Carte Blanche

This is a fantastic fragrance; honestly, it's a low-key hidden gem. There's just one qualm... to me, this comes off as a more feminine gourmand. Could it be the almond? Anyways, Carte Blanche is unique, sexy, warm, and intriguing and is quite addictive as I wear this while working. It is light and airy, but not to the extreme of transparency like BR540. When I sprayed this to test, my girlfriend loved it. But as I wear this and smell this throughout the working day I imagine this easily being worn by someone who enjoys their feminine energy. For that reason, I would not buy this, but at least I have a sample to smell over and over. The projection I would say is great. About a 6 foot radius, and projects 2-4 hours before becoming a skin scent or just sitting close, and lasts 6-8 hours. On a good note, this might be the fragrance that pushes me to loving almond fragrances. BR540 Extrait didn't do it enough for me, but Carte Blanche just might have. I would give this an 8/10.

This is a love from the house. I get mostly a powdery (but not in a vintage way), a bit creamy toasted almond smell, it is soooo good on my skin! It’s sweet but not cloying, there’s definitely cardamom to be smelled here and I get some of the woods and very light vetiver with vanilla rounding out the whole thing. Vanilla is there for me from the beginning, kinda carrying the whole thing throughout. I smell Tonka beans as well but apparently this has none. I fell in love when I sniffed it on a tester strip and then again when I tried on my skin. Reminded me a bit of Azzaro’s Wanted by Night (or The Most Wanted, either one) I am a girl and love that fragrance, would go for this one though as I like it a bit more! PS: 20 minutes in and I’m starting to smell the patchouli, which I normally hate, but in this it smells beautiful and gives the whole composition a bit more depth. All in all, this is about almonds and vanilla! Swoon...

Omg this fragrance smells amazing on my husband, I can't stop sniffing him! I love this stuff on him, it does not smell cheap or designer at all IMO - I see so much hate for this brand because it’s by a YouTuber, but the noses behind their fragrances are by some very well known Master Perfumers. People are just so salty these days. Highly recommend Carte Blanche <3

This is a stunning fragrance. An upscale almond, vanilla, benzoin, and woods. Very addictive. I do enjoy this tremendously but it’s sold out. Edit: they’ve discontinued this fragrance which is puzzling because I think it does the vanilla almond thing better than any other fragrance. Fortunately I found two back up bottles at a reasonable price on a reseller.

I LOVE this fragrance! Imo, I do not feel it is too masculine. It is fresh and light while at the same time I get the warmth of the grilled almonds. Great for spring and summer! Edit: I have found that I like it even better in the fall/winter! It takes on a warmth that is difficult to describe but it is addictive!
