Invidia

Opens spicy, leathery with hints of sweet. Midway, becomes a little animalic but not barnyard nor skanky as the spicy clove settles down. A little powdery and creamy on the dry with mild florals in the background. I know it doesn’t have any ambers but this is somewhat ambery and warm. It opens bold and heavy and only gets heavier as it dries. It reeks of desire and sensuality. I find myself smelling my hands going back for more whiffs of its woody spicy ambery goodness. I wore Invidia to bed and I slept for 6 hours (Bummer, IKR). Woke up and it was still going. On the 7th hour it started to die down but stayed on for at least 9ish hours! My bed also caught the scent and stayed there for days. Sillage and projection moderately good as well. I love fragrances that evoke certain moods (desire in Invidia’s case) and Memoize does just that.

Absolute masterpiece of a scent. I get tobacco, woods and cloves with very slight sweetness. The sweetness is pretty much only detectable when you smell it side by side with something that has absolutely no sweetness whatsoever. I was caught off guard when I saw the floral top notes, though. I don't get any florals at all. Very dark fragrance. I was thinking about getting this a good few months ago. I was fully willing to pay full price (£177), but thank God I held off. For about the past 2 months, this, avaritia, gula and some others have been on a discontinuation clearance sale for £50 a pop and I bought both avaritia and Invidia. The fact 2 months have gone by and you can still grab this for £50 (atleast in the UK) almost feels criminal lol. Perfect for nightime formal events where you wanna smell sharp. 10/10

Opens with a blast of cloves, florals and caramel. The feeling is warm, slightly spicy and stylish.The oak, leather and musk are perfectly blended and create a honeyed tobacco accord. In the drydown the clove note fades and the musk blends with the honey tobacco and adds a beautiful floral sweetness. The leather and tobacco are clean and non-animalic, blending into the composition perfectly. A great modern, niche tobacco and leather fragrance.

Loved this one, my mums absolute favourite. I had to give her my sample of this one. Birthday present is decided for her! A really nice oaky, smokey base, with sweet hints of vanilla and caramel. This one lasted around 9 hours on my skin. Really well balanced, almost cocooning you in scent....

This is the perfect unisex fragrance that can be worn day or night (just add an extra spritz), any season.
