lucky”, Bharara “Viking Rio”, Valentino “Valentino Uomo”, six or seven more. I don’t often wear any of them. With many of them, especially the sweet ones, they tend to smell like a ream of copier paper in the dry down, and that’s the case here. These kinds of scents either lean gourmand enough to come off feminine, or they come off like something for middle-aged men. The dry down of this one smells more like a Tootsie Roll ’s paper wrapper than the Tootsie Roll itself. I think a better scent in this vein, at a better price, is Theodore Kalotinis “Hazelnut Praline”, or at less than half this price is "Aimez Moi Comme Je Suis “ by Caron which leans a bit more fougere, more office appropriate (It’s unfortunately an EDT, but this Perucci really doesn’t perform any better). But that said, if I had it to do over, I’d pass on all scents of this kind. Smelling like the nut bins at Whole Foods just isn’t my idea of attractive. Not a bottle buy for me. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

received a very small sample of this in a profumix order. sniffed it without knowing anything about it in advance and without reviewing the notes. first impression is that it smells like a tootsie roll with spices in the background.
