Serpentine 2025

LOVE at first sniff! I tried it in store today (The Perfume Shop, UK) and bought it on the spot. It's tropical, sweet and powdery, has a niche quality. It's airy, light, a bit tart in the opening, elegant and bright. It's tropical and resembles vacation scents, but without the sunscreen aspect. I get berries and citrus on opening, with a powdery and light vanilla dry-down. I have no idea why it's voted so low! It's a beautiful scent, and very different to what is currently being mass released and offered by most of highstreet fragrances. Honestly, a breath of fresh air! And I love the design of the bottle!!! You can take off the snake decoration, which is a bracelet/bangle, and it's beautiful, nicely done, not cheap looking. I will wear it with pleasure. I can tell a lot of thought has been put into this release, in the fragrance creation and the bottle design. Definitely for lovers of sweet and tropical, beach type of frags like: Sunkissed goddess by Kilian, Maui and Maldives by Kayali, some of the Sol de Janeiro mists (but not the most gourmand ones). It's not a buttery/creamy frag, but I pickup powderiness, like it has iris or violet (but it's not listed) and it has a bit of a marshmallow like vibe, maybe it's ylang ylang (also not listed)??? I also detect frangipani. The closest from what I have in my collection and from what I know, I'd say it has some similarities with M.Micallef Ylang in gold! But no banana-like undertones. More like powder covered candies, mixed with white florals and a dash of sunrays/sand/warm skin-but no salt, it's not a salty frag. I LOVE pathchouli and own a ton of patch frags, but no patch detected in this one! I have no idea what's with the notes list on here, but I don't get lavender either, and I own lavender frags too! Including Ysl Libre and Burberry Goddess, and this has no resemblance, when the notes listed seem so similar! If it's true, and all of the listed is in here, this is truly, masterfully blended! Longevity: I spritzed it around 5:30pm and 6h later it's still constantly under my nose, so wow... powerhouse! I used the tester in store, so if I have any different observations later on when using my bottle on different days, I'll let you know. Don't sleep on this fragrance. If you like any of the fragrances I have mentioned, test it. For someone who blind buys a lot, I must say, this is not blind buy safe! Side note: the price was a very nice surprise. Idk was that a promo/introductory price, but it's currently at £100 for 100ml and £52 for 50ml for parfum, not au parfum. Only the 100ml bottle comes with a bangle, 50ml doesn't get the decorative snake. I also had a 10% discount, so £90 for a brand new release of a 100ml was quite a shock (in a good way!) Second side note: this looks like a re-release of RC Serpent from 2005, and after checking the notes........the OG had frangipani and violet! My nose didn't deceive me. I never tried the old verion, so now I'm intrigued to try the OG and compare it!

Mağazada kağıt üzerinde deneyince daha hafif gelmişti fakat şimdi üzerimde çok yoğun baharatlı safranı bol bir koku. Arabic kokuları anımsatan bir tarzı var, normalde pek sevmem ama bu fazlasiyla gizemli bir havaya sahip olduğu için hayır diyemedim. 100 ml aldım ama acaba daha küçüğünü mü alsaydım diye şüpheliyim. zaman verip gözlemleyeceğim kendimi. 30/35 yaş üzeri kadınlara uygun. Açılışı biraz zorlayıcı , listelenmesede yoğun şekilde acı badem hissediyorum sonrasında safran ve yasemin karışımı durdukça vanilya da hissediliyor. Kör alışa uygun değil, kışlık bir koku. Ama kesinlikle son kuruyuşta kendine çeken seksi bir yanı var. Sanki kokladıkça kafam karışıyor , sen neymişsin diyorum 😍 özel davetlerde özellike geceye çok yakışır. Hemen karar vermeyin küçük 5 ml sample edinin. Şişe tasarımındaki yılan harika bir bileklik oldu 😍 negatif yanı bende pek kalıcı olmadı oyüzden yüksek ücret ödediğim için üzgünüm. GÜNCELLEME: parfüm resmen durduğu yerde demlendi ve müthiş vanilya /deri kombinasyon patlaması hissediyorum..gayet kalıcı artık.. Deri derken bu bildiğimiz hakiki deri mağazalarına girince aldığımız keskin boyalı deri kokusu + sıcak vanilya... İlk mağazada kokladığımda o deri kokusunu acı bademe benzetmiştim.. Şimdi daha iyi anlıyorum..Çok yoğun çok iddialı ve çok seksiiii, ayrıca gizemli. Başta biraz maskülen gibi gelmişti ama bence bir kadına daha çok yakışır. Kuruyuşta odunsu bir keskinlik de hissediliyor sanırım paçuliden kaynaklı.. işte o biraz maskülenlik katıyor. Bu kokunun kıymeti zamanla anlaşılacak..

First things first: despite the name, get the original Serpentine out of your head when testing this one. If you're expecting something similar to the OG, you will be set up for disappointment. However, this fragrance stands on its own and lives up to its name. She is a temptress. Think Selma Hayek dancing with a python in the movie, From Dusk Til Dawn. (Google it and you'll immediately understand what I'm saying. The opening blast of saffron tickles my nose in the same intriguing way that Side Effect does, but the similarities don't go much further. The composition is an interesting blend of niche and designer sensibilities. She's bold yet intimate, mysterious--fit for a succubus. You know she's manipulating you in more than one way, but you don't know exactly how, nor do you want her to stop. Indeed. she has her audience and doesn't care to appeal to the masses. Love it.

I reviewed it when it just came out and it was summer and 25C where I live. Now in winter this leans a lot more powdery and get a bit of a leafy patchouli and the lavender - which I couldn't detect months ago! Might also be that the juice changed and matured few months since opening. I don't get any smokiness, but yes, I think a man can pull this off too, although it leans more feminine. There's this slightly lipsticky quality to this and airy sweetness. I still don't think it's heavy, it's very versatile and can be worn in warm and cold weather - not a lot of fragrances have this quality, epically if they have patchouli which is more cold weather suitable.

Bu parfüm oldukça olgun hatta maskülen sayılabilecek bir parfüm. Kesinlikle ferah bir parfüm değil hatta açılışı tamamen erkek parfümünü andırıyor. Koku sonrasında çok tatlı olmayan bir vanilya lavanta, safran ve paçuli ile devam ediyor. Çok hafif deri havası da alınıyor. Bir erkek bu parfümü çok rahat kullanabilir. Koku soğuk havalara ve kış günlerine uygun. Rutin kullanımı zor. Sıktıktan 2-3 saat sonra bir miktar lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme parfümünü andırıyor. Yayılımı ve kalıcılığı yüksek. Kör alışa kesinlikle uygun değil
