Mykonos Sunset

This is very much in the space of Rifaaqat Paris Corner, or Babycat, but the oils aren't nearly as good as the YSL's version. This is very nice, and is a fall/winter frag, and more suited towards evening. I love the leather note in here, it comes off animalistic, but in a good way. It's a very raw leather note to me, and its beautiful. I would say this is a much more complex Fragrance than those that I mentioned though. I find HooperG's review to be inaccurate, but this Fragrance thing is so subjective. I can see where he's coming from with the lipstick comparison, but it's so much more than that. I respect his review, as this frag is not for everyone. I tend to think it's very nice, but not signature worthy, but I have 250 different things to choose from. This is where I would differ from Just the Facts Man, I would not make this my scent. I would put it up there in frags that I really like, and would reach for in the evening, as I find it very comforting. Anyway, this had very good performance, and decent projection, and lasts a good amount of time. If you're a fan of Babycat type scents, you'll love this one. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (9/10) Beautiful. Only loses a point because it's not an all season frag... I love this stuff. This is worth much more that they are asking for this.

#833 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This may be my new "signature scent." When I smelled a decant of Thameen's "Nassak" I thought, "If not for all the rose I'd definitely wear this." Well here it is. This is the first to arrive of the five Destino scents I have ordered. A blind buy of a fragrance that is all but unknown entails some risk, but I am so glad I did. What an absolute find! This scent is fabulous. Lotsa leather, tonka and ambergris. Slightly sweetened by the toffee. Slightly floral from the saffron. Slightly musky. Woody, balsamic quality. Leather and saffron are predominant in the dry down. Slightly more male than unisex to me because there is a hint of barbershop going here that moves this toward the masculine side. All day longevity (eight hours and no sign of fading), very strong sillage. And this stuff is an absolute steal! Got it from Jomashop for $33! Kind of a sweeter, muskier Lattafa "Qa-ed Al Shabab". Car pool, elevator, small office safe. Nice date wear. Can't imagine it will stay this affordable if word gets out. Absolutely a safe blind buy! Can't wait for the rest of the line to arrive!

Mykonos Sunset Destino Paris This perfume is a captivating blend of saffron, leather, powder, Tonka bean, and toffee that creates a sophisticated and intriguing fragrance. The saffron, often associated with a warm, spicy aroma, is expertly transformed into a rich, leathery base. This unexpected twist adds a touch of ruggedness to the overall scent. The powdery notes complement the leather beautifully, providing a soft and velvety texture that balances the intensity of the saffron. In the middle to base, the Tonka bean emerges with a tobacco feel, adding a smoky and earthy dimension to the fragrance. The touch of toffee adds a touch of sweetness, balancing out the more masculine notes. Overall, this perfume is a complex and intriguing blend that is sure to please those who appreciate unique and sophisticated fragrances.

I picked this up on Joma Shop for $33, (when normally it's $130) based upon JusttheFactsMan's review. The notes look like something that would be in my wheelhouse, and I'm starting to wonder if this is going to be discontinued, judging by only one retailer is selling it, and it's $100 off retail. I'd say it's a good blind buy if the notes are what I like, and judging by the guy under me with 833 fragrance reviews, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. I'll be reporting back after I get this.

Love this DNA. So warm and cozy, seductive. It does remind me of Ameer Lattafa. Smoother, not as screechy as they are. I have decants of YSL Babycat and I can see how people call them similar. I've never gotten my nose on Rosendo No 5, but now I want to more than ever. I just don't believe in rewarding companies like YSL when they jack up the prices and create artificial scarcity.
