Bilbao (Ane Ayo)

Not sure why this is rated so poorly, it's a pretty good scent and doesn't really remind me of anything else. Maybe tempo 15-20% at the most, and 5-10% Kilian Intoxicated. The opening lavender, citrus, coffee, patch combo comes together on my skin to give me an opening black currant vibe. Very nice. The Liatrix is an interesting firmenich compound that is said to smell as vanilla, tobacco, and tonka. It comes through clearly and I get those notes. There's some spicy cardamom here as the person below mentioned, . It's a nice scent for cool or cold temperatures. I'm not really a guy that wears a lot of coffee fragrances, but this one isn't bad. Scent 67/100 Performance 75/100

too much going on in this; not awful, but weird

Dark bakers chocolate, nutmeg, patchouli, pepper skin, hint of peppery cardamom. Pleasant semi-gourmand. Like sweet bread sprinked with dark chocolate, almost croissant-like but with a bitterness that balanced the thing up. Soft, sweet but a bit flat. Edit: I knew it would say "coffee" in the notes list, it does not smell like coffee. Powdery cacao if anything.

For some reason, this smells like vodka on the rocks, from killian... I do detect the coffee notes but as soon as they dissipate, i can only smell the aldehydes.

I have a 1.5 ml, unopened sample for swap or sale in the EU. (Or the whole discovery kit)
