Super Gorgeous!

Super gorgeous truly is gorgeous. Warm ambery goodness with powdery sweet orange blossom, sandalwood, soft resins, and a touch of tobacco. I smell a familiar jasmine too, it’s fuzzy and creamy, like the jasmine note in D&G’s ‘The Only One Intense’, or Alien Goddess Intense, or Alien Essence Absolu, but subtler...come to think of it, if Alien Essence Absolu is your evening/special-occasion scent, this could be your daytime/casual-evening scent, both are ambery-warm and resinous with a similar fuzzy jasmine. It’s smooth, sensual, cozy and sophisticated. Kind of retro, but with a modern twist to it. It makes me want to dress in shades of beige and tan, and wear cozy fabrics like angora or cashmere...and take a romantic stroll in the park with my love in autumn. It doesn’t smell like ‘Love, Chloe’, but they share a somewhat similar ‘nostalgic’ vibe...and that powdery orange flower note that is in the opening of ‘Love, Chloe’, also features in the heart of this scent, but it’s sweeter, warmer and darker here, less refined, more easygoing and sensuous. I was leery of the tobacco note, but it’s very mild here, more dry than smoky, not masculine at all. Moderate sillage and excellent longevity, best for fall, winter or early spring, very versatile and can go from day to night. It does smell more mature, 30+. Solid like for me...it reminds me of many fragrances I enjoy, but it doesn’t smell like any of them. I can’t wait to wear it in fall...it will layer beautifully with Victoria Secret’s Amber Romance products, and I will be in a soft cloud of amber all day. As to whether I will repurchase, time will tell, but probably not because I own enough sweet ambery, fuzzy scents that I prefer.

It's the 20th of July and I was ambushed by a sales lady in North Tenerife Airport who grabbed my left wrist and spritzed this on my wrist TWICE! I thought it was going to be headache inducing and my first impression was that Super Gorgeous was for another season and maybe it is. I quickly distributed the two spritzes to my other wrist and both sides of my neck. Super Gorgeous is a rounded warm sweet (mature) fragrance on me. I didn't expect to like anything with tobacco in it on me. After 4 hours SG only projected half an arm's length from me and after 6 hours SG stayed close to me. I can still smell SG on my wrists 10 hours later at a hand's length from my face - I have small short hands. I have never been a MK fan, I will not be buying MK handbags, watches or whatever, I don't seek out MK fragrances to try, but I will definitely buy this fragrance at some opportunity. No, it's not for everyone. Try before you buy and Super Gorgeous is not a safe blind buy. I can only find the fragrance online through two sites in DK (Matas and Salling) and I'm not impressed with it only being available in 30ml.

As I am wearing it today, it seems to be a bit weaker than before. I still really like it though. The mandarin and bergamot makes quite a fleeting appearence in the begining. It's fine, because the bergamot is quite bitter, but the mandarin - maybe I'd appreciate more of it. It goes well with the overall light sweetness of the perfume. I thought I could describe the rest better...but, haha, apparently not. I just like it a lot. Light and mildly sweet, ambery, almost hints of creaminess and some florals. Cosy and warm. It would make a great candle scent. The imagery I get right now: Sunny fall morning, I am sitting in a bakery, sipping coffee with milk, cuddled in light brown fluffy sweater. (I probably have this image from the ad, hmm, well..) I have to wear the original more to determine which one I prefer, they are fairly similar.

Floral, powdery, woody, unique and cozy. This is an unusual designer perfume and I am really attracted to it. It’s a scent that I didn’t know I wanted until I smelled it. Also a great fragrance for retiring to bed because it has a relaxing & cozy vibe. I just discovered this and have only used it in cooler weather but I can see it also working in warmer climates with a light application. Lasts for multiple days on fabric. The composition almost feels 90’s vintage but made contemporary. I’m surprised this isn’t getting more attention. FYI, I am not a fan of the original Gorgeous, which is pleasant but not memorable. Super Gorgeous has hints of its predecessor but is much more interesting and impactful.

I want to gate keep This is what i expected shaghaf oud to smell like but failed miserably Yes it has that designer thing but this is sooooo good It’s very difficult to describe the scent as i have yet to find anything that smells like this It’s a deliciously warm, sweet, woody, aromatic, slightly spicy, comforting and also invigorating scent! So feminine but perfect for a fall day. I think it can be nice for spring and winter too, dare i say maybe even a summer evening. I’m thinking i may have to get a back up of this. We need more perfumes that have tobacco in them but smell feminine! This is the only one I’ve been able to find so far!
