Fatal Embrace

Fatal Embrace is definitely giving Mancera vibes. If you’re familiar with the brand’s DNA, you’ll immediately notice it here. It’s a little early for me to speak about projection and longevity, but one thing I can say without hesitation: this fragrance is absolutely amazing. To me, it smells like the love child of Roses Greedy and Holidays — with much stronger Roses Greedy genes. Imagine taking the roses, jasmine, vanilla, and amber from Roses Greedy, then blending them with the bright bergamot and creamy ylang-ylang from Holidays. There’s even what feels like the tiniest hint of saltiness (not listed in the notes, but my nose swears it’s there). The result? A rich, rosy, slightly sunny scent that feels both indulgent and addictive. Honestly... I really like it.

A softer version of Ajwad with less longevity. Definitely a love! Just going to add that Fatal Embrace softens after the dry down until only a lightly powdery musk and ever so soft jasmine skin scent remains and it is gorgeous. I agree with @nicole_wsk's observation of the hint of an unlisted salt note there. I just wish this was a little stronger. What a find.

This is the smell of a church's garden and the embrace of a grandmother

I'm kinda sad to read the reviews of this. I actually like it. It's an Earthy sweet fragrance that reminds me of kayalis elixir 11, not of any of these other scents people are mentioning. That being said, I am a yellow floral fan, and a patchouli fan. I think if you were expecting one of those niche Fragrances you'd be disappointed, but I like this for what it is. Like many other scents I would put in it's family , it's not so much the direct smell on skin that I like, but the scent trail it leaves. I sprayed this on my son as he was walking by coming in from outside and I love the waft coming from him lol. I can't wait to see what it develops into as it sits :)

I feel very mixed, quite ambivalent about Paris Corner "Fatal Embrace." Out-of-the-gate, Fatal Embrace feels poorly blended and very unbalanced to my untrained nose. The opening does remind me of Mancera "Roses Vanille," or Mancera "Roses Greedy," two perfumes I do not particularly like. I detect lots of citrus and rose upfront. There are mixed white florals in the heart. Vanilla & musk, I suppose are in the base notes and dry-down. The perfume wears in a somewhat screechy and cragged manner. Will give this some time, see if I can warm up to this perfume. For now, nothing about Fatal Embrace resonates with me. FWIW, the bottle and the boxing are gorgeous. I'm sad...
