Liquor BPM

The best tobacco I know to date, and I've tested 1k fragrances at this point. I snagged the bottle the day I received the sample immediately. Here's why. Niche can't into tobacco (this sentence construction will make much more sense to you if you're native in Polish, or Polandball memes). I mean it - whenever you get some it's one of the same thing - a sickening concoction of honey and hay-like tobacco, an ashtray, or a dry woody resinous and hay-ish tonka. Some don't even smell of tobacco once you have enough experience to distinguish some naturals and/or aroma chemicals, like Naxos (ooooh did I trigger some of you :D ?). I don't want to smell like Winnie the Pooh, I don't want to smell like Marlboro's fan scarf or, God forbid, breath, and I'm way too young to smell like a dated, retro, sometimes stale attic (maybe in 20 years) but! Once in a while you get a perfume that uses a real tobacco as a note and I'm pretty sure it's one of those (it's using blond tobacco). I owned Prin's Rhinoceros and it's a bit too nasty, too damp to my taste. I can appreciate it, for sure, but if it makes me react with 'ugh' I'm not wearing it. I tested the same year's Kilian Smoking Hot that isn't smoking. or hot. or lasting, for fuck's sake look at the price tag Estée Lauder! Liqueur BPM though. On the opening it gives you a bit of that soft pear you might know from Ultra Male, but that's gone quickly. The mid comes up fast and stays for long and here's the trick. The brand isn't giving you all the notes. There's a lot of tobacco without the smoke, without the hay or dry, dirty labdanum. It's backed by a natural vanilla in the base, sweetish ambery wood and sandalwood chips. I've heard the perfumer mention in some interview that he used (was it called chips?) note which smells of a classical, creamy sandalwood but gives you a 'toasted' wood vibe and it's oh, so present and somewhat delicious here. I can smell the patchouli here but that's not an important factor of the smell, it isn't earthy, dirty, musty, old, or chocolate-y. The leather, yeah, maybe, but like, a camel-colored suede. Soft. What I think is also here is anise seed. I can feel it, even if it's not an official note. It gives you a 'golden' vibe that reminds me a tiny touch of Kilian's Gold Knight. There's also licorice or something similar as I'm pretty sure I can photorealistically pinpoint an accord I smell here - a bag of mixed black Haribo gummies. You know, not only the black ones - the mix that includes them shuffled with fruits or marshmallows. You get that a lot under that tobacco/vanilla/sandalwood blend. The performance. I don't know. After the initial opening, let's say the first hour, it doesn't scream in projection. It has a sillage, but it doesn't push by itself - especially beyond an arm's length. It is lasting, will get you through a workday but for how long will others pick it up? Hard to say even though I tested it extensively. In my opinion you'll get moderate projection in second, to maybe sixth, seventh hour and beyond fifth/sixth you'll leave a tail when passing by someone. I wouldn't wear it beyond 20 Celsius, and I'd question my decision after 15. Is it masculine? Not really, but I think you'd need a bit of a character to work with it as a woman. The price is good, the quality is here. I'd improve on the presentation as it's the most expensive perfume from the brand. The cap is light and weighs nothing, even though it's made of wood (slides into place, doesn't click). The atomizer gives you a lot ot juice, but it's not pressurized giving you a very wide cloud that doesn't burst far enough from the bottle. Uncomfortable to me. The box, well, a box. That's it. I also think it's a pretty linear fragrance - it does change, but not a lot especially after the opening.

Liquor BPM L'Orchestre Parfum I like Liquor BPM as the middle ground of this profile. Middleman of bad thing, boozy and tobacco in the same time. It is complete package, and it is somewhat leans classic fragrance. This is strong as any tobacco fragrance use Superamber should be. But this never tuff on my nose or make me tried during the wear. Where I like the most is the middle part that soft green, banana resin like. I think - this might have iris just enough to cover Super-Amber. When the scent reach last stage at 3 hours post wear. It is powdery ambermax that strong but soft to my nose. Softly sweeten, fruity and fresh. and yes a beautiful clean patchouli. Kind of Mugler vibe, but more clean, neat and not extremely sweet. I think this is enough for repeat wear. I enjoy. I will keep her in collection. (Ps. I think, for more Tobacco leaning with soft honey side of thing, I still like - Oud Affairs. Same light amber-work, please to the nose)

I absolutely adore this perfume. To me it's perfectly centered, not too loud and not too demure. This makes the fragrance very versatile and quite wearable at the office or at meetings, but it would also be perfectly suitable for fine dining or an evening at the opera. It is quite distinct in its projection, smelling noticeably different from a few feet away than when you smell it close to the skin, which is in and of itself an art in perfumery. In the projection you get more of the boozy tobacco with hints of wood and amber, whereas closer to the skin it showcases more of that smoked fruit accord making it reminiscent of Killian's Smoking Hot. In my opinion the fragrance successfully conveys elegance and refinement without being too "in your face" about it. This my first bottle from L'Orchestre, but it certainly will not be my last.

Luxurious and inviting... Full of luscious pear and beautiful blonde tobacco leaf rolled and dipped in sweet absinthe. After the first spray, this one jumped right to the top of my list of favorite "boozy" scents. I know there are comparisons to Angel's Share (which I love), but the pear note(s) make it so much more unique. The fresh tobacco here is the purest I've encountered and makes me want to explore more fragrances in that vein... There's just something about this one - it's smooth, mysterious and lavish... Wonderfully imagined and crafted. 10/10

A perfume, which is rich, luxory and elegant. Evokes the smell of clasic theatre where the smoke of cigars is spread by ladies fan. Noble wooden instruments play solemn music and during the pause the liquers are enjoyed. But there is also juicy aroma of pear: almost buttery, nicely sweet with vanila. Treuly tasteful and intoxicating. One of the best compositions by L'Orchestre. Divine. --- Nice projection and longevity (7-8hrs). I'd wear it during autumn-winter season.
