And The World Is Yours

Sweet orange blossom face punch. I agree with the review below me that it’s giving me L’interdit. But L’interdit turned up to 11. L’interdit written in neon colors which I have to admit I’m into. But, LI mostly is a grape like syrupy orange flower while this has that but also a more interesting backbone of powdery almond heliotrope, sandalwood, tonka, and a pinch of skanky cumin. Normally, I despise cumin in a fragrance but I actually don’t mind it in this which is shocking to me. I’m picturing a really fun, loud, girl wearing neon yellow and pink just coming home after being out all night dancing (the barely perceptible cumin) at an 80s themed club. Thinking Sarah Jessica Parker type in Girls Just Want To Have Fun. I haven’t tried Sintra yet but I’m definitely going to. This one is better that Parle Moi which was literally just orange blossom and sugar and a bit flat. Oriana didn’t wow me either but to each their own. I think PDM is a bit overrated in some ways but perhaps I haven’t worn them enough. This orange blossom sweet juice is lively, playful, but still sophisticated an 80’s Gurl in neon and big hair or a 70’s starlet in satin and a fur coat that’s calling all her fancy friends to a wild party that last two days and drinks champagne in the pool. This is really fun and girly and is definitely going into the “want it” pile. There is something special about this house. There fragrances just speak to me and quite frankly they’re the most complimented fragrances I own. They just do something amazing on my skin and never fail to project. I can be wearing some fancy Tom Ford or Maison Kirkdijan no one says a thing. I wear one of these and people stop me on the street.

The first time I tried this perfume was on a hot and humid summer's day and after applying it the scent of huge, juicy white florals surrounding me was this close to being overwhelming. So lush, so gorgeous, so thick, so...billowy. It was rich and lovely and I could smell it several hours later, even after a shower. Fast forward a couple of months into a fall cold snap, and I'm looking for the perfect perfume to wear before heading out to a busy day. I grab And the World is Yours and spray it, expecting the florals again, but get honey! Thick, syrupy, honey with warm spice like...cinnamon? In the car I'm surrounded by this lush, gorgeous, perfect honeyed scent. It is so similar to a dessert we've had at a local Ethiopian restaurant, of warm fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar, dusted with cinnamon and then drenched with honey. It sounds unappealingly sweet but it isn't, it's a perfect end to the meal. The dough is crisp and light, the honey is thin (from the warmth I guess) and the powdered sugar and cinnamon mix together beautifully. In the perfume, I can smell the flowers - but in the background now - taking a backseat to the honey show. Breathtaking. What a marvelous perfume.

I wish this scent was a big release that came in large bottles. I loved it so much I used up my vile way to fast and realized this fragrance wasn’t economical. It is a very complex smell, like a more elegant and graceful version of Lagerfield classic. The package of the skyline of the city at night certainly fits the mood of this fragrance. It smells like the big city at 3:00 am when things start to slow down, lights turn off, bars close and people go home. Certainly unisex but leans more feminine. The blast of orange gives it a sort of antique smell, maybe like the cleaning fluid used to polish wood, but not harsh or astringent whatsoever. The vanilla and tonka gives it a creamyness like a sugar free orange creamsicle. It is a very seductive scent. And it clings to your clothes like crazy. I work a pretty sweaty greasy job and when I got him I could still smell it on my clothes. It’s a womderfull fragrance that I wish they would offer up in a larger size. Works best as a nighttime scent and has a lounge vibe.

I'm not sure I've tried anything by A Lab on Fire but the name Dominique Ropion is one I'm familiar with, and with this release And The World Is Yours for Luckyscent's 15th anniversary series, I was inclined to nab one of 10ml bottles released as part of this limited collection. ATWIY is an interesting intersection of subgenres: fresh via neroli and orange blossom, sweet via vanilla and tonka and tolu balsam, woody with sandalwood, and perhaps most of all, floral with heliotrope and, to a lesser degree rose. I don't detect the cumin at all, frankly, unless its use is so subtle that my nose is not up to the task. It's a strong performer at a reasonable price and I could see myself reaching for it year-round, the neroli and orange blossom more ideal for warmer weather but the vanilla and tolu balsm more ideal for cooler weather. Usually, so much heliotrope might not be as enjoyable for me, but ATWIY is well-blended to the point that the composition simply plays well on my skin. 8 out of 10

I dabbed this on in the fall before getting into an Uber and literally thought my rating would go down from how strong this scent is. Revisiting it months later, And The World Is Yours REALLY grew on me. I'm a honeysuckle sucker, and the combination with the florals and tonka/vanilla duo is simply *chefs kiss* And do I detect a slight cherry note? Feels really opulent - the type of scent I would mist on while getting ready in my silk robe at my vanity (my life would be perfect if I had room for a vanity). Still evaluating, but I'm really enjoying my sample!! EDIT: Can't stop thinking about this... I either need another sample or need to buy the full bottle (why are there no decants or smaller sizes!). I can see myself loving this on a summer night out as much as I've been loving it this winter. What a beautiful scent - Ropion is a genius

Definitely neroli transforming into orange blossom and everything the scent description promises...to me this is the fragrance of feeling lighter than air...bottomless...boundless energy. It is stunning...like a bolt of lightning that leaves behind the feeling of a warm, hazy sunset in Laguna Beach. It does not remind me of Alien, thank goodness. I love Alien, but it's not exactly attention-grabbing anymore. Alien has a deepy, woody undertone, and it's soprano jasmine to me. And the World is Yours is orange blossom...heady, seductive, and brilliantly euphoric.

