Affecting Mind

Gorgeous 🥰 In start it is like Narcosis Vertus, but in drydown - Byredo Bal d'Afrique. As I have both, I don't need this one. But it's beautiful, for sure!

Starts with a sweet and spicy burnt sugar note but then develops into slightly sour and earthy vetiver. It’s nice but like SUPER sweet. Also reminds me a bit of BR540 with this overpowering sweetness. More like a baby of BR540 and Encelade, because this green vetiver note is also quite prominent here. It’s nice, but not unique.

[Affecting Mind] ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️ Lovely hazelnut and vetiver perfume. The vetiver is squeaky clean, nutty and textured. Not smoky or inky to me at all. Hazelnut is toasty with a perfect amount of sweetness which steers this clear of any association with praline or candied nuts. The waxy sesame working it’s magic throughout. For me sesame utilises the same cosmetic powdery affect that carrot seed offers but without the earthy nuance and with a slightly edible quality. I’m reminded of the late stages of Dior Homme Intense, with the sweetened vetiver and coumarin/ethyl vanillin finish.

if fat electrician, encre noire had a baby except it has this ambroxan feel to it which makes it super sharp and screechy on my skin. obviously it’s a strong vetiver frag with a touch of hazelnut, sharp soapy musk and light amber. absolutely not for me.

This is an absolutely unique and amazing fragrance. The opening is a little bit similar to NR bleu noir. Cardamon is so shophesticated in the opening with seaseme. After dry down, it's turn to more woody with a musky undertone. .
