Sacred Bond

Fragrance Journal Entry #83 This is quite possibly the most addicting fragrance i've ever smelled. As others have said it opens up with a bright juicy raspberry note that comes accross like a blue gummy worm, then in the mid it transitions to a candied fruit basket type smell, in the base the raspberry note starts to sort of go sour but a soft powdery vanilla comes in and prevents it from being overly rotten if that makes sense. Now as far as the Dolce Melodia comparrison.. they are pretty close but do a bit of their own thing, they start off pretty far appart, if this is blue gummy worm then dolce is juicy fruit gummy bears, as they dry down they get a little closer with both being candied fruit baskets, while they both have a vanilla dry down i would say Dolce is more vanilla heavy and lasts hours longer than Sacred Bond. Overall i love this stuff and it's unisex with a slight feminine lean. Rating: 9.5/10 Blind Buy Safe? NO

I wanted to try this one after hearing two influencers rave about this scent (yes I can be influenced!). I got to sample it through a kind perfume friend and it was an instant love for me so I purchased a full bottle. This is easy to like if you like that fruity sweet profile which I indeed happen to love. Think fragrances like mula mula (byron) or minnie mouse (HOS). Not that they smell alike! It's just that scent profile. It has to be done right though (I'm looking at you buontalenti - just too much!) and this one to me is done right. I can't imagine many ladies disliking this, as long as you like sweet! It's not gourmand in the sense of a cake, but it's not traditionally perfume-y. This smells nothing like br540 by the way. Very keen to try genre perfumes and have added essence to the wish list for the next ordering window!

I wasnt sure about this perfume for the longest time - I liked it but I wasnt sure I wanted to purchase a full bottle. To me this smells SO similar to God is a Woman by Ariana Grande to me. It's a very soapy, clean sweet scent. Shampoo-y. I definitely get the reference to gummy worms - as it has a candy sweet quality. Reminds me of a childhood shampoo. I will say, it lasts quite a long time and I am very impressed with the longevity. One day I woke up craving it so bad, and I had to splurge on a full bottle. Its sparkling, effervescent, sweet bubbly, fruity & clean. It just makes me feel so happy & positive. Its very bubbly and uplifting. And the bottle is so well done. Absolutely love the design and "marble" cap on top. Sits front & center in my collection.

Am I the only one picking a very prominent blueberry note? Delicious, powdery, delicate, pretty and enveloping perfume. Very different from the scent profile that I usually go for, very unique - I have nothing else similar in my collection. I would have hoped it would project a little more (people can smell me only when they are VERY close). In my experience, it's almost like a skin scent (and that's not because I lightly spray it on 😅). Nonetheless, a very pretty perfume that can be worn all year!

I really don’t understand why people start making reviews repeating exactly what others have stated, just to bash, without- I am sure- testing the fragrances by themselves. This is simply beautiful. It is long lasting and it’s very fruity delicious. The raspberry is celestial. Caramel, vanilla and benzoin bomb! Intertwined with musks and saffron. I recommend you to try a sample to make your own mind and please don’t trust any more the all over the place Fragrantica’s misleading reviews.

I just got this and oh my word the opening is a juicy raspberry opening and then a slight irritation twist when the gardenia( which i don`t like ) then the caramel and vanilla comes through and the saffron brings it all together and the gummy worm profile quickly disappears and you are left with gourmand fragrance that can be layered with caramel . I can see this working with Biacami by Bvlgari , or with Commodity Milk expressive, or Bianco Latte.

Love the scent it’s a 10/10, I have the extrait version but for the strangest reason it doesn’t project worth a flip. Granted it’s not a huge deal breaker but it’s very odd. Citrus covered in caramel with a sweetness behind it. I’m learning this house has a sour note that seems to find itself through a good majority of its offerings, I like it hopefully letting this stuff sit for a while will open it all up.

This is the best fruity fragrance I’ve ever smelled, it smells like a sweet fruity gummy worm with vanilla and caramel in the drydown, and it does not smell like cough syrup at all, it’s an amazing blend, and everything blends so well together, this definitely my favorite fragrance right now, please check out this fragrance if you haven’t already.

The blueberry gummy worms AREEE SOO ACCURATE. It really is an amazing fragrance and easily a tolerable "gourmand" it's very classy. However, longevity on skin is like 3 hours. However on clothes. my friends smelt it on mt sweater and buried their neck in my sweater LMFAO. I would keep my sample but honestly I won't buy a full bottle.

