My Way Parfum

I tried the OG My Way years ago and eventhough I felt it's nice, I never put it in my wishlist because I felt I have a lot of similar perfumes but as soon as I tried My Way Parfum, I knew that I can't leave the store without it. I'm not going to compare it to My Way(which I tested it just once long ago) or My Way Intense(which I have never tested). I will compare it to two other perfumes which I used a lot few years ago and loved. My Way Parfum opens with an iris explosion which reminds me of the iris note in Lancome LVEB Intense. imagine LVEB Intense, tone down it's hazelnut and it's LVEB DND, keep it's whipped cream note and add a fruity undertone(something like blackberry and a little orange) to it's creamy deliciousness. now ×2 it's iris and it's white floral accord and voila, you have the opening of My Way Parfum. I have a love/hate relationship with iris but My Way Parfum's iris is perfect. I can't put it into a specific iris category like lipsticky iris or leathery iris but I find this kind of iris extremely luxurious. as time passes tuberose gets stronger and overpowers the iris but boy, it's an amazing, yummy tuberose. I don't find it animalic at all. for me this is a modern tuberose with gourmand naunces and reminds me of Loewe Quizas Seduction. in Loewe Quizas Seduction, tuberose is rounded by caramel and a yummy tart a sweet fruity accord(black berry, passion fruit and orange) and I can feel the same vibe here. I loved the first hour of My Way Parfum's life so much that I tought it's going to be among my top ten among almost 700 perfumes but unfortunately it dries down to something very meh after 1-1.5 hours. a clean,inoffensive, generic,fuzzy nondescript white floral which I know has orange flower among it's notes because it has some citrusy freshness blended with the tamest musk and something which reminds me of wet wood in general(probably cedar). it doesn't smell bad by any means but lacks the depth and yummyness of it's first hours. I was very disappointed until I discovered it evolves differently on clothes.when I spray it on my clothes or my hair, the opening phaze(luxurious powdery iris, creamy tuberose with a black berry fruity undertone) stays much longer and after a few hours, iris fades away but the rest stays the same and it never reaches to the clean orange flower-musk-wood stage. so I usually spray this perfume on my clothes and hair and love it this way (eventhough the liquid is pink, it doesn't stain even white clothes) Longevity and sillage are both pretty good and it's wearable year round except really hot and humid days. I highly encourage you to try it if the idea of iris+tuberose +whipped cream+black berry and orange in a musky, woodsy base seems interesting to you(I know there's no cream or black berry amongs the notes but the notes read like this to my nose) این عطر واسه من انگار بچه لانکوم لاویه اینتنس و لوئه وه کوییزاس سداکشنه. زنبقی شبیه زنبق لانکوم لاویه بل اینتنس+مریم+خامه+یه رایحه میوه ای شبیه بلک بری و پرتقال تو یه زمینه مشکی-چوبی. ضمنا واسه من رو لباس و مو، بهتر از پوست عمل میکنه ریویوی کامل تو سایت عطرافشان قسمت عطرگرام لی لی سهم

I was late to the my way game - never loved or disliked it. Never bought the original release either till way late. I sniffed the intense all the time and wanted it but never pulled the trigger. My first MY WAY was the FLORAL and it was nice. But. Too light. Citrusy. And boring. I sold it. I ended up with a small bottle of the original MY WAY and I genuinely do love the scent. Perfect sweet Tuberose and soft floral. So when these 2023 releases kicked off and we saw in late 22 that MY WAY was getting a PARFUM - it said to be the most intense. Most striking. Most dense and bold. My way. Yet. 💥 well sign me up! So I put aside some $ by decluttering! Got my $$ right to snag this. This was NOT cheap. $145 for a 1.7 oz bottle 👀🥴 this being the only size too. I wasn’t thrilled. I did save $20 but still. Sheeesh. So how does this rate? 10/10 tens across the board YALL. This is FIRE. If you have the intense go ahead and toss it. This is all you need. The original and this. This. This is stupid good. Dense. Dark. Earthy floral. I get immediately the Iris and dark earthy cedar. This is the MOST Iris heavy top note scent I’ve ever purchased. I did NOT expect this to have such a BOLD Iris. This is a orange blossom, jasmine, Tuberose scent. However the Iris and Tuberose and orange are AMPED. The Iris is 100% the star here if you cannot smell the dirty deep earthy Iris here your nose is fucked because this is absolutely INSANE! I get the most intense silage from this, like I smell it around me like a coat of fur. It’s so cozy yet almost a bit. Too thick? Idk it’s very sweet in the dry down the darkness fades and the sweet Tuberose and softer citrus comes to play. Longevity is heavy. 10+ hours. Insane on the clothes. Beautiful and creamy on skin. Just really giving command for the price tag. This is a perfect spin on the original. I love the original in its own way and this in its. There are absolutely spaces for both and I recommend sniffing. Testing. And owning this. Also. This is a SKIN TEST fragrance. Do not just paper test this or spay in the air and walk off. You need to WEAR this on your skin and experience it!

