Felicity

Oh my.. On October 2021 when the winds got a bit colder, I went to a local shop that used to sell coffee but had a small corner for perfume, I was with a friend checking this brand for the first time, at the time I wasn't this deep at perfumes and I really liked Bliss and even took a picture for it to buy it later. 2 years passed by, a month ago, I was on a shop to try YSL Y perfume and saw Paradis on shelf, immediately went to October 2021 on my phone pictures to find Bless and then I found out how our desires changes by the time passing, it was lovely but not a perfume I would personally buy, then I remembered I really like other perfume but didn't remember the name so I sprayed most of them on paper, only one stuck in my head was Felicity, I was waiting for a restock on online shop to order and it arrived yesterday and it's my perfume for Today! Let me tell you something, I think the brand marketing team were the smartest to chose a creative name like this for such a perfume! This perfume is the literal meaning of Felicity! It's like when you wake up on the middle of October, it's getting cold but weather actually perfect, you drink your coffee, kiss your mom before going to work, and everyone at work including you busy because it's not long before the end of the year. Smell of good and full moments! This perfume could be your perfume at any day and any weather! I'm going to Prague on my vacation next month and defiantly this will be my perfume there! The most lovable perfume I ever had after Chloe Nomade! Smell | Projection | Performance | Longevity | are all 10 of 10 Love it! This perfume will be my signature from now and on.

I fell in love with this perfume from the very first second. I love natural herbal scents, and this perfume is just the perfect combination of them. I’m not a big fan of perfumes with tea notes, but in this particular one they are incorporated just perfectly! The loudest notes on my skin are tobacco, tea and cardamom with hints of moss, leather and wood. This fragrance is quite masculine, and yet it has nothing to do with banal men's colognes, due to this it will surely make you stand out and attract attention! Wearing this fragrance is easy and it will suit most situations. For my taste, it goes well even for summer. It is quite powerful and stays on the skin for quite a long time, 4-5 hours minimum, but it is not so heavy as to be suffocating. Haven't had a chance to smell Montabaco yet, so I won't speak for the similarities. Overall, this is one of the best perfumes I've come across. 9.5/10

I love this so much. I did need to let it macerate for about 3 weeks to a month. It was good before but it really came alive after. Longevity and performance also improved greatly. I can still smell it on myself 10 hours later easily. Clean ambergris, cardamom and fresh green tobacco leaf. I've sampled Montobaco Intensivo and they are very close. Ajmal also does a cheap clone. I think Montobaco might have a bit more sparkle off the top but owning both is probably redundant and this was half the price. Great all rounder all weather any occasion day or night. Fantastic!

Felicity is an Amber Fougere fragrance for women and men.. Top notes are Cardamom, Mountain Air, Juniper, Clary Sage, Bergamot and Orange; middle notes are Tea, Hedione, Magnolia, Violet and Rose; base notes are Tobacco Leaf, Iso E Super, Suede, Ambergris, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Moss. Highly recommend for all genders I’m so addicted to this amazing fragrance.

A slightly less potent version of Montabaco with some almost boozy sweet nuances under the surface. I actually slightly prefer the scent profile of this to Montabaco Intensivo. I wish I had gotten a bottle of this a long time ago.

This is the most amazing perfume I used in my entire life. Must Try!

I like the idea of cardamon and black tea, but the scent was a bit "miss" for me. I will probably just stick to enjoying my daily cup of hot black tea with cardamon instead of trying to replace or extend that same pleasure into scents. This smelled almost soapy on me. Will not give up just yet, will try another round or two.

