Pho Breakfast

its what's pho breakfast this is so good - most 1:1 pho fragrance I've tried so far. all the right notes are there, opens with the bowl -aquatic and spicy then you get the bean sprout cilantro lime plate wonderfulness knowingly disliking cilantro, then coming to the cilantro scent to rate it poorly cause it smells like cilantro is kind of genuinely ridiculous behavior, and I'm very pro"there's no bad perfume review scent is abstract and subjective" but lets be real guys jeez lmao and I REALLY do NOT get any sort of "horrible amber musk wood etc" base at all and my skin pulls those to the top of things to ruin them very often so Im going to be honest - I think there are a lot of contrarian reviews for this that are neg in some way to just be different tbh! back to scent, this doesn't evoke pho it straight up smells like it this is a good scent that achieves what it sets out to do! its well executed and gimmicky and fun! I do not understand the negativity. If you love pho and have common sense this is blind buy friendly

Finally a herbaceous, citrusy warm weather scent that seems to last on my skin! If you're worried about this scent being too savory, don't, this is super herbal and aromatic. My nose skips right past the star anise (a good thing for me), and straight to lots of cilantro, cardamom and basil with a lovely strong ginger note and a pop of citrus. I've worn my sample three days in a row and a full bottle is now at the top of my wishlist. As someone who lives in a very warm climate, Pho Breakfast is probably going to turn into a summer staple for me. In my collection, Pho Breakfast would sit between Mandarin Basilic, which I love for its freshness but wish it had more heft to actually last, and Escentric 04, which lasts forever but turns woody after the big punchy green and grapefruit opening and can feel heavy in hot weather.

This is a gorgeous ginger and herb-centered fragrance, done in the colognia structural format. Ginger, basil and cardamom immediately upon the spray and it veers citrus-like without being sporty. I would never consider this a gourmand in the classic sense. The herbaceous nature of it keeps it so interesting; it’s been a while since a fragrance surprised me in a happy way. It becomes sweeter with the patchouli in the dry down but definitely a more assertive herb-forward scent. This might be the strongest of the line (sniffed the discovery set) and the packaging is unreal— very lux. Bravo to all facets of this.

oh this is just gorgeous. I get green, spicy, orange. the orange honestly dominates pretty heavily, but it plays so nicely with the cilantro and basil it becomes this amazing new unique scent. my only problem is it gets weak pretty quickly. I think it lasts a while, but definitely becomes less green and settles at a muted, woody orange. but it's still LOVELY and I would love to smell like a woody orange for a long time ! I could see this being signature scent material honestly edit: the longer it sits, it smells like a hot guy. idk how else to put it. this is def gonna become a regular rotation

This opens up so realistic smelling of coriander, basil, lime and ginger. Its like you are cutting up herbs to top off your pho. But the savory part of pho simply isnt there. I wish it was a bit more "savory" smelling. Eventho its just herbal and fresh its a really nice soothing scent to me. Sadly after about an hour or so it turns into a pretty generic freshie. Which i found to be really dissapointing. I wished the opening notes stayed for a longer time. Only for that reason i will never buy a full bottle, because i simply cant justify a €160 scent if i gotta reapply it a couple of time a day.
