V

I had a sample and ended up purchasing a bottle after wearing it and deliberating for a few weeks. I ended up purchasing as my fall signature. This scent is amazing and so complex! Definitely a fall/winter scent. More feminine than masculine. This opens a bit syrupy but in a wonderful way. I get the peach and the white flower and cedar blended with some other notes I can't pick out. It reminds me of the state fair when I was a kid. Thick fall air. The smell of fresh local honey, caramel and fall harvest citrusy sweet treats, and walking along a path of crunchy pine needles. The dry down brings out a powdery animalic texture, but the notes all remain the same. It is in gourmand category but not overly sweet because it is balanced by the cedar citrus and white flower. The cinnamon adds a deep dimension that screams fall. The caramel is strong but blended with the peach and flowers it smells more like a natural and decadent golden honey. Staying power is great. Lasts about 6 hours on me. Delma, my other purchase from Widian, lasts a bit longer. This perfume is worth every penny! It is unique and expertly blended. I love that I have found a signature scent that no one else will be wearing. After testing out a few Widian samples, my Tom Fords smells like a chunky 1 dimension joke in comparison.

Oh me....oh my, this fragrance is lovely. Incredibly warm, with a fruity, floral and even feminine aspect, with a light caramel/fudge accord in which the florals seem suspended. It's not a cloying, Mugleresque, big, heavy floral/gourmand Widian V is judged to perfection in a similar way to Widian II (I recall that's quite sweet?) This isn't the whole story though because it's dries down to a light musky accord and even a little woody and leathery on my skin (perhaps sandalwood?) with suggestions of that powdered apricot and vanilla sweetness but not dominated by them. I thought it was pretty impressed by it, lasted very well too.

I love this fragrance. It's absolutely stunning. The entire "black" line is gorgeous, and while very distinctive, I find that all 5 fragrances share something in common - all are beautiful and unique, but there is a common theme. II is the sweetest, most feminine, and I would say V would follow. This is a wonderful combination of caramel, vanilla, spices, fruits and florals. Very nicely blended, and the vanilla is very smooth and creamy. I had to purchase the bottle after a single testing, and the beautiful presentation is worth every penny.

This is so sweet in the beginning it'll give you a toothache, but the cedar and fruit give it a fizzy quality as the composition develops. It has the same sort of fizzy quality as Roses Musk by Montale, but is much sweeter and heavier. The caramel is very prominent. It's a rich, thick, warm caramel and the cedar is the second strongest note. Other people seem to love this fragrance. I was wearing a sample at a beauty supply and two women approach me, asked me for the name of my perfume and wrote it down.

This is delicious and unlike anything else I've smelled! I love fragrances with cinnamon, but so many of them are for men or masculine leaning unisex fragrances. Finally I found a very feminine cinnamon fragrance! This smells like cinnamon sugar (caramel?) combined with the white floral scent of tuberose. Sweet, but not too sweet. I don't really smell peach or lemon. Longevity is okay, but could be better at this price. This is a LOVE for me!
