Of the Immortals

It opens up with coconut and bergamot on my skin. The coconut is a dry kind, I see why alot of people say it reminds them of toasted coconut. I think of those roasted coconut drinks by foco from the asian market I used to drink as a child. It doesnt smell like sunscreen or summery but it can pass off as an evening summer scent with campfires on the beach as each heavy note in this juice is balanced with something uplifting. The bergamot is not loud as I thought it might of been, it was mellowed out by the coconut which shortly transitions to the salt and coffee, it's like a light roast coffee, gently brewed. It's not prominent, also quickly sinks into the sweet drydown. And boy the dry down is sweeeeet. The honey comes off as more of a base scent then mid on me, like its drenching jasmine flowers where u get just a peep of milky fresh floral through the sweetness, a dose of praline balanced with fig to give it a pop of freshness, a glass of rum on the rocks, and strong and a clean musk from than orcanox is the drydown for me. Very prominent of woods throughout but it's like clean, light, dry, slightly sweet kind. Like few pieces of Palo Santo sitting in a bowl with pods of vanilla. Everything is extremely well blended, with alot of complimentary notes. I really wanted to give it a good well rounded opinion, so I didnt post anything until gave it about a week of thorough testing. I was hoping my nose was just asnomic to it but as beautiful of a scent it is, it doesn't last long on me. Although, it could be a plus for some who like to change up fragrances in midday or evening. About 2 hours (arms length projection), then it becomes a skin scent which maybe last about 2-3 hours. Unfortunately, I think because it has orcanox, a form of Ambergris, my skin ate up this fragrance (did the same for Evening Mystique which also has orcanox). If you are curious on how orcanox smells like, it's very close to the molecule used in Juliette's Got a Gun, Not a Perfume except less synthetic. Same vibes fersure tho. I still think this was worth buying for the uniqueness, and for the size and quality the pricing is great! Plus, I'm supporting my favorite youtubers and George seems like a gem, very kind and caring about his customers! A company I don't mind backing. Thank you for this journey, I look forward to other offerings from the World of Zaharoff.

Never have I opened a fragrance and smelled the atomizer and immediately fell in love. Now wait....not that hopeless romantic Hollywood type love. NO! I'm talking about a toxic love. The kind of love you'd go to jail for. The kind of love that makes you immediately buy a backup bottle because you don't want this feeling to end (yeah, I did!). This is the kind of love that reminds me why I love fragrances, and Curly Scents' 'of the immortals' is a beautiful fragrance that introduces itself in a strong way. Full disclosure, I adored Curly Scents (Andrea and Anthony) first offering 'Siren', but I never got to fully enjoy it as I left my bottle in Cuba this past year on my birthday. So, it was a sad reference point, but OFM is a welcoming nostril enticing gem that makes my lost Siren bottle not hurt as much. OFM opens with Honey that screams off the atomizer, and like opening Pandora's box, you get the rush of Bergamot, Brandy, Coffee, and a linear salt note that plays throughout. I can detect the Fig as well. Praline and Tonka are dancing in the dry down and you can also feel the musk, Amber, and Oud, which is blended beautifully. There are hints of PDM Herrod, Kilian Back to Black, and Kerosene Followed, but this doesn't clone either of them. OFM simply walked into the room and said hey bitches, I'm way better. AND IT IS! This is my new love, and we're committed because you're a 120 ml, and I just bought a backup, so we are in this. Thank you, Andrea and Anthony, for this vision of a scent and George Zaharoff for bringing them back as part of the #Zedcreators. This is truly a magnificent addition to your Frangrance world, and knowing that it is a limited edition makes me so happy I got two of these in my life, however toxic our love may be.

Second full wearing of Zaharoff Of the Immortals, the second Zed creators’ release from Andrea Charls / Curly Scents, following The Siren, part of the initial Zed creators trio in 2021. Like The Siren, Of the Immortals is an intoxicating mostly-gourmand—sweet, alluring, and a little resinous. I could classify it as being boozy, tropical, ambery, musky, or more, so it has a lot going on while being quite accessible. The Siren is a bit darker than Of the Immortals, which I find to be a more a little lighter, less spicy or animalic-adjacent, more syrupy, and, while comparably seductive, a bit easier to wear (for most, I imagine) and a bit more of a gourmand, as most of the listed notes indicate. Of the Immortals smells godly, an easy winner for gourmand lovers while not being too sharp or sweet, despite having more of a syrupy quality than The Siren. It hits the right spot of being a smooth gourmand that’s fun while still having some intrigue and mystery to it, as I would have a tough time picking out some of the notes, with the standouts for me being tonka, praline, rum, amber, and musk. I think everyone could get their own notes out of it, and I suspect that each time I wear it, it might seem a little bit different in terms of which notes are emphasized, a fun feature. It performs quite well, and as with the other two Zed creators’ releases of 2022, is an uncannily-great price, at $160 for 120ml in EDP concentration, somehow a significant reduction in cost per ml from the 2021 initial Zed releases at $119 for 60ml. Overall, this another outstanding release from Andrea, the Zed Creators, and George Zaharoff. 8 out of 10

