Hazelnut in Oak

It’s a more well rounded smooth version of dior Fahrenheit. I pick up lots of violet but the cashmere note really rounds it out and gives it quite a lift. It’s has excellent silage projection and longevity. Definitely a no brainer reach and a complete getter. Don’t detect much hazelnut here. I normally hat violet though because it tends to be screechy but they did an excellent job and rounding it out with the fig and cashmere

Opens with a strong vetiver and citrus type scent like bergamot or mandarin, generic but smells really good. Then it starts to dry down and the oak and hazelnut come forth smells really really really good ass appealing and a lil generic but smells so good one of my favs

Also forgot that violet leaf is in the background through the opening mid and dry down. And the jasmine is very subtle I barely get any fig

Beautiful in a different way. 2024

This one is surprisingly good, and I say that since SOW isn’t known for freshies or anything like this particular fragrance. An aspect of the fragrance verges on the edge of a synthetic vibe, but not in a bad way at all. It’s the type of synthetic that I’ve mentioned before, that has to be used to achieve a note that otherwise doesn’t exist in the sense of extracting an actual note from organic material, while still somehow managing to smell somewhat natural. Performance is also pretty good, more than some of their other well known fragrances. Even the lower performers last a while longer than you might think, they just sit closer to the skin more quickly than you might like. I don’t get the Fahrenheit vibe like some, but understand maybe why with the violet note. To my nose it’s a pleasant semi-sweet woody vibe. I don’t detect all the notes like jasmine or hazelnut separately, but also makes sense that they are listed in the way that it’s blended and the particular smell profile that it has. This is discontinued and I picked up a full bottle after having a 10 mL official bottle, and it will gladly stay in my collection and be worn from time to time. It won’t stay on my shelf as a trophy or just to occasionally sniff-the-atomizer for memories, although I do enjoy just smelling all of my fragrances like that from time to time.
