Things We Never Shared

the scent pretty much matched the author’s description for it. my experience: first spray got me every vape liquid i enjoy at the moment: Le Tonton (prolly named after the liquor, gives a gourmand nutty coffeeish warm taste), Tarte Citron (not that sweet of a cake) and Violette (flower liquid, depicting the soap if it was edible). later on, it projects a rich gourmand smell with a lot more to it, i can’t even describe what is it, (not familiar with the most of flowers, trees, rare expensive ingredients and POISON) as you can see how many notes are in here, but their combination is a masterpiece. i don’t feel any mulled wine, but probably the advocaat liquor. the main profile is cocoa, hand wipes, panettone with little pieces of candied orange peel and almonds. also sacher torte looks like it him who’s present:) a lot of toffee, milky thick sweets. on the other hand i recall the snowdrops scent and this one succeeded to evoke the complex feeling of toska in me, as i remember how my father used to gift me those flowers. as for the vibes, the perfume can transcend us to a kitchen in a young family’s apartment, it’s beautiful and spacey, but in that point of their lives they are giving all of the attention to the kid. the father is so tired that on those christmas eve evenings he gets this idea of poisoning himself. 9,5/10 just because on some moments the gourmandise is too prominent. another chef-d’œuvre made by david, i totally understand the price point of this exact strain.

I think people are missing the point of this one. If you expect to smell every listed note all at once, then you're going to be either disappointed or relieved. Things We Never Shared is a cleverly concocted potion. You'll smell the note that resonates with you the most at any given time. I got addicted to sniffing this because I couldn't work out what I was picking up. It morphed with every other sniff. I don't think I've reached for any other decant as much because it was confounding. Ichigo Ichie is similarly so, but Things We Never Shared is a complete shape-shifter. The best thing to do with TWNS is to ignore the notes and be prepared to give it more than one wear. If you unfortunately pick up cat pee, then you may not want to, but you might be surprised trying it in different temperatures, seasons etc. For me, I really pick up the Advocaat which I had as a child with lemonade (German father didn't think it was inappropriate). I hadn't had that stuff in decades but there you go. It morphs into a fruity scent bubble next before drying down to a chocolate laced tobacco. I can't say I have paid much attention to the dry-down because I keep reapplying it. I kinda get why cat pee might come through for some people but perhaps that the animalic nature of some of the florals listed. You may or may not. The fun is in trying I think. Definitely not a safe blind buy for a full bottle (if you can even get hold of one) but a must-try if you enjoy an olfactory journey.

This is absolute magic on my skin. I was told by the sales person that I'm lucky because it doesn't smell this good on some other people. As a matter of fact, he admitted that he dislikes this fragrance because it smells strange to him, but on me it smelled different and he liked it. On me, it's a very sweet, fruity, red wine-like and dessert-like smell. It's my favourite from the brand. Very unique, artistic, exciting and interesting. One spray lasted all day on my skin and kept getting delicious whafts of it during the day. It's truly an artistic masterpiece. Passion exudes from the fragrances of this house. It's not for everybody though as we can see from other reviews; body chemistry seems to be important with this one, so sample it first. It's a very heavy and intense fragrance, so even though I usually spray 10+ times with most frags, a couple of sprays is probably enough with this one unless you want to get a headache. One of my favourite fragrance discoveries since I started collecting. 10/10

Honestly this isn’t that challenging or weird at all in my opinion... The opening does really remind me of a certain type of candy, half soft and sweet liquorice and half gummy. They’re something quite local to the Netherlands, so wouldn’t expect anyone else to know it. Long story short: I mainly get a liquorice type smell, like anise maybe, along with a sweet candy-like plum and a little sharp booziness from the mulled wine i think? In the drydown it just turns into this sweet, almost christmas-esque candy cane type smell. Lasts incredibly well, will last you through a shower for sure, im getting around 12 hours. It is a little on the feminine side in the drydown in my opinion. And it’s very wearable to me as well, way more than people make it out to be.

i think people have the wrong idea about this fragrence its not really supposed to smell good its a story about things he never shared (i assume with a girl) its about the sweet dates with wine for dinner and the black out drunk at a party and even the toxisity that they never got into its about what could have been the good and the bad. ok thats what makes me love it because i think i relate so much to that and the smells remind me of some of these things like almost nostalga but the smell? unwearable i have a sample might buy a bottle prolly not tho
