Kobe

Just received in the mail today (Merci Beaucoup Twisted Lily). This was a blind-buy for me and I did it solely based on my wonderful experiences with the House Of Xerjoff as well as the note breakdown... Please please fragrance community: I do not recommend you go out and blind buy a fragrance @ $260 + Tax. I occasionally do, especially when it comes to outstanding Niche Houses! That being said, I often look at my storage units and shake my head when I am reminded of the occasional "scrub" I ended up grabbing.. Right off the bat I thought...., "what the......, another bottle of APOM"?!?!? Yes guys, this is almost identical -a 95% carbon copy to Francis Kurkdjian's creation. Interestingly, Kurkdjian lists: Orange blossom, Cedar & Amber as his ONLY notes in this blend.... And yet, despite Kobe using far more: such as Styrax, Brazilian Rosewood, Tonka Bean & Labdanum- they two come out basically copies of each other after the blending process.... I dare to say, perhaps very few of us would be able to readily distinguish the two in a blind, side-by-side comparison.... For me though, I detect certain nuances between the two: How so, the Brazilian Rosewood, Agarwood (Oud) and benjoin add certain subtle distinctions in Kobe.... Result? A beautiful creamy texture, supported by that vanilla-like, very gourmand appeal.... In the end, it can be illustration this way: two drivers set out on a journey to the same destination. One driver uses the expressway, while the other is content to use the back streets and side roads. Result? They inevitably arrive at the SAME destination... The proof here is that Francis Kurkdjian lists Amber as one of his 3 main notes, while Sergio Momo (Master Perfumer) utilizes the combination of benzoin with vanilla and labdanum to create that addictive accord of amber. CONCLUSION: BOTH GREAT fragrances, well-blended with distinct alluring phases... What it comes down to- Kobe brings a little bit MORE to the table and we rightly pay that added dollar for such luxury & performance. If you already own APOM, then I don't see the need at all to add Kobe and vice versa. However, if you have NEITHER, then I strongly suggest you fork out that extra $75 or so and get the Kobe... And as you indulge in its decadence, you'll see it's worth every penny it commands........

Got my sample from Luckyscent, I didn’t realise its for men until I read it in here, I think this is more like unisex. Very pleasant and mild very blended where nothing pops up specifically unless you searched for it and then I can recognise the lemon but its so tamed down thats its almost a new scent of its own. This could be because Im used to sharp zesty lemony scents before. I wouldnt mind my man smelling like this tho its not feminine either its really very subtle and unisex to my nose. By the way, there was something familiar about this smell but I couldn’t pin point what it was, now Im vaguely thinking there is something or some element that is similar to Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent. I’m testing this again today ahh so pleasant smell! It now actually reminds me of Serge Lutens Sergui. Just lovely! Have checked both note lists of YSL Kouros and Xerjoff Kobe, which of each are long but only similar notes to be found were: Bergamot, Tonka bean and musk, so maybe one of these scents is so strong that it hovers above the masses and dominates the entire group?

I first stepped into the house of Xerjoff in 2014, with the Shooting Star Collection, when I picked up Nio. Since then I have tried and owned many more but it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I doubled back and finally got my nose under the one that for one reason or another had evaded me. It had to happen this way as I would most likely not have appreciated it then the way I do now. A 5 year search for my next “signature” has come to an end. Kobe creates and projects a seemingly simple yet very dynamic profile that makes it a complete scent to my nose. Dried citrus peels mixed with fresh neroli that are later set in an old fine wooded box that radiates a sweet resinous musk that it has adopted through out its life’s journeys. Originally created to house valued objects, it has over time developed into a scent that I value enough to want to be continually tied to it. Kobe... amore mio

