Otimo

I totally agree with the reviewer below, who tried all perfumes in the discovery set and OTIMO proved to be the best of all featured scents. I had the very same experience and must confess that I bought the discovery set mostly for AMORAL, because I didn't have the courage to buy a full bottle without testing it before. Guess what: AMORAL smells ONLY like leather on me, so I am not very happy with it, therefore no chance for me to get a full bottle. But OTIMO is simply wonderful: dark, gourmand, full of mystery and secrets. I generally like tobacco and patchouli fragrances, but this one has shown me a dimension that I haven't experienced so far, mainly due to the dance between these two notes and the sweet accords. Additionally, it lasts forever on my problematic skin and projects further than I imagined (my life partner felt it from 3 meters away), so the price is pretty justified. Full bottle coming soon!

Opens with sweet and slightly tangy marzipan (praline + quince) accompanied by aromatic patchouli that has rich chocolatey nuances (patchouli is not listed here but it is on the brand's website) I don't like gourmands but i absolutely love this As it dries it gets more woody yet still same gourmand notes with aromatic tobacco and boozy rum acents Later on in the dry down cardamom really starts to peak through and the gourmand notes tone down, but there are still aromatic woods and tobacco

This is easily becoming my signature scent for the colder weather. | 100% get similarity to pdm Herod but with a strong gourmand twist, like a chocolatey and slightly boozy dessert. Performance is as good as it gets absolutely worth the price tag as the quality is top notch I'm excited to try many more from Pernoire Quality 10/10 Performance 10/10 Opening 10/10 Dry Down 9/10 Overall: 9.8/10

Hard to describe scent tbh. Sweet, Very creamy sort of chocolatey smell and kind of nutty when it dries down. This smells like someone who is not the loudest in the room but still makes the most noise. A lot of spicy cardamom from the start, sweet tobacco, bitter quince, boozyness of rum and smooth vanilla. The concept, bottle, presentation, story and name of the perfume is a 8,8/10

When I tried this scent for the first time it smelled like a beautiful sweet praline with some spicyness and light rum. But now it kinda smells like an oatmeal but in the best and most unique way possible, so edible and comforting. I think this is the best pernoire from the anima line and the second best from the house, and also the performance is pretty good. 9.4/10