This does NOT smell like BR540 at all. It doesn’t even have that signature sweet note of BR540. If you love fruity, vanilla musk fragrances, this is a MUST! The raspberry opening smells almost blueberry like. This one is a beast that last all day and brings compliments. This is sold in the USA at TheSillageByGB (samples too)

This scent is absolutely captivating! The fruity raspberry and citrus notes are so fresh and vibrant, while the floral heart adds a touch of elegance. It dries down to a warm, sweet, and sensual aroma that lingers beautifully on the skin. I've received so many compliments since wearing Sacred Bond!

This was an excellent blind buy. I was looking for a fruity spring/summer fragrance and stumbled upon this. I don’t like this, I love this fragrance. It takes me on a journey while wearing and it is rather intoxicating. Love the “blue candy” notes as a lot of reviews described.

Sacred Bond smells VERY much like Genre Essence! Sweet raspberry with caramel and some florals. I wore Sacred Bond with Kyse Delizia di Marshmallow a couple of days ago and oh my goodness it was so good!! Highly recommend this combo!

This is soooo good to be true! Really lovely one. Bought instantly. I am I only one smelling blueberries? Very cold weather oriented, with great sillage and last at least 6h on my skin. On clothes stays for days. LOVE!

I’ve changed my mind on this fragrance. I love it! I mainly get raspberry and bergamot, but the mix of top notes give the fragrance a freshness and an almost sparkling, effervescent vibe. I find it to be quite a unique scent, but I just wish it was much stronger. On me this is a skin scent. Maybe this would shine in the summer heat or maybe the scent gets better/stronger over time. It could also just be that my sample is weak. I ended up buying a full bottle anyway, because I do really love it. I’ll update my review if it’s different from the actual bottle. Im excited for the release of Lucid Dreams in June 25! Will be interesting to see how this compares. I hope they are different enough to own both, because by the name alone, I need that one!!

The smell is really nice on this one. Best I can describe it is like a vanilla frozen yogurt with caramel drizzeled on top and loaded with gummy bears. It's pretty sweet, and I love smelling it. However, I find this to be a tough wear. It is a gourmand which I rarely wear though, so keep that in mind. I tested this on my girlfriend and she got a bit nauseated by it due to how sweet it is, which surprised me because gummy bears are her favorite candy and she usually likes sweet scents. It just might be a bit too sweet. I think this is a good example that just because something smells good doesn't mean it should be worn on your skin as a fragrance. But again that's generally how I view most gourmand scents.

When people say that this smells like a blue gummy worm, they are not lying. I like the idea of something that would smell like that, but this is just way too photo realistic. This definitely smells pretty good, but I don’t wanna smell like a bag of trolleys there are Other notes that I start to pick up on through the dry down, but the gummy worm type of smell is so overpowering. This is perfect for the younger audience and if you think what I described would smell good on you then I can flat out say that you can blind buy this and I can definitely see why people like it just not for me

Most people say this smells like a gummy worm and they’re not wrong! It smells like a fruity Red/Blue gummy worm that’s semi elegant, you can definitely smell each individual note like the Caramel, Mandarin, Raspberry, really shines through. I get some sort of lychee type of fruitiness including the musk in the back for me. I can’t describe it but there’s some type of elegance to this that I can’t really put my nose on. Very nice refined candy sweet fruity fragrance I like it a lot! I’d rate Sacred Bond a 7.4/10 in smell Also 8/10 in uniqueness

Sacred Bond has an intoxicating juicy raspberry opening. I really enjoy the smell but perhaps it feels a little juvenile in its fruitness for me. Undeniably yummy but lacks depth. Bit of a guilty pleasure perfume. I can imagine it would be a compliment magnet! SB is uber feminine and bubblegummy and if you love raspberry or fruity scents, then you must try it.

A good fragrance overall, smells like blueberry mixed with caramel and musk being overall mass-appealing, my only complaint is it does smell a bit synthetic and cheap though. Performance is not bad though, lasts around 8 hours with normal projection. 7.5/10 frag.

Opens with addictive, zingy, candied raspberry, dries down to a beautiful floral, airy caramel. Quite sweet but never cloying or syrupy. Would love to make this my signature gourmand <3

Smells like the color blue if you know what I mean. Like a blue raspberry flavored sour candy. It’s fizzy, exciting, and sooooo very sweet, but GOOD sweet!

It smells 90% like Genre Parfums Essence which is more than half the price of this one! Raspberry cotton candy br540 is the scent.

