Benetroessere Raving

oh, wow! I really love this smell! Deep woody and spicy indeed. On my skin it fits increadibly well. It's like my nose is attracted to my skin; I can not stop smelling! What is strange; when I rub my hand hard on the perfumed place, the fragrance change for a very short time to a bit salty water with spices. Cinnamon is well absorbed in the other notes, which is why this perfume in my opinion does not smell like Christmas

On me this is quite lovely, very deep, woody, spicy, vanillic in not too sweet way. Maybe even bit christmassy - but not in the obvious spicy-potpourri -style. The musk blends in beautifully. Although it is strong it stays relatively close to the skin - a property I personally value in stronger scents, I don't want to intimidate others. Great option to warm me up on the heart of winter. Perhaps bottle-worthy to me... ...but still considering. Will update the review, this was my first experience.

This smells quite peachy and sheer, i can get a gentle resinous base, but no spices! Its creamy somewhat too possibly from the vanilla, i really enjoy this one, gentle and just *nice*.

un'acqua per il corpo speziata e calda. sembra un ossimoro, ma è così! su di me non va bene

I personally don't see how the name fits the fragrance in any way, and to be honest when I got my sample of this, from the name, Raving - I thought immediately it was a mens perfume. (At the time I hadnt seen the full bottle which is pink) OK so I put this on and whoa its strong and I immediately got an 80's vibe. I can barely smell the top notes at all, its all base and mid notes to me and yes you can smell all of them. You know what, I think a man could even perhaps wear this, if a guy liked deep, spicy,vanilla based scents, he could pull this off easily, I don't think it's entirely feminine. To me, this is a bit different but Im not sure I like it. Its quite a heavy spicy scent (the nutmeg is very strong), and it obviously has a gourmand vein due to the vanilla, but its cloying to me and has no transparency whatsoever. It sits on top of your skin completely, I found it didn't mesh at all. Skin scent lovers - stay away!! I would class it as an oriental overall, as the spices are so prominent. I could only wear this in the coldest of weather. But I probably wouldn't wear this at all. It might be a comfort scent for some, but its just too strong and has a musty-ness that I'm not loving.