Definitely a love from me, it’s different! Agreed that it is strong at first, but quickly mellows out and turns very gourmandy. Vanilla, orange blossom and cumin (I like this note, adds interest and depth) remain for the duration. Long-lasting on skin and even longer on clothes. I think this has many more facets than L’interdit and is really not that similar (I have both). One thing to note is that the juice of ATWIY has turned darker over time (have the 2018 release which is in a clear spray bottle) but scent remains unchanged.

If you love orange blossom this is it! Longevity is excellent, past 6 hours on me and longer on clothing. So well put together and every note blends well with the others. Orange blossom and neroli are in the front and center, Tonka bean and Helitrope come out on me in the dry down. Funny I sprayed this last night before bed and it’s still on me this morning. Perfect scent for spring and summer. I really like this house, they make excellent scents in MHO. Highly recommend 10/10.

This became a "love" for me at about the two hour mark. Before that, it was a little much. That may come down to one too many sprays - that little bottle's got an atomizer like a fire hose! The dry down here is all lovely orange blossom. And performance is impressive. As someone who wants to get their nose on as many different fragrances as possible, the 10ml bottle sold via LuckyScent was perfect. I wish there was more available at that size.

OMG I am obsessed with this gorgeous, spicy, almost syrupy orange blossom (but don't be confused and think it is anything like LDBS- it's not). The cumin will be polarizing, so you will either love it or hate it, but to my nose, it just smells like a beautiful incense was added to the mix. If you're an orange blossom lover, it is definitely worth trying, and is a strong statement scent with great projection and longevity.

I am still trying to put into words my full review but comparing my new full bottle to my 10ml from 2022 - I think it's been pretty obviously reformulated based on the issues they had with sourcing ingredients and the newer IFRA ingredient regulations. This wouldn't hurt so much if the price also wasn't insane. My 10ml cost me $36 from Luckyscent and now there is no travel option and 50ml is $240.

This reminds me a lot of Messy Sexy Just Rolled Out of Bed. They share a similar marshmallow sweetness, but where MSJROOB turns the gourmand note into a dirty-soap skin note, And the World Is Yours takes the edible and gives it an airy floral heart. It's lovely, but requires less than a spray - the bottle does have a fire hose atomizer!

I was waiting for this to be restocked but the price is now $240! Up from $98. It has 20 more mL and that doesn’t justify that kind of price increase. If you really love this fragrance just buy L’interdit edp. It’s not as strong but it doesn’t have cumin.

Upon first spray, a fuller flushed out rendition of Alien involving orange blossom as the floral. The amber musk sweet accord is also in here in a super rich version. Youll love this if you like Alien or Supreme Bouquet.

To my nose, this smells a bit like Alien and Amarige had a big beautiful baby. This is a substantial fragrance, quite lovely, with massive longevity. I'm glad I snagged a bottle of this limited edition.

Is the 2020 the same as the 2018 release?I never go to smell the 2018 batch. Smells very like Sintra by Memo.

So feminine, sweet, luxurious, and rich! Absolutely beautiful. WWDIS hits it out of the park again.

Have a bottle of this limited edition. Smells divine; Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

Received my Lucky Scent order yesterday and decided to wear “And The World is Yours” to a Heavy Metal concert last night. I should add that this was the first time in maybe 3 or 4 decades that I’ve been to a metal show, but my best friend’s friend is the guitarist in the band and that’s how I ended up there — a middle-aged college professor wearing a summer dress and sandals, surrounded by other middle aged people dressed in black, leather jackets, lots of heavy makeup, stilettos and boots, tats and beer bellies. Anyway, I had fun, much to my surprise, and it turned out I made the perfect scent choice. This concert was outside in an industrial part of the city, ATWIY fit so perfectly. I was partly in awe of the spectacle on stage and equal parts admiring and enjoying my new blind buy. Another unusual thing that happened is that I wore my new perfume without looking at the notes. I really thought I was wearing a sweet jasmine perfume, quite positive that it had some vanilla and musk but not able to pull out additional notes. The World opens loud and strong, and throughout the evening I kept on picking it up. (For an accurate list of notes, see above). I’m not sure I would consider wearing this in closed spaces, but on a hot summer night, at a heavy metal concert, this was perfect.

I love neroli and orange blossom so I had to try this. From the first blast I would say this perfume is very "rounded." No cumin, just straight orange blossom absolute with heliotrope and vanilla. It does smell strong. It doesn't change much on my skin, it only becomes muskier over time. It smells pretty different from the orange blossom perfumes that I have tried in the past. I expected a golden, honeyed perfume but for some reason it reminds me of grey autumn skies. Good for cold weather.