Aromatic woody scent that didn’t stand out to me. The only highlight is the fresh opening from juniper and bergamot. After that, the tobacco becomes quite strong, settling into a leathery, woody dry down. It’s best for those who enjoy tobacco-heavy fragrances, but overall, it doesn’t feel particularly special.

these a good similarity to montabaco but performance is very poor. projection is almost non existant and longevity is less than 3 hours. quality control is bad also the sticker on the bottle was off center. I am very disappointed. not worth. edit on February the 10th 2025: the bottle is leaking really the baddest quality product I have

There is a similarity to Ormonde Jayne's Montabaco, but it feels a lot sharper intitially. Not as smooth in the opening, but it drys down to a similar fresh tobacco-tea scent. I'll be getting a sample of the Intensivo in the mail soon so I'll probably update with a comparison eventually (the original Montabaco I think is discontinued so not really relevant to compare that one anymore). I've also sampled Narmar back when it was distributed in the states and all three feel adequately similar if my memory recalls it correctly. Anyways, this drys down to something reminiscent of a fougere with a mild amber backbone. The moss and tobacco are big players, but the tea note makes it seem light and cohesive- dried leaves, earthy, herbaceous, a bit grassy. There are no floral notes listed here but I smell them- maybe some rose, a bit of magnolia. It's definitely a classic men's perfume DNA to some degree, which is why I think this type of scent got so popular and is rather easy to wear. The tobacco keeps giving me this dirty ambergris impression too- a little musky, with a complex ozonic quality. Definitely helped by the juniper and sage. As time goes on it still has that fresh bergamot feeling, but everything is nicely balanced towards a fresh tobacco accord. It feels a bit humid and warm, with a sensual complexity like the scent of sweaty skin, contrasted with the soapy-clean and mildly tannic fougere elements. Performance is just average but could also be due to Iso E super fatigue. I've edited some comparison thoughts in the Motabaco Intensivio page since I've now gotten a sample of that.

Testing a 15ml. I own Montabaco Intensivo, was curious how this compares. The DNA is 100% here, but this has the same issue I find with many clones: it's mostly just emulating the dry down... This completely misses the fantastic airy accord found in the opening and mid of Montabaco Intensivo, and thus ends up feeling like you're listening to a cover version of an original song. That very distinct, airy nature of the OG is honestly 80% of what makes it so special, in my opinion, and it's completely missing here. This feels base notes heavy right from the get-go and forced upon you from the opening spray, like an aromachemical cloud "here's your heaping serve of Montabaco Intensivo and don't complain" type of feeling. Minus all of the airy magic of the OG. You know those people who go to watch an artist/band live (who aren't actual fans of the artist) purely for the two or three big hits/singles that they only know of, and have no idea about the entirety of the rest of the artist's live set? This fragrance was designed for those people. They're not interested in the "journey" they just want to get to the destination. I dunno, I guess, as a clone, it actually does what it is supposed to do. As I said, this definitely smells like the dry down of Montabaco Intensivo. But I think anyone who buys this and is wowed by it is missing out on the real beauty of the OG, and should at least go give it a sniff to see what they're missing out on... 7/10

This blended very well, it’s more complex in one sniff, not linear but almost, with all notes like bergamot, cardamom, sage, tobacco “a bit dusty”, woods and musk laid on leather “mostly suede” soft musky leather , it remind me of something “maybe power by kenzo”, any way very nice herbaceous fresh at the top then it gets a bit heavier "cozy" calming, confident and conforting presence, the cardamom is prominent note, start “the cardamom” with freshness then it gets woodier with the musky tobaccoish leather base. Update: It reminds me of montobacco parfum by OJ but with cardamom, like it’s the same plate with some different ingredients, mostly it’s their own version of montobacco, If you like Montobacco “mostly” you will like this one and vice versa, Thanks for whom put and voted up, when I remembered and came to update I found it up there.

Anyone who's willing to swap my bottle of Celestia with Felicity (up to a minimum 60ml juice left will be fine).I have Rosendo Mateu 5 and Celestia is 85% similar to RM5, but Celestia has lesser saffron (RM5 is a safrron bomb =) which is what gives a burnt rubber smell, that alot of reviewers have said). Celestia has a more resinous quality and a more sweet creamy dark choc/ tonka bean drydown, while RM5 is more airy,light sweetened floral /candied floral + airy light vanilla. I'll choose RM5 over Celestia, that's why am swapping =) but that doesnt make Celestia any less gorgeous, its in fact more palatable to people who hates the burnt rubber note in RM5.

This fragrance represent a very convenient everyday fragrance that you can ware anytime during the day. It is convenient to ware at work and for special occasions. Very smooth fragrance, not very heavy and it will last for 7 hours minimum and even more in a cold weather.