Update: I have a collection of 100 perfumes with quite a few in rotation, yet I grab this one a LOT when I am not sure what to where. This scent is so pleasing to my nose and everyone I work with. It's dense, but not overpowering. It's noticeable, but not loud. It's powders without being too old fashioned. It's a grown up fragrance that I will be repurchasing for sure. I love the original one, that I was gifted a few years ago. A fresh white floral, clean and bright. This parfum version is different. It does have a sparkling opening with citrus accords, but the bitter orange gives it more dimension. Oh boy and then comes my beloved Tuberose. This time dancing and swirling around with Iris. What a fun way to combine 2 flowers that are so different in their aura. Tuberose is sweet, bubbly and the Iris is powdery, more serious. Even a bit masculine leaning. The heart notes do remind me of Dior Homme intense, which is heavy on Iris. With that said, it is unisex to me. I mean, I am a male and wear this even to work. As a nurse I come in contact with a huge amount of people during the day and it is a crazy compliment getter! The dry down is a bit musky and creamy, skin like I would say. Somewhat woody, but not too masculine leaning. The stays on skin is a little oily, just fmi for those who care for this. Overall: Scent is amazing for a commercial designer. Crowd pleaser with good lasting power. On skin about 9hrs plus, on clothing for several days! Projektion ist average, Sillage is good. My patients say, they smell me before they see me. Will absolutely be one of my staples in the future.

I’m not sure if I like My Way Parfum or not. I have a 15ml travel spray and only reach for it occasionally, when I get the urge remind myself what it smells like. It satisfies something in me, maybe just curiosity because i only wore it to remind my self what is smells like. It's kind of a weird scent. It’s not really how I want to smell. It’s not my favourite from the collection. It opens very bitter from the bitter orange, which I actually enjoy, and I like the ambrette note too and the florals come through. I keep having to sniff it to try and figure out if how I feel about it. It's confusing to me. After 30 mins bitterness fades, but the dry-down ends up smelling like fabric softener which is ok but not that interesting. I think the iris is what makes it unique from the others in the line but also what puts me off. It’s a strong fragrance, long-lasting, and projects well, but I rarely wear it. I’m glad to have the travel size, yet I wouldn’t buy a full bottle. 6/10

This is freaking incredible. Its everything in one! Its wat i wanted rouge malachite, kilian ldbs, sintra to be! Compliment monster. Strong sweet orange blossom, with iris and a creamy almost caramelly sweetness. Addicting yet refined enough for the snobbiest fraghead, sweet but not cloying. Absolutely perfection on its own. But i also layer it to improve other perfumes i have that need a little something more. layer this with dior pour homme intense and wow the punch of 2 iris perfumes plus a unisex edginess is beyond. Layered with chanel no 19 it brings it right up to date with a totally elegant bougie sweetness. My top 3 out of my huge collection which is not an easy feat! For reference im a mid 30s woman. My only complaint is that its advertised as refillable but i cant see any large refills for sale, no even armani website! Greenwashing??? I hope this gets popular and sticks around because i cannot live without this GOAT! 🐐
