Anacaona

Amazing performance and sillage! This is a gem! This scent is a journey... on my skin it started off a bit herbal, ylang ylangy and sweet, too sweet for my taste, tbh. As it progressed, after an hour or so, came the real beauty and that's when I fell in love with it. This "other flower" started to shine, a flower that is obviously not listed and smells so unique and golden that it must be the heart of this fragrance. I checked some videos and bingo! Renier accepted that this perfume had a flower that grows in the Argentinian Patagonia and that him and Carbonnel keept it a secret because the flower is so hard to get. Sooooo... that mysterious flower is what MAKES this fragrance, along with the Ylang Ylang, which I must say, lasts from beggining to end. This perfume smells like Ylang Ylang flowers covered in honey, topped with a mysterious golden flower with a woody base. I sprayed twice on the back of my elbow and 3 hours later I went to a friend's house and said: "Oh you smell good", and I was surprised, it was only two test sprays in one part of my body... And she stood 2 meters afar from me and said: "I can smell it from here". Great performance, extrait concentration, leans very feminine and very regal.

Opulent, excessively elegant, ultra feminine, powdery floriental with a modern yet vintage feel. This is my new, put-together date night scent! Incredible! A perfume inspired by art and fit for a queen! I don’t understand how this isn’t scored higher! It’s gorgeous! Unique! And of beautiful niche quality! ✨

a sharp rose-osmanthus blast in the opening, settles with a honey-sweet powdery rose. I think it's ylang that creates that honey feel. and that geranium-musk combo... fantastic! however, I cannot help but notice something freshly lacquered or painted in the background of this, and a slight sour/old lipstick quality that im not a big fan of... so better test before buying. p.s. confused to see samsara and especially tresor in similars, this one is so very different
