Esprit De Contradiction

This is gorgeous and deserves more attention! It has a beautiful citrusy opening that dries down to a heavenly skin scent that surrounds you all day. Smells warm, clean and a bit musky, in the same sense as Glossier You, only not as woody and dry. It also reminds me quite a bit of Bal d’Afrique from Byredo. On my skin it definitely leans feminine, but I wouldn’t mind a man wearing it. Longevity is great on my skin, spayed on before bed, and could still smell it well on my skin when I woke up next morning. Last days on clothes. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this perfume, from young and old people. This is a hidden gem for sure!

Oh, instant love. I agree that this doesn't last long enough to really be a signature scent, but I would love a giant bottle of this that I could just spray on all day in the summertime. Perfect blend of musks, citrus, and vetiver. Soft, airy, gentle, unisex heaven. Maybe if you overspray you might be able to smell it longer? I would be willing to buy this and experiment, it's right up my alley.

On me this starts off fruity and yummy and clean without being cloying, then dries down to powdery woodsy goodness. But the staying power? What staying power? I really love this scent but it disappears so quickly! Like- fifteen minutes maybe??

I hate that I love this. The brand creates some of the blandest creation I have ever seen, but this one stood out. Bitter, musky citrus, probably the best take for the clean musk trope of fragrance I have ever seen!

It would be on my top Perfumes if it didn't last only one hour. It is the child of bal d afrique and eccentric molecules, but unfortunately lasts so little
