Cupid's Kiss

Finally! A perfume that is on par with my best Iris fragrance in the collection. An Iris composition based on the real aroma of the bitter, acidic and pale concrete of orris butter away from the fictitious high velvety sweetness based on accords of roses and violets...very good by Rasquinet! Imagine a Dior Homme Parfum with its entire structure reinvented, with all its elements of an overflowing high quality with everything wilder and darker...that in short is Cupid's Kiss. The great detail is that it is not a perfume for everyone, its powdery dryness is very particular in addition to its spicy spicy beginning and given its originality I don't think it will be to everyone's taste, don't expect a nice cupid-style love story in. The oud accord is very much the woody/dry style that Provenzano uses in almost all his compositions, it does not bother, it pleases easily but it is not a great contribution either and the suede is a warm attempt to provide warmth and some sweetness to an all-in-one composition. You look distant, complex but above all very, VERY interesting. Iris fragrance lovers looking for something different to add to their collection, this dried leather wrapped in gently sweetened, vegetal and bitter aged orris butter will be a great addition to your collection.

I'm glad I own this. Honestly. You don't magically get younger 😆 things age. I am not happy about the price, but the main star here are the natural oils (apparently, but I'm sure some will bicker.) and the suede. If you can get this for 200$ it's like a more grown up DHI, IMO. less sweet (I wish there was a stone fruit in here somewhere.) and more clean then DHI, while also being animalistic. It is hard to pinpoint how this smells. Like a barber shop, covered in hair, but YOU aren't in the hair, your sitting on the suede couch waiting, for a GREAT haircut. The scent alone, il give a 7.5 but I vote based on the aura it gives, so meaning "crowd pleasing" ability. This isn't that. If you like manly, barber shop, but you are a BIT bored of it, this is very nice, and refreshing. Reminds me of something guerlain would of made in the 90s, to be honest.

Healing Spiritual Fragrance✨️🌿 Its labdanum, orris and immortelle notes have this resinous woody feel to it, that makes me feel like I'm enlightened with chruch incense. I would've thought the pink pepper and bergamot would create a sense of spunk to the perfume, but I did not sense it. I still love it, but it doesn't give me cupids kiss, but maybe along the lines of a healer's kiss. Super soothing for the soul, and I would do meditations with this perfume🧘♀️ I'd suggest Golestan Tauer extrait, if you want to have more of an ethereal feel. Zodiac Trio ⬆️Gemini☀️Saggitarius 🌙Leo

Scent of an English gent.. this is very much so in line with DHP. Maybe this isn't a hobby to you, and you wear for pleasure. This is a deeper, authentic DHP. more natural, more condensed, well blended DHP. not for faint of heart. Deep buttery orris root, charming suede, all paired with a woody, aromatic, almost green base. It's a wonderful smell when you realize what you have. I paid an arm and a leg, but I also got 4 10 ml samples and a great EL atomizer to go with it. Cheers.

I will say. This gets better with time, and is arguably the BEST cooler / fall autumn weather scent around. This stuff cuts through the air, floods the nostrils, and has the warmest butter smooth orris suede combo I've smelled in a while.. solid 9.5 / 10 for cooler weather
