Insomnia Ritual

Today my bottle of Insomnia Ritual Faviol Seferi arrived and I have no patience to share with you my thoughts about it! Insomnia Ritual comes in Extrait de parfum concentration, in a beautiful luxury packaging - from top to bottom, the whole presentation and bottle design of Insomnia Ritual is high-end, stylish with quality true and through. I couldn't ask for more. Now to the scent - wow! Just wow! The words that comes to my mind are: ambery, woody, delicious, cotton-candy heaven! On my skin, it opens up with beautiful and full, rich aroma of sweet saffron, juicy ripe pear and creamy resin, amber note. This start is so happy, so positive and seductive - truly gorgeous! At that stage, I can feel honest Oriental and Middle Eastern approach of the scent. The notes of saffron, ambergris and I guess amberwood are put extremely well. The magic of Orient is here, perfectly polished and rounded. Like it says - "come on, the journey has just begun!". Later, I feel Insomnia Ritual becomes even more rich and alluring - some wonderful notes of creamy coconut and peaches are joining the party. The juicy pear is still here, still powerful and inviting. Then comes the notes of cassis and rose. The cassis gives balance and makes it more fresh and uplifting. The rose gives velvet touch and silky smooth high end finish. I really love it here!!! Later, at the deep drydown, the white musk is getting stronger, sensual and very naughty...;))) At that late stage I feel prominent berries as well. I can only highly recommend Insomnia Ritual to all of you, who love cozy, deep, sensual and alluring Oriental scents with modern and refined profile. Completely versatile and perfectly wearable anytime, anywhere. Kudos to Sezer Sabah and Svetoslav Rusev for making such a beautiful and happy, but complex and rich scent! I'm feeling very proud that such a lovely fragrance is produced by a Bulgarian fragrance house. Is Insomnia Ritual a copy of Tiziana Terenzi Kirke, Erba Pura and so on? To my nose - NO. There are prominent fruity accords in Insomnia Ritual, but to me, Insomnia Ritual has different approach. I think, scents like Kirke, Erba Pura and so on, are mostly focused on the musky-fruity idea, while Insomnia Ritual is way more thick with ambery/resin profile that is hard to pass. If I have to be completely honest, in that ambery-woody part, I could say Insomnia Ritual got some common aspects with scents like Instant Crush by Mancera or Baccarat Rouge 540. On my skin, I feel some similarities about that saffron/cotton-candy, almost caramel type of ultra seductive and alluring sweet aroma. I think the beautiful and velvet Rose note makes Insomnia Ritual really unique. To me, this amazing Rose note is the reason the scent got own character. But that's only my opinion. I'm very happy, excited and thrilled to describe it as accurate as I can, and I can say only Bravo to Sezer Sabah and Svetoslav Rusev! Well done, especially after the success of the first Insomnia.

I've noticed that many Bulgarians create phony profiles solely to upset the brand. We also know who this rival perfume brand is that is continually assaulting Insomnia by creating phony profiles and disseminating misleading accusations here in Bulgaria and in fragrantica too. However, we know in Bulgaria that this boy practically blew up the market. His perfumes are the best-selling in Bulgaria, outselling all foreign brands by a wide margin. Envy is a natural emotion. Whoever thinks that Insomnia Ritual is a clone of Kirke has obviously never smelled Kirke. I'll mention the following about the Insomnia Ritual. I decided to try this after seeing all the hype in the internet .I was skeptical but this one is so worthy of the hype surrounding it. it’s a beautiful fragrance 💞it’s so alluring and sexy, elegant and classy.It is now my signature scent and i’m always being asked what i’m wearing and getting compliments. This is something I can't get enough of. It has an intriguing quality to it... It's tropical and fruity without being overly so. It's not overly sweet. It has a fresh undertone to it that makes it feel fresh.

Tbh the perfume smells good,but the sillage and longevity aren't that great. Once I sprayed myself like 6-7 timea,sprayed my t shirt 2-3 times and on the next day I wore the t shirt and I got compliment. I was surprised cuz I thought it's gone,but I guess that it was just olfactory blindness, BUT I have to say that I used perfume oil on my body cuz it makes it last longer. So I guess the compliment was because of the long lasting perfume oil. The perfume itself smells good, but isn't that long lasting,sadly. I agree that most of the comments are fake everywhere (here or on social medias),but I think that perfume smells really good,judt the problem is the longevity. And for the people saying that this perfume is more expensive than Kirke by TT: Insomnia Ritual costs 50 euros in Bulgaria,but costs 117 in other countries. That's the reason ppl are buying it here,cuz for us it's more cheaper to buy it instead of Kirke. But for foreign countries its cheaper to buy Kirke lol...which is really sad. I don't like such things,but what can I do about that. Generally the perfume smells good,but it isn't long lasting, that's all

