Somnia 517

I adore this. However, you really need to love a dark vanilla bomb because that's what this is. As soon as I smelled it, I thought I'd already smelled something like that before. However, it's just a deep sweet amber with plumeria (but not heavy or spicy like Ambre Loup by Rania J) that nobody else seems to have quite made the same. This would pair well with the Delicia cream by Sol de Janeiro or the Cheirosa 40 mist. Edit: I adore this perfume BUT longevity is not great. You really need to overspray.

Beautiful powdery vanilla. I was afraid the ambergris would be annoying, as it usually is for me, but it is only making the scent balanced and preventing it from becoming too sweet. It is unique and likable at the same time. And the name, Somnia, fits, it’s a good bedtime scent 🦦

When I sniffed it for the first time, I was like «omg, it’s screaming luxurious, mature vanilla – and it feels familiar!» I was waiting for my Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods to compare the two scents. This one feels more suitable for evenings and special occasions, with a louder projection. It’s a dark, sexy vanilla. I can easily imagine wearing it in a long fur coat with red lips. Btw, I just love Jérôme Epinette's creations!

A dark and warm vanilla perfume with a lot of amber. Perfect for winter. --> Cosy & sexy, cocooning & seductive, it is a unisex scent. Very good quality of ingredients. For sure, you need to love vanilla and amber!

It's too much. I found myself walking around thinking "who is wearing that beast of a fragrance?" only to realise it was me. Projects and lasts like crazy. Very very heavy amber wood vanilla. Floral notes only if you lean into intimate range. Reads unisex to me. It's a quality, well-rounded scent, but not for me.