First things first this fragrance smells amazing! My mind was set on a xerjoff when I went to the scent bar, any xerjoff. The employees were really nice and helpful so they let me sniff several samples and testers,and the standouts for me were fars, nio and kobe. I will eventually get the first two but kobe was the clear winner between the three for my nose. I can describe this scent as citrusy, creamy, clean, very aromatic, smooth and just amazing! It is quite unique, just one spray on the chest another at the back of my neck and im set! Because of the oud and tonka notes I will use this fragrance more often in the evening and nio in the day time. In the end this scent is perfect for my nose and it lasts 7+hrs. Im extremely happy with my purchase! Sample before you purchase and trust in your nose. Overall 5 out of 5

I wish my pores could excrete this stuff; it's that good. I wore it exclusively on my wife's and my honeymoon, and it's like staring directly at the sunrise in the morning when the rest of the landscape is still thawing from the overnight frost. There is just something so carnal and lightly smoky that sets it apart from other orange blossoms, it really speaks to the very depths of my balls, makes me feel alive and ready to go buckin' bronco on a bull moose or latch onto the talons of a bald eagle and just let them take me wherever the hell they want, even somewhere dangerous like a plus-size park hopper wrestling match or eel-infested waters or Somalia. I will always have a bottle of this in my collection to remind myself of pure freedom and my crippling optometrist bill.

I feel this gets lost in the shuffle when it comes to the Shooting Stars collection from Xerjoff. I know Nio and Uden get most of the love, but I feel Kobe should get more love as well. This starts on my skin with a blast of citrus from the Bergamot and Orange then it transitions into the Neroli and it takes over through the life of the fragrance. The Orange Blossom also joins the party with the Neroli creating a clean, beautiful, yet classy vibe. This screams a boss scent whether you're wearing a suit and tie or either a white tee, a polo shirt, and a button-up with some shorts and AF One's A masterpiece of a fragrance from Xerjoff IMO This needs to be talked about more and this always be in my collection.

My first Xerjoff and one I am surprised has remained below my radar for a while. A gorgeous floriental. One of the most long-lasting neroli (orange blossom) scents I can ever imagine, with a slightly oud-like woody/ambery dry-down. I went through a 20ml decant over this summer and have already cracked open my 100ml bottle. Projection is superb as is longevity. It will possibly be my last Xerjoff though as well as my first. I haven't been impressed with the new bottles, neither does the smell of a reformulation excite me much. A definite thumbs up though.

Wow....This opens with a spectacular gorgeous neroli note that is citrus fresh and a little bit creamy. After a while it gets a little sweeter with a vanilla like smell. Eventually this develops into a cookie dough like aroma within the main neroli accord. It does seem a little out of place but the scent is so beautiful it hardly matters. As time moves forward the scent also develops a woody aroma within the blend. To sum up a breathtaking neroli fragrance that gets sweeter and a little woodier as time progresses. A must try fragrance!

If you like fresh citrus, this is the Cadillac. I had a chance to test this today and didn't absolutely love it upon first spray. I was actually going to purchase 40 knots, but I sprayed it on before I left the store to try on skin and after about 20 minutes, this stuff just smelled like no other citrus fragrance I've ever smelled. Strong, powerful and long lasting. Mostly, those aren't found in citrus based fragrances, but this is a different story. Kobe is all three and more. I'm getting a bottle as soon as I have a chance.

There is just something magical about Kobe. I'm not the biggest fan of citrus-dominant fragrances, primarily because of their ubiquity, oversaturation in the designer market for more affordable prices, and longevity issues. But Kobe blows other citrus-centric fragrances out of the water. Kobe has this strange plasticine note that reminds me of being a kid and drinking water from a rubber hose in the summertime that just makes it truly special and transportative.

@fanisgk You must be the Lord of fragrance!!! You are right and definitely half a million people world over are wrong. Even after over a million bottles sold you are still the don when it comes to fragrance taste and judging and quality. You probably need to get you nose checked and state your preference without putting down the hard work of these perfumers. Surely not fair of you. Aside that Xerjoff is good and beautiful and loved by many. Deal with it.