To put this simply, Sacred Bond has too much going on for me. I like sweet fragrances as much as the next person but this is simply a bit too much in my opinion, it might be the raspberry which puts me off. This scent is dominated by an intense raspberry note, a note I already know I rarely get along with. Alongside this you’ve got the sticky syrupy nature of a caramel accord which is then contrasted by the zesty sharpness of mandarin and bergamot. Rather than continuing down gourmand territory, you’re then greeted by a white floral heart which seems very much out of place to me. This scent is alright I guess, it’s nothing special in my eyes and I think there are better options from Reinvented. As I said above it’s simply a bit too busy for my liking, there doesn’t seem to be much continuity or harmony between the notes - instead it feels like a bit of a mess. Overall it’s pleasant, but not my thing.

On paper it smelled great and I was about to purchase a bottle. Glad I tried it on skin... It turned very oily, like perfume turned bad/old. I can detect a bit of raspberry fruitines, but it is barely noticeable. So sad it did not work out... Maybe something was wrong with the tester bottle?

This is 100% feminine. Although it smells good it’s not even slightly unisex. The only way a guy could pull this off is if he’s dressed in drag or extremely flamboyant. Not an insult do you but just saying. This would smell good on a woman age 30 and up.

I’m sorry but I personally think Dolce Melodia does this profile just a bit better, it’s brighter and more of a mood-lifter for me.

Smells amazing at the opening, but somehow dries down to a copper smell on my skin...quite unfortunate.

Cacharel - Yes I Am in niche packaging.

I love fruity fragrances even juvenile ones, but this just smells like a cherry cough syrup and it is really boring. The notes of raspberry and gardenia along with vanilla and saffron seemed to be so promising :-( I also got a really bad feedback from my family - they said it smelled like cherry Hubba Bubba

It’s very nice scent, but it’s extremely feminine. It reminds me of white gummy bears with a hint of raspberry. On the dry down I get a bit of a fresh laundry vibe from it as well. I highly recommend this scent for the ladies, but for males it’s a pass.

There's way too much going on here. The opening was quite sharp and overwhelmingly sweet, and then it died down to a more generic sweetness. Nothing special here, and interestingly it also didn't last long on me.

"Sacred Bond" by the reinvented Italian brand is a captivating fragrance that transcends traditional gender boundaries, offering a unique olfactory experience that is both bold and nuanced. This perfume embodies a rich tapestry of notes that appeal to a wide audience, making it a versatile choice for anyone who appreciates the art of fragrance. One of the standout aspects of "Sacred Bond" is its ability to evoke emotion and create a personal connection. It invites the wearer into a world of sophistication and elegance, allowing for individual expression. The blend of notes is masterfully crafted, striking a harmonious balance that can be appreciated by both masculine and feminine sensibilities. It's important for fragrance enthusiasts to embrace the idea that perfume is not confined to gender norms. The notion that one must fit a particular mold to wear a fragrance is outdated. "Sacred Bond" proves that anyone, regardless of gender identity, can confidently wear and enjoy this scent. Your appreciation of it as a masculine individual is a testament to its versatility and the freedom of expression that fragrance offers. Moreover, comparisons to other popular fragrances, such as BR540, often overshadow the unique qualities of new releases. While it's natural to draw parallels, "Sacred Bond" stands on its own, offering a refreshing alternative that invites you to explore its distinct character. In essence, "Sacred Bond" is more than just a perfume; it's an invitation to celebrate individuality and the personal journey that fragrance can inspire. Embrace it for what it is, and let it enhance your unique presence.

I tried all Reinvented perfumes and to me Sacred Bond seemed the most appealing from the line. I know Pheromones get a lot of attention, but to me, this actually sparked the attention. It is sweet, fun, cozy, and I could even dare to say mass appealing and this kind of perfume tends to get a lot of compliments. The caramel note here is not sticky sickly sweet but somehow feels even a bit creamy. Overall, I get raspberry, caramel, gardenia, and sandalwood the most, and this mixture of these notes feels very smooth. I am not a huge fan of perfumes with a dominant caramel note, but Sacred Bond is very appealing, I think a lot of people may like this perfume and it could even be a safe blind buy or a gift. The scent is like a potion of good energy, good emotions, and overall a happy scent. It's like a pretty scent that you do not have to give it a second thought before spraying, I think it is very easy to wear. I think it is more feminine for sure. Beautiful sweet creamy floral caramel perfume.

this does remind me of dolce melodia in that both scents have juicy, fruity, gummy bear-like qualities. this one is perhaps a bit more candy-esque and sweeter. where they really depart though is in the dry down. about 20-30 minutes in, i really start to pick up on the caramel and it's done really well - not too sweet or cloying. i had a bit of a headache when i received my sample and i was worried that this would make it worse but i really wanted to test it before i started my day so i could get a feel of the performance. surprisingly, it wasn't at all headache inducing and the performance was great. it easily would've lasted 6-7 hours if i didn't wash my hands so much (i always test on the back of my hand). all in all, i think this is a beautiful fragrance. we're approaching winter here in the southern hemisphere so i think i'll wait until spring to buy a full bottle - but it is certainly worth the wait and the FB.

