Taskeen Wowie

Had this sitting for about 5 weeks and decided to wear this yesterday and this is what I’ll note. The projection is very strong for the first 2.5-3 hours then it becomes intimate. I’d say it stays modest for about 6 hours and after that point it’s a skin scent. I think this will improve the longer I have it but I’ll follow up in a few months. The scent its self is a creamy spicy orange, vanilla creation that kinda reminds you of an adult version of those Flintstones push pops we used to get from the ice cream truck as kids. Very nostalgic smell and I adore it. Can’t wait to see if this extends wear time because if it truly becomes beast mode, this will be one of my favorites. I think it’s not a safe blind buy some people are going to be very thrown off with how foodie this smells so keep that in mind I would say sample it first before you make any moves into buying it .This is a great addition to my collection because I have nothing like it and in the days of everyone having a delina DNA or an angel share DNA or a marshmallow blush DNA I’m glad that someone is branching out to give us something a little bit different.

This is a top 5 favorite scent of all times for me. It smells like a continental breakfast on a cold Christmas morning. Unique. I’m a citrus marshmallow girl (think Hufflepuff), so when I wear this, I feel very grown up because I’ve removed the fluffiness and added spice. The butter here is addictive. Butter done right. I’ve had mine for about 5 wks now. Stays 12+ hours on my clothes & booms the entire time. I have a 5ml spray of the other. The other opens w/ more of a sour orange juice (think the oj has gone bad) and settles way more buttery/bready with an orange essence in the background. This one is a bright fresh OJ, and the creaminess & butteriness pop up after and stay (the OJ remains prominent). I love the other better in the beginning, but this one wins the dry down and longevity test. As an aldehyde hater, I don’t detect them in Wowie. I can smell the difference between the 2–Wowie is brighter. So, by no means exact. Related vibes. Wowie is orange creamsicle halfway dipped in butter. The other is a medium brown buttery orange marmalade danish, then somebody quickly ate the orange part.

I love this so much Im so delighted I gave it a chance. From the reviews I was expecting a toilet cleaner harsh smell but it is so soft and smooth and blended. Its not even a harsh citrus as a person who is not the biggest citrus fan, this orange is such a gentle and non acidic orange, yet realistic and not synthetic. It is like a really reduced marmalade and pastry scent and it is probably one of the most flattering gourmand scents I have ever come across. Its not a sickening sweet cupcake cookie scent (which I am also here for) but that is what makes it gorgeous and grown up, a French bakery vibe. Its not spicy to me in a spicy middle eastern way or Christmas cookie way, the spice is not at the forefront but really like if you were adding a bit of nutmeg to your pastry, it grounds it. I'm obsessed from opening to drydown. 10/10...I just layered this with Cream Velvet and I am almost passing out how perfect it goes..absolutely gorgeous!

It smells like a tart citrus caramel, sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't like it. It is just a weird combination that works, but sometimes it's too weird. I compared with Roja and mine opened more citrus and Roja slightly more caramel, the dry down of wowie is a bit smoother and Roja you literally smell a caramel with a Clementine in the back, knowing middle Eastern fragrances, I bet it will macerate to be very similar. I believe influencers might get a macerated version and it is a lot more similar. I will update in a few weeks. Update 2 ww: I'm starting to get the name "lost in Paris" now, it is maturing very well, and showing up with the very creamy dry down. Update 3 after 3 months: It is now so good! Give it time to macerate! It smells like an orange freshly baked pie.

I’ve been here before with a worse opening at first sniff with Bryan Al Asrar (Guidance Dupe). I almost threw it out because it was so bad. Instead I reboxed it and threw it in my closet for 6 months. I then got it out to give it away and I sprayed it again and Dammmmm !!! It was so different , 92% on skin and 98 in the air. Just know the depth is on skin is not comparable to guidance but it’s so close I switch it out to save my bottle of guidance 46 and I can’t tell the difference To My Nose. I have smelled LIP and this is miles from that but I still smell the connection. So again I’ll give it a few months and look forward to a surprise
