Burdel

Passing through Neiman a couple days ago I spotted this scent and sprayed in on a whim. Whooaaa was I instantly mesmerized. It’s super complex and a little weird in the absolute best way possible. On me, there is an initial smell of what I can only describe as nostalgic play dough (which I adore)....the dry down is rich and sexy and powdery, and has me continually smelling myself. Obvi I dug deep and purchased this hidden gem ($$$$), and it’s SO worth it. 2 sprays is more than enough for the day. And yo, the packaging???? I won’t spoil the surprise. Let’s just say it’s sups over the top 😂💯

Alexandria II is much "drier" than this one, Burdel is spicy, slightly flowery, and sweeter overall. I honestly wouldn't even make the connection between the two. Still, for a faithful "replica", it's baffling how this one has flown under the radar. It's a potent, rich scent that will make you stand out.

Ok this is definitely an interesting complex/simple scent. The name of fragrance has nothing to do with promiscuity, a brothel/bordel or something similar. It has to do with growing up, running for dreams and a memory from a kind of growing up. That is permeated with various feelings.This is not a fragrance for boys. This is the scent of adult person in whom that childish dream smolders. The smell in the opening is wonderful ( be sure of that) but later some people not find in this creation. When we get to the base it becomes a little unusual but still wearable( for me ) this fragrance made me want to smell it on my hand again and again. As with everyone, it's a deep analysis, reflection, thinking about the smell. Weighing ..yes or no. It definitely requires more testing to fit the whole story and find the person who would wear this perfume. After some time still good in in an undecided sense with a good overtone of a passing grade. The final stage of the fragrance is divine. The smell is strong and complex, performances are as before for all of Paolo’s creations above levels. Worth the money? YES ! Interesting smell and I think it will be written more about in the coming years. This is not a perfume that you can compare with anything. Let alone not with Xerjoff Alexandria II ..no way..totally 2 different worlds/GENRES. imagine an old shelf in the room. And there is a bronze ball on it. Which has something engraved in it. You take that ball in your hand and you know the background story..you feel the weight of the ball.. you smell the ball... and put it back on the shelf. and that feeling of weight in the hand is this smell. Nostalgic time in a bottle. The smell is not depressing, but it is melancholic. Definitely not for a date, date or work. This is a job where you will be alone with yourself and your thoughts in consideration and reflection... you can be in nature, in your room... at the sea... in a sweater or a shirt... I see him in something other than a short shirt. This scent could evoke really nice emotions in someone who is used to being alone. Performance 10/10 Smell: For me personally 8 out of 10 ( unusually interesting and addictive ) But it may be too much for someone because is strong. Not strong in sharp way or beast frag mode..just strong as a character. An interesting experience translated into a perfume liquid.

A bold flamboyant woody spice scent designed as a tribute to the characters in the films of Federico Fellini. The scent opens with strong aromatic notes of cardamom, cumin, labdanum and bergamot. The heart is guaiac wood, cypriol, gurjun balsam and slight lily of the valley. The perfume settles into a dense musky powdery bed of synthetic musk, ambergris, Hindi oud, sandalwood and vanilla. The masculine leaning scent has tremendous sillage and projection and very good longevity. This is a scent bound to shock many because of its unabashed animalic overtones. But those who don’t care about being eccentrically over the top like the perfumer behind the scent need to check this kitchen sink of a scent out. Unapologetic gleeful overindulgence. Enjoy!

I got a random sample of this for a purchase so didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Loves the opening, very zesty and bright. But then the cumin came in, my skin pulls cumin strongly , maybe because I cook with it often lol so it made me a bit nauseous, so it’s an automatic no for me. However even though I know it’s not for me, I can see how other ppl would like this a lot. If I ignore that pungent cumin , I get a creamy woody undertone almost some kind of lotion-like vibe, some kind of balsam note starts to creep in which I do enjoy my balsams. Eventually the cumin does dial down but i can still pick it out . This I would enjoy smelling on a man instead of another woman but each their own. Overall good scent !
