Veleno Doré

Ugh. I wanted to hate it for the price, but I fell in love instead. On me, it is unique indeed- a superbly blended sweet-leaning chypre that remains multi-dimensional as the hours pass (I love that in a fragrance). I get rum, tobacco, cherry and honey resting on a chypre bed. You should test it for a day, it's not a blind-buy kind of scent. It's not too sweet, it's not too chypre, it's just about perfect. The price is obscene, otherwise I would buy a full bottle, certainly. This is the only tobacco fragrance I can tolerate on my skin. While the note is prominent, it stays firmly as just a part of the composition and does not impose. Damn it. I love it. Edit: I've been wearing it for a few days now. I'm so sad that I can't afford the full bottle- and I've been lucky enough to include true masterpieces in my collection, so I have options. It's absolutely unique, masterful and beautiful and it lasts on me.

Why do I get water notes? I get tobacco, amber, rum, and water notes. So far, I really like this.

G! Old money perfume. Luxurious & addictive... boosts confidence somehow.

A nice boozy tobacco but very similar to a lot of existing perfumes. It's not better done than Bentley Intense for exemple (even the contrary) who costs almost nothing in comparison...or the beautiful Idole by Lubin. it's good but a useless expensive copy.

From a distance this reminds me of MDCII Parfums Invasion Barbare - I get a lavender that is not listed.. Maybe the nutmeg is playing tricks on me.
