Ricina

I bought it 2 days ago. Short story: I ve never heard about that and Fleur narcotique. I smellt that DNA 2-3 years ago, on everybody in Turkey and arabic countries. I was in a hotel and every men from the reception smellt like that. I was in love with that smell, altough i found it very strange because of the floral vibes, but i was really ADDICTED and CRAZY to smell again. After 2 years i also smellt in Europe but still on a man. (Altough more women wear it i read) I had to wait so long to find something with that smell/dna. I tried also Fleur Narcotique, it seems to be similar, but finally i bought the Ricina because i could get it easier. Many people say that is feminine, but as a man, i really love to wear it, i feel like i am addicted to it. It s true that is not so masculine altough i have a lot of masculine fragrances, that s why i feel so special wearing it as a man. It s fresh and floral. I will wear it in summer. It gives me old money vibes, wearing it on the beach, with a nice casual shirt. Good performance. Cheers!

On me, Ricina smells something like this: 1) Orange blossom for like, two seconds. 2) PEACH. Lovely, soft, fuzzy peach. Hours of peach. Not juicy a la Peche Cardinal, but floral and calm. Also orange blossom. At this stage it does bear a slight resemblance to Kilians peachy florals, such as Flower of Immortality (well, minus the rose). 3) Orange blossom. Only a little peach. Pretty soapy. A lot of people smelled peony, but for me it faded into the floral background. For me, it is all about the orange flower, which I'm super sensitive to. On the whole, I'd say Ricina smells like human skin and peach soap and IT IS VERY NICE. This is not a negative review, yo! This is love! I particularly like how wearable it is; fruity and floral but not too sweet, fresh yet muted... Oud is not too noticable, thank *insert deity of choice*.

Ricina is a very nice fragrance that opens up with a citrusy vibe and the peach is very dominant which makes me love it even more. The flowers in the heart are so gentle and soft and they blend in an amazing way together with the oud and patchouli. I feel like this is the ultimate fragrance for summer time, on one hand it is so light and freshy and on the other hand, it stays on your skin for hours and I love it!

I have Fleur Narcotique. I love it also - both are quite different. FN is airier, fresher and smells like a sweet white wine, whereas Ricina smells more citrusy with an oud note. Both last on the skin, and are fantastique for summer. Next summer, I will have a bottle. This is more mature and sexier, is by no means a dupe. Both should be experienced.

This one starts out with fizzy citrus and peaches. As it dries down it gets warmer. It has a fair amount of woods and musk. Apparently this also has oud, but I never smell it. I do smell vanilla or amber which isn't listed. It's completely unisex. Peachy, musky woods with sweetness. Very well made scent. I love the cedar note in the drydown 😍