A somewhat dark flowery daytime scent to my nose. Can be worn at work but I received no comments. Nice quality but it comes with a high price tag. I blind bought this one but would not recommend doing that for the $$ unless u sample first. One of my early expensive blind buys, influenced by online reviews. I'm glad to have in my collection but would not buy again. The flowery note that stands out is Neroli.

Beautiful salty ambergris with orange and neroli. Quite fresh and uplifting with an salty animalic touch underneath. Pretty pleasing pricing, one of the better Xerjoff's in my opinion. If I owned this, I imagine it becoming a scent that you can just wack on when dealing with trouble when choosing scent and after application you would still feel satisified in choosing it.

This is Tom Ford Neroli Portofino that's been reimagined it smells better than Tom Ford and cleaner to me it smells like a Neroli lifesaver I've had Portfolio Neroli Canvas from Al Haramain and Neroli Portofino from Tom Ford.. Kobe from Xerjoff is the best Neroli fragrance on the market this is very wearable and not offensive all year round

The middle & base notes are much better than the top. When you first spray it, it's intense citrus. Not very feminine at all. After an hour or so, it develops into a beautiful fragrance. The citrus is still there, but it's softened by floral and woody notes. I wish the top notes weren't so sharp!

Gorgeous citrus fragrance, but doesn’t hold a candle to Nio. If you can just have one, pass on this. Otherwise, it’s a nice rotation fragrance for those times the people around you don’t deserve Nio. Still a love tho.

Beautiful neroli fragrance. The most beautiful around? Possibly. The soliflore concept lacks a bit of creativity, but if neroli is what you love, don't look further, you found your holy grail! Summer, 20+

This is supposed to be masculine but it is sweet and powdery dry down on me and I must have a full bottle my goodness it's almost like a creamy orange candy eaten in as spice shop

Yes, tons of neroli. Dry down is absolutely devine though. Lasts forever. Love it.

Kobe! One of the most stunning fragrance I have ever smelled! A masterpiece.

This is my favorite Xerjoff of all time. Great scent

EN I discovered this company at the fair Fragranze 2012 in Florence Italy. It wasn't easy to find then the store that sells fragrances to the regular customer like me, but in the end I was able to buy the whole line from the site ausliebezumduft.de I must say that there is a system to buy perfumes Xerjoff paying the relatively low price (the normal price of the bottle of 50 ml is up to US$ 260-325). Since the Shooting Stars line and the Oud Stars line are the masterpieces of artistic perfumery, it is worth to buy the Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two and Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set that cost US$ 208 for each of the first two sets and US$ 254 for the Oud collection set. Of course there are the Discovery Sets for XJ17/17 Collection (US$ 331) and XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (US$ 182), but personaly I do not like the last two lines, so I didn't order them. In each set there are 6 fragrances of 15ml each and therefore the price for a volume of 50 ml drops to US$116 for Shooting Stars collection and to US$142 for Oud Stars collection instead of USD$ 260 and US$ 325 for full version bottles. IT Ho scoperto questa casa di profumi alla fiera Fragranze 2012 a Firenze. Non era poi facile di trovare il negozio che vendesse i profumi ad un mortale come me, ma alla fine sono riuscito ad acquistare tutta la linea dal sito ausliebezumduft.de Devo dire che c'è un sistema per comprare i profumi di Xerjoff al prezzo relativamente molto basso (il prezzo normale della bottiglietta di 50 ml arriva a circa €200-250). Visto che tutta la linea Shooting Stars e la linea Oud Stars sono i capolavori della profumeria artistica, vale la pena a comprare il Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two e Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set che costano €160 per ciascuno dei primi due e €195 per la collezione Oud. Ovviamente esistono anche i Discovery Sets per XJ17/17 Collection (€255) e per XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (€140), ma quest'ultimi a me non piacciono. Nel ciascun set ci sono 6 profumi nelle bottigliette di 15ml e quindi il prezzo per un volume di 50ml crolla a €89 per Shooting Stars collection e €109 per Oud Stars invece di €200 per Shooting Stars e di €250 per Oud Stars.

