Lambrosc

I blind bought this based on eliasriachi and the other reviews below. I get more grape than wine, but that’s ok, it just works. This is the happiest fragrance in my collection and it’s very addicting and intoxicating to the nose. Longevity and sillage are outstanding. So pleased with this. Update.... The drydown of this fragrance is amazing and that’s when the wine shows up. Then, when I got up the next morning and started working out, before taking a shower, it came out full force and all the sweetness is gone and with just oak and wine. This is very special.

Oof!! Stick a knife in me I’m done. Reminiscent of artificial grape candy scent but not too sweet and not too juvenile. When I was a kid I used to rub bubblicious wrappers on my wrists like it was perfume. I loved the smell so much and always wanted a perfume that could scratch that itch without being too obviously kiddie. This is IT!

Wow! This scent is gorgeous!! I dont get wine here, but thats not a problem because it has the best green grape note ever! In the background I can smell a bit of that red fruity vibe and a hint of patchuli, that reminds me a grape juice mixed with it seed. 10/10

Yes it smells like grapes and LOTS of oak! I'm loving it although it's a bit too simplistic.

A friend once mentioned that he wanted to find a perfume that smelled like wine—I’ve taken on that mission as my own. Lambrosc opens with bright purple “grape”—that kind vaguely reminiscent of concord, but ultimately native only to the candy category; artificial but in a familiar, expected way (what else does grape even smell like??). There’s a mentholated, slightly camphoraceous note on top of that—as if you’ve taken a grape Jolly Rancher to your lips covered in healing ointment. With a stretch of the imagination, you could say this evokes a glass of the cold, effervescent lambrusco from which this perfume receives its name. But... it’s a stretch. I don’t get much progression or a strong base—maybe there’s some moss and white musk lingering back there—just a slow disintegration of that punchy opening. Not a serious contender for “best wine-like fragrance”—it lacks nuance, funk, all the subtleties that make wine (and perfume, for that matter) beautiful. But we had fun, didn’t we? And as a grape fragrance, it’s pretty enjoyable.