I adore this perfume, it last for hours and fills the whole room. Sweet, sexy and smooth It’s well rounded and the notes mixed together are quite unique.Excellent perfume if you want to not smell like everyone else. I always get the most compliments when wearing this. Last so long and leaves a beautiful trail on bedsheets & pillows. If you want to make an impression and ensure your date won’t forget about you, wear this! ❤️💥It’s a crowd pleaser that’s for sure.It’s a head turner, and you’ll have many people asking you what your wearing.10/10 for me

I just received as present from a bulgarian friend as he knows that i like parfumes and as a nice gesture he brought me this one made in bulgaria. I was really surprised that bulgaria is producing such parfume. Really amaising smell, long lasting and you can wear it during all year and in all occasions. The creator of this parfume is a young boy and very talented and charmy😋. How nice that young also effecting in surprising way the old industry of parfumery. Love ittt

Blind bought it. I AM BLOWN AWAY!! . It is truly a unique scent I have never smelled before. It smelled so expensive. This perfume suits all seasons and both gender in my opinion. It is sweet but not girly. Sounds weird but it smells delicious.You can wear this all year round. Especially for a night out in a nice restaurant or on a date. Do not overspray this fragrance because it is very intense. The sillage is out of this world. It literally fills the room.

Fuck yeah 😍😍I am addicted to this one. I'm not one to follow Trends and Hype. I do, however, give credit where credit is due, and the hype is real for a very good reason! You know when you meet that one person that you know is "The One".You don't know how, when, or why, but you just know it's meant to be? This is the fragrance I didn't know I had been looking for. I'm in love 💞💞💞 CAPTIVATING, HYPNOTIZING, ADDICTIVE

Just received my bottle today and I am wearing it right now..I never want to be without fragrance. Pure joy in a bottle and I fell delicious wearing this. Unique scent...This is the bomb I've looking for!! I love it, with all the chemicals and all the superficial flavours, oh yes, this is it! I smell fruits and vanilla and luxury! Finally a perfume that screams!! I will never be without it!

Best luxury vanilla what i have smelled !!! Very natural and intoxicated. In base very,white musk heavy. Projection is beast for 10- 12 hours and whole performance can be 20+ hours ! really love this fragrance.In my opinion this is in overall very light, luxurious scent. Very sexy scent very classy and sophisticated

Personally, I do not like the saffron note in perfumes. But I love cassis. With all do respect, I can not stand Kirke, nor Erba Pura. This one managed to surprise me in the best way. It is much more wearable imo. I find some sharpness in K. and E.P. Insomnia Ritual lacks this sharpness. Big LIKE from me!

За първи път го тествах август месец на морето - влюбих се. И най-накрая дойде и неговия ред. Разносвам го от няколко дни и съм впечатлена, трайността му е чудовищна, с мъжа ми го носим и го харесваме много, за момента е един от най-любимите ми аромати!

Уникален парфюм и доста траен!

Some time ago I got first Insomnia, as I really liked the perfume. I am now looking around for Flaviol Seferi's second offering, namely Ritual. The fact is that there is a lot of hype around it, but many of the opinions are simple marketing and advertising of the company. It's even irritating, and that's why I listened for a long time to get a real idea of the qualities of the perfume from real users, not paid opinions and articles. I personally tried the perfume and I liked it. I'm not an expert in describing the constituent notes of a fragrance, but I know what I like and what I don't. In this case, I liked the fragrance, the durability is also high, but the projection is very intimate. The fragrance is gentle, but I find it more masculine than feminine. The sprayed area is very oily, so surely the concentration of perfume oil is high. However, in my opinion, the asking price for this perfume is inflated and overly optimistic, and better and more interesting offerings can be found for this money. If the price drops by about 20-25%, I think the perfume will be marketed much more successfully and the perfume will become competitive. Overall rating 6.5/10

The smell is very nice- but it doesn’t last long neither on my skin or clothes. The projection is for about 1-2 hours and it’s gone. The insanely positive reviews are not genuine in my opinion- just trying to better the marketing of the fragrance. Overall nice smell- that can’t be argued.

