Acumen Noir

I found by accident for a very decent price. It is amazing value for money. Very well blended and I believe it could be easyly sold for a tripple price. It starts quite loud and spicy with a bitter taste but settles down quite fast without vapouring out. In the begining it is very woody but plesently fresh as immediately citrus and lavender starts to play. It is very elegant and masculine. I can smell some tobacco and leather in. Pepper ads very nice aftertone to a woody note. Was wearing it for a cocktail party in England and received several compliments for this perfume. Same time it gave me a very cosy feeling and opened up itself very nicely in lighttly cool and freshly wet English weather at night. After smoking a cigar pepper, citrus and wood notes nicely mixed with a smoke smell and the perfume changed into sharp well blended sweet whiskey tone. Definately recommend it for those who looking for something different than is not worn by everyone arround.

Made in Belarus, a country which is under dictatorship. French components and russian oil is used to make these abominations, which are surprisingly ok in quality. Somewhat Creation Lamis quality - a bit intoxicating, bet wearable given low price - 10 15 Eur. I personally would rather chose a homage from La rive, BI ES, Fragluxe, Jfenzi. I owned a dupe of clinique happy from a same manufacturer. I was happy in the beginning, but disappointed later on as I found their parfumes to be intoxicating.