Kobe is a fragrance constructed in the Kolnischwasser/Eau de Cologne style that has been popular for centuries. Inspite of whatever notes are listed in the marketing materials or on this web page, *functionally*, what you will see in practice, is that this is an Eau de Cologne style (again, EdC is not referring to the concentration!!) fragrance built around citruses and orange blossoms with a soft base. In Xerjoff fashion, some unique touches are added - a heavy musky cloud, a low indole long lasting orange flower heart, and hints of amber. Kobe ends up somehow being a long lasting fragrance for this genre. Ulltimately, for this fragrance style which has inspired thousands of other fragranced products over many centuries, a price tag of $200+ for 50mL (at discounters!) does not justify the small differences between Kobe and its competitors. Twice the volume of Acqua di Parma Essenza could be had for half the price at discounters, which shares the same general DNA in my opinion.

Xerjoff Kobe seems to promise a lot in what I expected to be a warm-weather-leaning fragrance, especially given the multitude of notes. In actually smelling it, though, it seems relatively straightforward. It starts with a hefty dose of citrus and labdanum, quickly exposing the strong neroli heart that takes over the fragrance with a very subtle blend into some of the base notes, most of which I cannot detect, because the neroli remains so heavy, even into the dry down. The petitgrain is the notable non-neroli contributor in the dry down, along with some of the woody notes in the base. To its credit, Kobe is sophisticated, even restrained, perhaps, as far as a warm weather scent, and it should function well both in day and night and in formal and casual situations. Performance seems fine, but I'm just not blown away by the scent itself, which pretty much needs to be the case with Xerjoff's pricing---in this case, $260 for 50ml on Luckyscent. 7 out of 10

Interesting opening, not a typical xerjoff citrus opening, this was more on the green side. Mid and drydown I also smelled lots of green notes, almost like smelling crunched up leaves or hay/straw. In fact, it kind of reminds me of how Amouage Beach Hut has that straw/hay smell (but the two are very different perfumes). I do not detect any Oud in Kobe and for me that is a great thing. This is a very wearable perfume, leans slightly masculine and has moderate projection and great longevity. Not sure if this is trying to be a fresh or green cologne. If looking for fresh citrus, look at Torino21, Renaissance or Nio which are all better.

One of the most interesting "florals" I have ever smelled. The white floral notes of the neroli are complimented excellently by the woody, vanilla, and ambroxan undertones with just enough of that orange citrus to keep it from getting overbearing. Florals aren't my cup of tea, and I don't see myself buying a bottle of this. However, I can definitely see the appeal to this fragrance for anyone who loves white florals, but is looking to spice it up just a bit.

The scent of a whole, complete orange tree: orange blossoms, orange fruits, fresh woods and leaves! Intensely green and rindy citrus opening -- but less aggressively bitter than Nio -- beneath which sits a big block of sweet ambery woods and light white florals. Leans orangey but mixed with a touch of lemon-limey bergamot. The citrus fades to a fizzy orange accent as it dries down. Moderately soft projection over 2-3hr, longevity 8-10hr.

Forget the note listings above: Grape popsicle. I cannot explain it, but it smells like a fruit popsicle. It even smells “cool”, like out of the freezer. It’s pretty cool. I get compliments. Lots. But if you’re trying to determine the scent via the internet, my vote is “popsicle”

Heavy on the neroli, but I'm not detecting much else, especially among the base notes listed. Many reviewers compare this to APOM Pour Homme. On my skin they are not similar. I disliked APOM. I like Kobe better, but not enough for me to wear regularly.

fresh orange zest, strong neroli some green notes. this is what I get from this scent. I don't really get the oud and woody notes, however I think the scent is nice, very refined. For citrus lovers with a puffy wallet worth to try! :)

Acqua Di Parma's country cousin. Neroli rolling around in fresh hay while memaw bakes biscuits in the kitchen and sister breathes on you after eating a purple PEZ. Grade: C+ Quick take: neroli candy hay biscuit

A nice tonka neroli. It smells like MFK APOM, but more sweet, much less of the animalics here. Enjoyable wear, and this can work at night also, this is not just for hot weather.