I’ve never been a fan of the Erba Pura or Kirke profile and I have tried! I have several different versions. I have come to realize that I really do not enjoy a saffron note. In the last several years we’ve been inundated with Saffron fragrances stemming from the popularity of BR540 and Erba Pura. Suddenly, so many releases have the prominent saffron note. That’s fabulous if you love a saffron note, but if you don’t, it’s like getting difficult to dodge it. I’m somewhat getting accustomed to it but truth be told, it is far from being a pleasant smell to my nose. That said, of so many, this is actually not as bad as so many others. It’s tolerable. My nose doesn’t translate it as sweet, it is more cold, sharp, medicinal, and reminiscent of stainless steel in a cold laboratory. This one is much more delicate than Ana Abiyedh, or Amber oud gold. It’s very smooth and the base notes are very nice. If you enjoy this scent profile, I personally think this is a good version that I would choose over many of the others. It’s much more subtle. Im not sure I’d say it is trying to dupe Erba Pura, or is incredibly similar. Saffron is just a very distinct note that dominates a scent and people automatically think if a scent has it, it’s trying to smell like a previous one. The fact of the matter is, this just isn’t my cup of tea or my personal taste. But if you’re someone who enjoys saffron, this one is a decent choice. I personally can’t get past it and can’t smell much else in this. But I do think this would be tolerable and inoffensive to those that don’t enjoy it since it is more subtle than others.

My initial comment was not negative, and was only shining light on what this fragrance was trying to copy. However, in the last few days I've come to learn much more ugly truths than simply what this fragrance is and let me share them with you. Insomnia Ritual is an Erba Pura/TT Kirke clone. If it was priced at like regular Insomnia, I'd recommend it as your Erba Pura/Kirke alternative. But at that price? - No freaking way, you're way better off just buying the originals. TT Kirke 100ml is cheaper than this and that's before discounters/tester bottles. You would go nuts if Armaf started charging $134 for a Club de Nuit bottle, that's basically what we have here - a shameless, lesser quality copy that comes in worse packaging than the original it tries to copy. Classic clone houses, yeah? But that's not enough. It gets even shadier. They delete and ban any negative or even questioning reviews on their social media pages. Any mentions of the originals they're trying to copy are also permanenty blocked. Only shining and raving reviews are allowed, which when you translate and read you will laugh out loud, because they're definitely influenced and/or sponsored (Much like the annonymous comments below me). An example of such a review is "this should be priced 4x more expensive and I'll still buy it, it's the most quality perfume i've ever had in my life". No fragrance enthusiast will ever say that, even for the fragrances they love and can't live without. The salespeople are instructed not to tell you what it copies, so you don't look it up and realize that it's more expensive per ml than Kirke, which is way better, longer lasting and comes in a beautiful presentation. Combine that with the creator, an instagram poser, who looks like he came out of jail recently for dealing with the mafia, flooding social media with laughable posts such as "I've created such a special fragrance for you that every girl will wet her pants after she smells the pillows after you had sex and won't forget you ever" I mean the guy actually believes the crap he posts, which is what makes me giggle. A few fragrance community groups I'm in mock and make fun of their prices and way they handle feedback and it's almost like a new trend where everyone shares what they got banned for saying on their page Please stay away. I have nothing against clone houses, but not overpriced and fakely hype, where any discussion or questioning or reviews are prohibited, unless they're praising them like your momma would praise you to others. EDIT: Some of the comments below and above me are obviously influenced/sponsored/fake accounts. Just take a look.

I'm not getting ritual, I'm getting pie. I smell like I just came out of the oven. Sweet, vanilla, cinnamon, fruit. The bottle is so cool that I really wanted to love this, but I don't.

Almost all of the votes and comments here in their Fragrantica profile are fake and paid. If you leave a honest opinion on their social media page you will get blocked instantly, even if it is not negative. They allow only comments such as "Best scent ever, i will buy it even if the price is x4." The next absurd and even bigger one is that this thing is more expensive than the original its trying to copy, which would be TT Kirke i suppose. Everything about this "perfume" is awful. Synthetic clone which is highly overpriced without anything to justify the price. Zero presentation, zero scent, zero price/value, marketing is disgusting (fake and paid comments to praise the scent, while deleting everything else). I would not use this even for free. 1/10 would be generous Highly not recommended and HUGE PASS!

@MissSilvia "His perfumes are the best-selling in Bulgaria, outselling all foreign brands by a wide margin." Show us the statistics for this statement, I'll wait... You can't because we both know you just pulled it out of your arse. 🤦🏻♂️ The Seferi guy tries to act as if he's the bulgarian version of Thierry Mugler (brash, extravagant and hated to a certain extend), yet he's doing it in the most basic, forced and obnoxious way possible. You're either delusional or yet another paid "reviewer".

Да си дойдем на думата - предимно дамски аромат, който в началото мирише на цветя и круша, след 10 минути мирише на дъвка и след 20 до 30 минути изчезва. Напук на гърмежната реклама, той е изключително нетраен и няма никакъв силаж. Най-голямата ми грешка беше, че на болтер ми хареса, а след това дадох трицифрена сума за нищо. Не се лъжете по голямата реклама и фалшивите коментари тук и в социалните мрежи.