Not sure what planet the person below is from, this is an exceptional fragrance, and it does indeed smell like raspberry or blue, gummy worms, have to admit when I first sprayed it I don’t know if I went nose blind to it or what but thought the longevity and the projection was pretty weak, but it tends to linger and every now and then I’ll catch whiffs of it so it’s very potent to say the least...it is very sweet but intoxicating.. this is a fun compliment-getting, Summer scent that works so well in the heat down here in Florida... I love the musk/saffron on the dry down...very cozy and edible fragrance, a hint of Baccarat Rouge in there, but not much... it’s in that wheelhouse though...

As someone who LOVES Dolce Melodia (and has back up bottle) I had to try this because of the comparison. I bought a decant from a frag group and hated it so I purchased another small sample from Scent Split to ensure I got the right fragrance. Dolce Melodia is a happy sunshiney orange floral frangrance that is beautifully blended - not too much floral, sweet, or citrus but a beautiful medley of all. Scared Bond is straight mentholated cough drops. It even opens my nose up the way Vicks would do if I had a cold. I hate this fragrance and have tried to love it because I love a raspberry note. I get zero raspberry or blue gummy worms. I get blue ice cold cough drops. Hard pass.

I bought a sample of this after seeing the bottle in passing on an influencer's shelf. I try and get one out of left field sample per order, rather than the hyped ones I see everywhere. This one worked out to be 50/50 for me. There is something unpleasant and harsh on initial spray, which turned me off. It only lasts a moment before it settles in a light, fruity scent that I quite like. But as much as I like it, it was something I could find in a body spray for a fraction of the cost. This one is probably not for me, as nice as it is.

Anyone who says this doesn’t smell similar to Dolce Melodia is lying through their teeth. I could smell the similarity on paper. This is DM with a caramel base that makes it less fruity-sweet and more high-strung, candy-sweet. Emphasized the tangy of the citrus accord. Like a fruity sorbet. I already have DM so I don’t know if I should just find a nice caramel to layer it with or cop a 5 ml of this.

This is nice but more generic, at least to me, than I thought it would be. It also didn’t seem to project much. At first spray it was very loud and projecting but it died out quickly unfortunately. Overall I’m glad I sampled it, it’s a pretty smell but nothing groundbreaking for the price.

It smells delicious, but it does not last on me. The perfume is a combination of raspberry with some citrous fruits but it isn't any special. For me, the La vie est belle Lelixir has raspberry too, liquor and other interesting notes making that perfume way more special.

I agree completely with the comment below, that this smells like a refined version of cacharel “Yes I am “. It smells identical just this one is more refined and luxurious and it last longer than Cacharel one. Only the opening is slightly different from Yes I am.

Smells nothing like BR540, but it smells *exactly* like Essence from the indie house Genre Parfums. A fruity, candied scent. Like skittles basically. Definitely save your money and get Essence if you can. They're identical and Essence is super affordable.

Am I being mad or is this reminiscent of a mix between Reflection Man and JPG Le Male OG? Might just be the floral/bubblegum nature of it. Either way, really nice but VERY sweet profile. Leans a bit feminine but I’ll still wear it anyway.

I got a sample today and I instantly liked it. It has something captivating in it that keeps me smelling my wrist. To me it smells like a candy bag smells as soon as you open a fresh one. Now I'm going to test now long it lasts.

What a fantastic scent, it smells exactly like a Blue Razz candy. But it’s not cloyingly sweet either which I like. Very smooth blend and is quite intoxicating on my skin.

To me this smells like an elevated, refined, classier version of Yes I am by Cacharel - even the notes are similar. I love Yes I am so this automatically was instant love!

Blue otter pop. Gummy worm scent. Why the actual fuck would you wanna smell like a sticky lil kid that got sweets smeared all over his face?

It has such a surprising similarity to BDK Pas Ce Soir, which I own, but in the opening i can feel more cherry and almond note. I love it!

It smells like blue raspberry candy or Laffy Taffy. It really reminds me of Britney Spears' Midnight Fantasy.
