Libertine

Wow, this is one of the most unique and interesting fragrances I've ever tried and I've tried hundreds. This fragrance is simply art. I had no idea what it smelled like before I looked at the notes. This has an incredible charisma about it. If you're a leader or just an ambitious person, this could be a great signature scent. Very well-balanced and has a little bit of everything. It's slightly powdery, ambery, musky, woody and sweet at the same time and it doesn't lean into any of those too much. One of the most complex fragrances in my collection. Cedar is not listed specifically, but I smell a very strong cedar note in this similar to what is in Royal Oud by Creed. The beeswax and rose are the most noticeable after looking at the notes, but without looking I would've never guessed, that is how well-blended this is. It smells like a memorable and charismatic character from a movie, there's nothing generic about it. This is very masculine IMO and perfect for more mature men and/or men who have a classy/elegant style. I'm in my late 20s, but I'll be rocking this confidently with the right outfit. This seems like a very strong and intense fragrance and if you smell it up close on the skin you could potentially get a headache. I imagine this is amazing when smelled in the air though because of how distinct, unique, but pleasant it is. 9/10

i like this fragrance very much. it first reminded me of le labo's the noir, but i have had them all day on my wrists to compare them and actually they are not that similar. i have always thought the noir smells of a dark rose with black honeyed tea and a bit boozy, even though rose is not listed. libertine is a dark rose too on me, a little bit sweeter in the honey note than the noir, woody and definitely a bit boozy, but without that prominent hay note that the noir has. libertine doesn't smell too cuminy, it is nice and spicy though, and just so good (and not like that soapy mess that is le labo's rose 31, for example). i have had it on for 8h now, it became a very sexy skin scent after 4-5h, and i still can smell it. so i am quite happy about perfomance (the noir on the other arm has been stronger all the way through). this is definitely very sexy and appealing. have come back to the sample several times since i have received it, and found myself really wanting it. nice one! edit: bought a FB and finding the bitter orange opening way stronger than from the sample. overall i adore this fragrance. and it doesn't remind me on the noir anymore. lol

Wow! Fabulous. A bright, rich citrusy opening. OK, a touch Pledge but only a touch. A bit waxy, a bit leathery with some cedarwood adding gravitas in the base. I don't get much cognac on my vegetarian skin. Not much rose either. Yes, there is a gentle, warm, honeyed orange blossom sweetness that is intoxicating and sexy. A bit musky on kissable skin. Oh yeah....if you want someone to move in a lot closer then this delectable scent should do it. Its not perfume but sexy, honeyed skin. Not bad longevity or sillage. Great price point and presentation to.

Got virtuous, and this layers with it. Was really keen to try it as I love virtuous so much so I got the 2ml - it packs a punch that's for sure. Really sexy, feel like it's a rose for men or women. Normally not into layering and all that, but it really really goes well so I think I'm going to buy their little travel pens so I can play around with it. At this rate I think I might as well buy the discovery set, I've heard a lot about devious and that it's better than Tom Ford's lost cherry. Let's see.

Unusual, complex, erotic and absolutely beautiful! The initial opening is light, fresh and orangery, this fades quickly and the underlying notes of beeswax and spice come through; the spicy note reminded me of a new lead pencil. Everything then turns dark, warm and smoky as the rose comes through. This is not summer garden floral rose but a dark red rose crushed and discarded next to a china bowl of oranges in a darkened room lit only by a crackling, sparking log fire.
