El Primer Deseo

I tried this beast in the late Moscow autumn. Spayed it on my skin, fled the building and went to lunch with my friend. And through all the useless social small talks I could not stop thinking about the smell. Truth to be told, it was awful at that time. It smelled like concrete crumbs mixed up with condensed milk... Do you recall a moment when you tried something and wanted it more, albeit it smelled and tasted abominably? That's the exact thing with El Primer Deseo. And eventually I realized that I had underestimated the perfume. Ouch...it actually hurts to be a high-level reviewer. And I felt ashamed before Yaroslav Simonov and still want to apologize, although we are not acquainted. So I went back to the store, put that devil on my skin and completely changed my mind. Because the perfume is like a deep point no one would firstly understand, but then it would turn into a mind-blowing and well-considered plan. The plan, as I envisage it, is to bring the smell carrier from the suburbs of a city to a countryside. The perfume starts as a crossroads with street food trucks producing smells of fried meat, squeezed citrus juice and spices. Sounds like a rich palette of a city life, isn't it? Then it turns into the indefinite signs of city outskirts: dust, garbage, all-conquering nature, beautiful flowers, high hopes. The finish line is marked with bitter herbs and heavy waves of leather. And, above all, these concrete crumbs. But I didn't find that awful that time. It smelled like an abandoned and uncompleted building at the very boundary of a megapolis. The odor doesn't push away, but intrigues well. Will they finish the building? Could the building be of any help? Anyway, it is 10/10 and my personal thanks to the creators for tricking me like a child!

I use this fragrance every time I want something cosy and unobtrusive but with personality. On my skin it goes nutty, but not like a hazelnut, more like walnut, more austere and dry. Also some hint of apple and carnation appear but no citruses and no woods or leather. Anyway, this is an interesting experience.
