Okay, even though I repeatedly say that I'm not good with sweet fragrances, here's an example of something that proves that it's a qualified "rule". There IS something decidedly sweet about this juice and, in fact, it even seems to become more pronounced as it dries down. But it's beautifully balanced by the more sour citrus notes and the more mellow floral notes - think about the smell of a fresh magnolia. There is something gourmand about the overall result -spices, citrus, pepper- but it's not a simple "sweet 'n sour" simplicity. There's almost something chemical or slightly metallic or solvent-like in the mix that gives it this taut cleanness. I imagine that it's a fragrance that might appeal to a lot of women who say that they prefer the smell or men's fragrances and conversely to men who are cautious around florals and it's also definitely one of those understated but intriguing scents that are good for practically any occasion.

Bright and grassy cannabis with fizzy citrusy notes. Quite sweet, yet deep and complex scent. I like that it has some airy qualities, however the synthetic sweetness (burnt sugar type) makes it more grounded and easy to wear. It’s quite unusual but still a crowd pleaser sort of (because of some similarities with BR540 in the base I guess). Still nice!

Ignore the note pyramid, it won't help you imagine what this perfume smells like. I was expecting an amber-floral, and I got a fruity-sweet-spicy fragrance that opens on a very recognizable note of either strawberry candy or strawberry candy floss - cooked sugar mixed with artificial strawberry, in any case. There's also a slight tingle in there I can only describe as minty, although it's not quite mint; the more I think of it, the more I think the closest thing to the opening of this perfume is the smell of strawberry Tic-Tac. After a few minutes, I also detected a fairly prominent note of black pepper, which is welcome as it cuts through the sweetness and makes the perfume less juvenile. There's a touch of resinous, slightly animalic warmth to this that I'm assuming is the labdanum making its presence known. The magnolia and the citrus play together to bring a fresh-lemony tinge to this perfume as well. The reviewer who described this as spending the day at the fair with your first crush is right on the mark: this is a giddy, fun fragrance bottling both the headiness of a first love and the excitement of a day at the fair. It's not a gourmand, but it certainly toes the line; if you usually like candy and sweet berry notes but are looking for a perfume showcasing these elements in an original, thoughtful way, I would grab a sample of this ASAP.

What on earth are the majority of these reviews talking about? If you want to smell like a dirty hippie, I guess go ahead, but that is legitimately what this smells like. It smells like weed and plant roots pulled straight from the ground and covered in soil; this perfume is a mixture of those two. I'm scared to try it on my skin, but if by some miracle it changes the scent, I'll update this review.

@Scent or Treat, I do not think A.Wihelm copied the Narcos'is. I've tried the whole Vertus line and they are just an another copie house from Turkey (I am Turkish and familiar with Turkish brands doing this). Stated that they came out in the same year but pretty sure that Vertus copied this one. Nevertheless, both are quite nice.