Kobe is a green, amouage reflection man! I dont like the first 10 min. After that its really nice. Happy i got a crazy good deal on this tho.

Animalic, dirty orange. Smooth blend. I'm down with it. 8.5/10

Xerjoff Kobe opens with a bright citrus and neroli combination that carries an unusual tortilla-like nuance, alongside a layered structure where a clean, airy, slightly sweet top contrasts with a woody, slightly dirty base driven by resinous elements and an oud-like funk, with occasional sweet cereal-like impressions adding to the unconventional character. As it moves into the mid, the composition blends into a more unified floral-fruity profile led by neroli, with a green aromatic edge and a resinous woody background still present, before the fruit aspects fade and the base develops a slightly smoky warmth that begins to envelop the lighter floral elements, gradually shifting the balance toward a warmer, more base-driven structure. Into the drydown, the floral and fruity elements recede almost entirely, leaving a resinous, woody profile with lingering oud presence that remains relatively stable and slowly fades while maintaining decent strength. Overall, the opening and extended neroli character, particularly the tortilla-like aspect, were not enjoyable, and while the drydown was more pleasant with a solid resinous woody profile and good longevity, the fragrance is clearly high quality but did not come together in a satisfying way across the full wear. 5/10

Has a very bitter citrus opening, kinda like orange peel, but less zesty. I see the comparisons to Nio, but Nio is almost like squeezing lemon juice on yourself for the first hour of opening before it dries down really sweet. Kobe dry down is more subtle, almost a skin scent after 2 hours, or so I thought initially until I started kicking a ball around a bit. Then the neroli & oud came bursting out again, which makes me think perhaps this is not the best cold weather wear. Will put my decant away & test again in the Australian spring/summer, as I'm not really active enough to keep my body temperature high, probably like Kobe Bryant did... =P Edit: Wearing in Australia's 400C summertime & this fragrance is in full bloom! A beautiful bouquet of bitter citrus that projects nicely creating a lovely scent bubble. Still not quite too my taste though, but I think it's just personal preference. This is an old fashioned green fragrance, a job that my cheap Moschino Uomo would do at a fraction of the cost. I generally prefer my Xerjoff a bit sweeter & more unique, like Torino 21 or Renaissance, Iommi or Decas, Ivory Route or Naxos...

I get two main things in the fragrance, neroli and rosewood. I like the neroli, but not a fan of the added rosewood. It takes away from the freshness of for me. Not for me.

This one doesn’t work for me either. It has too much petigrain and neroli and it’s rather dirty and harsh smelling.

From reading the notes, I expected this to be marvelously fresh and citrus, like the masterpiece Nio and in all fairness, it is bright and citrus but unfortunately for me, there's something about this that ultimately comes off as feminine. It opens up very smoothly and fresh and remains that way during the dry down but whatever is contributing to it's "sweet notes" keeps it firmly sharp and feminine throughout. I only sprayed twice from a 1.5 ml sample but it became clear that this would border on "headache inducing" to me within an hour or so. Too thin and sharply sweet. Looking at the notes, is it possibly the Brazilian rosewood? I'm also convinced that I'm not a fan of oud. Oud reminds me of something medicinal I always smell at the dentist office. In it's defense, this does have monster longevity like every Xerjoff I've tried so definitely try this before buying, though at it's price, I'm sure that bit of advice isn't necessary for most people.

