Decadent Dream

I thought I couldn't stand this. Turns out waiting several months and retrying, made all the difference for me. So my advice is: spray and let it "simmer" 4-6 months. Now, nutty, creamy, soft woody and wonderful jasmine notes, alongside the other notes, have all settled in nicely in this bottle of a pleasant surprise. In the Danish summerheat this "Decadent Dream" has ensnared and convinced me of keeping it.

I haven't tried the original to compare, but this is impressive on its own. It's complex and really lovely. From the bottle I smelled old school sunscreen. The initial spray, I was in love. It's nutty, smooth, creamy, and slightly powdery. It stays consistent on my skin yet with each sniff I pick up something new. 1 hour in I finally recognized the pear. I think its a safe blind buy.

Delicious and delicate. Sweet pear and warm hazelnut on the start and after a few minutes the sandalwood comes through. The warm scent is reminiscent of cinnamon. Sweetness from the vanilla and the white florals. Great for the fall. I have not tried the original, probably wouldn’t purchase it but for a similar DNA and at a great price, this is a good choice.

I have the original and can definitely say it smells pretty much the same except the dry down on this is a bit sweeter and less spicy which I actually prefer. Obviously projection is not gonna be as good as amouage but for the price you pay it’s stunninggggg 💕

The opening is awful for me, it smells like sweat for me. But i love the drydown. That's where the magic happens.
