Miranda

Came upon a good deal on Miranda, so I bought it blind. It is indeed much better and smoother than anything I’ve ever tested by Montale or Mancerra, two brands that don’t work with my chemistry. I also think there is a connection to the original Lancôme Oud Bouquet—which also didn’t work on my skin—but again, Miranda is much smoother and easier to wear. Both Miranda and Oud Bouquet look so different on paper, sharing only Rose and vanilla (at least what was disclosed) that I can’t pinpoint what makes it similar, I just know they are cousins. If you are fans of the above, I believe you’d like Miranda too. Miranda is still heavier and sweeter than I normally wear. I think I’m picking up the anise and licorice, and I know I’m smelling the sugar. I definitely connect with this scent being a “dessert gourmand” although more complex due to all the additional notes. I’m not sure I will keep it, I do like it but not a love. I have a feeling the majority of people, especially fans of Oud Bouquet would love it. Major performance and projection, filling a room with two sprays. (I can’t imagine who is voting this as weak or intimate?) Cold weather only scent, this would be overpowering in heat. PS: the bottle is obviously high quality.....maybe it’s just me, but the cap reminds me of a butt plug. Once you see it, it’s impossible to not make the connection.

Fragile Gourmand-ish. Sweet yet bitter choco-vanilla with bits of anise for the bitter side. It doesn't have that milky note to make it a gourmand as it has hileptrope, sugar, sandalwood, and ambergris base. This brand is quite impressive as I remember I keep on seeing its bottles on the shelves of fragrances store but I didn't bother to try them out like I did today! I was mistaken cause i thought they were quite commercial but it turned to be quite impressive and very subtle. Impressive.

This smells amazing!! to me, this smells EXACTLY like real boozy chocolates. and, it does share a lot of similarities with intense cafe but still has something buttery I don't notice in IC. there, done with my review 😁 sweet, boozy, thick, sexy, and intoxicating! Also, this smells amazing on a man (its sexiness expands its gift to everyone ❤) performance: above average (and gets a massive boost in the heat)

It’s a nice radiant jasmine with soft powdery and lipstick-y iris and a tiny bit of citrusy freshness. It also quite sweet with some fruity notes and lots of warm vanilla. It smells like a mix of bestselling fragrances from 90s: Jador, Shalimar and Poison. But it’s a nice mix! Follow me on IG: scent.guide

A better, less sweet and more refined sister of Intense Cafe / Ristretto Intense Cafe. Stunning.