Animalistic orange. There is something lewd about this one. I bought it and wore it a few times, but the raunchy sweet orange accord is not my style. If you like Versace Green Jeans, you’ll probably appreciate Kobe’s more refined interpretation of citrus and musk. If you also happen to like Musc Ravageur, you’ll probably relish the stinky animalic note in Kobe. Kobe is like an orange creamsicle licked by a St. Bernard. I choose my words carefully. Like Musc Ravageur, it reminds me of one of those sickly-sweet flavoured dog bones you can smell when you walk down a certain aisle in a pet store. I won’t lie, to some people (including me) Kobe smells downright offensive. Whenever I catch a faint whiff, I’m transported to a semen-soaked smut shop up some seedy alley in Mumbai. Of course, a little artistic repulsion can be a good thing if you want to rock a divisive niche scent that makes a powerful impression.

Kobe starts off with a mix of green, bitter, herbal things that soon reveals itself as bitter citrus peel, possibly grapefruit and the petitgrain that is reported to be in there. The citrus peels are eventually joined by a soapy citrus blossom. After about an hour a strong tonka (coumarin) note arises. To me, the bitter citrus and tonka clash terribly, and together produce a motor-oil like note. I don’t smell much of the oud and woods that are supposed to be in the scent - they are completely overshadowed by the citrus and tonka. In the final drydown, after the citrus has finally gone away, what is left is a pleasant, sweetish, slightly woody tonka. The beginning and end are not bad, but this perfume is definitely not something that I would wear due to the clashing notes, the soapiness, and the motor oil smell right in the heart of it.

I agree with RMB18. However, this combination of those descriptors is exactly what I get from Terre de Sarment Frapin. There is tons of grape, as well as a darker, resinous vibe to the scent. You'll have to wait a little bit for the similarities to emerge though. Kobe starts out much more floral and citrusy (neroli, orange blossom, and orange). It is only after about an hour or two that you get the similarity to Terre de Sarment. Sure the performance isn't as great, but the scent is essentially spot on. For the price difference, you could pick up 2-3-100ml bottles for the price of 50ml of Kobe.

My 1st sampling from Xerjoff is a letdown. I don't detect any of the base notes. All I get is neroli citrus and a pinch of labdanum. I got lucky from a member who shipped me a decant but I don't think I need to sample more from this house which has a bad reputation anyway. Don't get me wrong, I love the opening it's just the drydown should should be sweeter as it has benzoin and Tonka bean. It reminds me of a few Atelier scents which are much better and cheaper.

Definitely not a good fragrance. It's bearable, but it’s harsh, has bitter smell that I don’t like. Even if you love neroli at the end of the day it’s a neroli fragrance, and it don’t worth the money. There are many other neroli fragrances that are much better and costs less than half of the price of this.

With all of those beautiful notes, why is it so nasty? Just proves that blending is very important . And that just one wrong ingredient can ruin the whole perfume. I’m surprised Xerjoff actually released this terrible fragrance. Shame on Xerjoff.

Excellent quality. Scent, wise, I ́ll pass. Not a fan of The combination of orange blossom, neroli and tonka bean here. Must agree with alfrarom: Kobe and APOM Pour Homme are identical.

I cant imagine that there are tons off people saying that this is a masterpiece. From my perspective, this frag is totally a waste of money. Among citrus brothers (Nio, Uden), this one is freaking terrible. From the very first time after spraying, I got the sourness of citrus (maybe neroli, I can say that this is the dirties neroli that I've smelled). Neroli is supposed to bring the tenderness, relax, peace, but this one is note. And 15' later, the animalic and oud accrod pop up and ruin the entire the scent. The heart and base note of this bring the hardness and I can not stand it any longer. This stuff has to be a big flop of Shooting Star line - among with Oesel. Shouldnt buy this, save ur money.

This is a very odd one. I’m a huge neroli fan and while I don’t love xerjoff they do make quality clean citrus scents. I don’t know what this one is supposed to be. It smells like some sort of fungal dirt with citrus hidden somewhere inside. It settles down after a while into an average citrus scent but by that time I’m done with it. Hard pass.

