Dirty Trick

I’m in the minority that absolutely loves this perfume. It is so unique and cozy at the same time. When it first opens up I feel as if I were opening a large, old, leather bound book and a bottle of ink inside of an old Victorian library. And I don’t mean it smells old or musty, that’s just what it reminds me of, in the best possible way. There is a lot of ink at the top. Then, it quickly settles down into something warm and dusty before landing, feather-soft, in a blanket of suede or cashmere. It’s so warm and inviting. I realize this review is much more poetic than it is practical, but that’s how I see it. I wish sillage and longevity were better, but they’re not terrible either. All in all, I’m in love.

Creamy and semi-sweet iris with a smooth suede undertone. The iris here is less soapy than Prada's iris - it's more decadent, powdery, even dessert-like. Unisex, leaning slightly feminine. Blended beautifully. Really delicious and addicting scent. V&R failed at marketing this line because there are some real winners here - Invisible Oud is also fantastic.

This is a love, way back when they first came out I bought the travel spray set but back in those days I couldn't justify paying the full price for this. I'm happy I was able to get a tester bottle on Fragbuy.

I don't understand the hate for this! I think it's different and gorgeous

I smell strong oud in this. It's ok I guess, not as good as I thought itd be. There is something almost sickly sweet. Also. The color of the juice is not as pictured here. It sprays on black like ink. It disappears, but it definitely looks dark sitting in the bottle
