Jump up and Kiss Me Hedonistic

I love many things about this fragrance. Not so much the longevity. I get a lovely cardamom and lavender throughout its whole duration, none of which is on the list, so maybe that's rather the Clary Sage. Otherwise, at first I get fruity, green, herbal. Then, for a while, it smells like an assortment of popular ladies' perfumes. Like I've gone to a social dance party, and I've picked up a mix of the scents of a number of different lovely ladies I've hugged or danced with, who all smelled really good. Oddly, I greatly enjoy that part, and it still manages to feel masculine somehow. That passes, and it becomes a very masculine amber, leather, vanilla. After several initial sprays, it lasts for a few hours, 3 or 4 for me. Well, it leaves a bit of a skin scent, hardly noticeable. If it were La Nuit de l'Homme, or something like that, no problem, I'd just respray it 2 or 3 times per day, and I'd be really happy with it. But in this price range here, I'd expect it to be around for a day or so, as with several other Clive Christian perfumes. Do I go nose blind to it? I don't know, I'll have to try a few more times, and see if anybody else can smell it. Btw, the notes listed on the top here are totally incomplete. This is what the Clive Christian site says: "This is a woody oriental fragrance with Gourmand, fruity and narcotic notes. It starts with a citrus accord of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Neroli, combined with a fruity herbal green accord of black cherry, and Clary Sage. It is followed by Jasmine in the heart with notes of Orris, Tobacco and Papyrus to give sensuality and depth. The base is an oriental woody style, rich with Ambers, smoky leather and rich resinous Labdanum, sweetened with a touch of Tonka and Vanilla."

As someone who is new to testing niche/higher end fragrances... my knowledge is very limited. So my references may be off or be very simple. There's a bit of woodiness I can smell if I think about it. It's really good. I am going to keep testing it to see if it's just the opening that I'm getting that from, or if that's just how it is. This suspicion comes from the fact that it smells different when I smell the atomizer after I sprayed it. On clothes it still smells like a certain laundry detergent/dryer sheet mixture. So good. I need a full bottle. It lasts a pretty long time, too. I do like it.

Finally got my nose on this; smells like Blonde Amber infused with smoky leather, a little less gourmand but not by too much, gets woodier as it dries on my skin. It smells wonderful on my skin but it doesn't go above arms' length, but it's still there humming. I'll be on the lookout for discount sellers for a bottle.

Incredible scent but the price is just nuts! The notes pyramid in this site is wrong... I do have decants at a great price if you want to find out what this smells like.

Hear me out, I swear there is something about this that keeps reminding me of Prada L’homme Intense which I love.