Got a sample of this because i was so impressed with Nio that i wanted to try the rest of Xerjoffs "Super citruses". this stuff reminds me of a urinal cake at the end of a busy night in a late bar. Its absolutley foul smelling to my nose. Definitely sample before buying this one.

اولین دهه از قرن بیست و یکم. در هر نقطه‌ای از کره زمین شاهد اعلام وجود یک برند نیش هستیم. برندهایی که رشدشون شبیه رشد سلول‌های سرطانی شده. برندهایی که به شدت دنبال تولید عطرهایی با روایح عجیب و غریب و تند وگرم و گاهاً زننده هستن. به نظر میرسه این برندها با هم دیگه مسابقه نیش بودن گذاشتن و نیش از دید اون‌ها یعنی عجیب. تو این شرایط وضعیت شاخص‌های عطربازی از شاخص‌های آلودگی هوای تهران بدتره. تو این اتمسفر ناسالم یه برند ایتالیایی نوظهور تصمیم میگیره بر خلاف جهت جریان آب یه حرکت داشته باشه و سراغ یه فرمول قدیمی پرریسک میره. مرکبات-شکوفه-چوب. پرریسک به این علت که ممکنه افرادی که برای سال‌ها لوب‌های بویاییشون با عطرهای به دردنخور به اصطلاح نیش سازگار شده، دیگه تمایلی به یک عطر خنک اونم از یه برند نیش نداشته باشن. بالخره سال 2009 برند سرژف عطر کوبه رو معرفی میکنه. معجزه‌ای تمام عیار از شکوفه و مرکبات وچوب. با اولین اسپری کوبه روی دست رایحه مرکباتی با پیشتازی ترنج و کمی لادن رومیشه حس کرد.لادن کم رنگه و با گذر زمان ضعیف و ضعیف‌تر میشه. کمی بعدتر شکوفه‌ها وبعد ازاون برگ مرکبات اعلام حضور میکن. کیفیت وتغییر نت‌ها کاملاً واضحه. همینجاست که کیفیت، چیدمان و رقص نت‌ها به شما یه تلنگر میزنه، جدیتر باشید. چند دقیقه بعد نوبت به روایح چوبی میرسه. کمی جلوتر ترکیب نسبتاً کثیفی از برگ وعود وگایاک رو میشه حس کرد و مشک وظیفه پشتیبانی از بقیه حاضران رو به عهده داره. در ادامه تا پایان کار پرتقال قویتر میشه، ترنج جون دوباره‌ای میگره پس زمینه کار چوبی میشه و فضای پودری-گلی بر تمام نت‌ها حاکم میشه. تو این مرحله با رایحه‌ای تلخ، عمیق و کاملاً معطر با فضای گلی- مرکباتی- چوبی مواجهیم که به راحتی میشه تشخیص داد نیازمند به کارکتری مشخص هست. کارکتری متین و باوقار که هیچ اصراری به تحمیل خودش به دیگران نداره، به شدت جذاب واحترام برانگیزه و وقتی نیست خیلی‌ها دوست دارن تا در موردش با هم صحبت کنن. این عطر علیرغم قرار گرفتن بین کارهای خنک در عین داشتن یه لبخند و شیرینی گفتار همیشگی به هیچ وجه لوده نیست. کاملا شیک و جاافتاده. پخش بوی این کار کاملاً متناسب با کارکترش هست. خوبه، به راحتی به مشام میرسه اما به هیچ وجه خودش رو به کسی تحمیل نمیکنه. ماندگاری هم کاملاً مناسب برای یه کار مورد استفاده در روزای گرم و معتدله. در آخر برای اینکه متوجه بشید دیگران چه رایحه‌ای رو از شما حس میکنن، چند پاف از این عطر رو تو یه اتاق اسپری کنید و بعد از چند دقیقه به اون اتاق برگردید تا معجزه کوبه رو حس کنید. 10 از 10 تنها نمره ایست که میتوان به این شاهکار داد.