I absolutely love love love this to death! <3 I've never fallen in love with a frag from first spray like with this one. I am very lucky that I got one of the last bottles available, and am not wasting or parting with a drop of this beautiful juice! <3 I just wish this was still in production so that I could have gotten a full backup bottle later, because this is a scent I would love to have for life. It's sweet but not sugary, very balanced and dries down to cozy woods without any skank or overpowering harshness. Soft vanilla woods. At the start, I definitely get rum, coconut, honey, praline sweetness and coffee, blended to perfection. It's a bit hard to pick out individual notes because it's so well balanced and blended, but that does not take away from how much I love it. 🥰 Don't get a prominent jasmine, salt or fig, but it's surely in there somewhere. 😁 My skin eats fragnances, but this one lasts for roughly 4-5 hours before its a skin scent that others still pick up for 2-3 hours more in close proximity. Sadly, I go noseblind as soon as I spray it. Though I can feel wafts of it from time to time. Compliment getter for me. A colleague thought it was a grown up caramel scent, haha and asked what I was wearing that was so good. First time I wore it, I sprayed 3-4 sprays, mistakenly thought it was very weak, and a colleague/friend could pick it up as soon as I entered the office 50 m away, haha. He loved it. 🙌

I’m getting sweet leather, but complex. I’m not familiar with oud but I’m guessing that’s where the leather comes from. I don’t really pick up on the sandalwood. This is so hard to describe without being more familiar with oud. It’s 50% something other than the sweet notes and 50% sweet notes but that balance keeps it far from feeling sugary. The sweet notes feel very unspecific but not in the way that some of those REALLY unspecific sweet notes do like in Ariana Grande Cloud/Baccarat, or anything with sugar cube or caramel notes. It’s more like all of the sweet elements listed in the composition are in such equal proportions that none of them are particularly distinguishable. Anyway I love it but would never spend $300 on it. Especially with such poor projection. You’d have to use a really heavy hand on this to even smell it on yourself the way you want to. More masc than femme but would make such a cool signature scent for a woman. I would be all over this stuff if it was closer to $100. Kind of wish this sample had never even landed in my hands.

OMG! This is insanely good! Truly unisex! This is so intoxicating alluring and magnetizing. I am in love with scent composition. I don’t even know how to describe notes, it opens with boozy coffee with sweet note of honey and slight zest, barely detectable...Thank it dries down to toasted coconut, a little bit of tonka or vanilla, oud is definitely there but very smooth and not animatic. I can also pick up very well praline, fig, amber wood and sandal...The fragrance itself is very complex and multifaceted...There is something slightly medicinal in thi concoction....Bravo to perfumer and creator! In terms of performance, it last good 8 hours and projects within arm length which is more than enough for me. I see this one worn more during night time, for a date or event, when you want people to turn heads...But I also believe that you can wear whatever you want whenever and wherever you feel like :) And I have to mention the price, it’s a steal for such niche perfume! $160 for 120 ml is very affordable! I will buy more Zaharoff perfumes for sure!

Gorgeous!!!! I'm not sure id call it a gourmand though? The woody notes are a bit too prevalent for me to say it's a true gourmand. I definitely get the honey, salt and woody notes throughout the life of the fragrance. Off the top I get the booze, coffee, and bergamot. As it starts to dry down it quickly sweetens up when the coconut, tonka and praline come though. When it's dry it's a sexy ambery woody vanilla with a hint of that honey and salt still mingling in the background. I have only had it for two days, but I wore it twice. Yesterday I was modest with my spraying, and today I went to town! I could smell it all day (8+ hours) both times. It gave a very nice scent bubble, and I caught whiffs all day long. I think this is a true unisex fragrance, and it would be incredibly sexy on a man. This fragrance is unique, but I do see some similarities to Gris charnel, with the way the wood and tonka come through. Again, they are totally different fragrances!!! But, I think most people who like that, would enjoy this too.

This is a beautiful fragrance. On first spray, I immediately detect the boozy rum note accompanied by toasted coconut. The coconut note quickly fades into the background as coffee, sea salt, and woody notes take over. The impression at this point is something akin to a chocolatey salted caramel with nuances of coffee. It is a sweet fragrance but not cloying and in the later stages, I thought I detected a light, dry tobacco note. Though its not listed in the notes, I am also picking up on a cardamom-like note. I don't detect any jasmine, fig or oud (apart from the general woodiness in the base). Overall, the fragrance is very unisex and more suited to winter nights. It is also VERY long lasting on my skin and I suspect a few sprays will be enough to leave a lasting trail. I've been watching Curly Scents for a while now and have come to respect her fragrance choices. She did a great job with this one.

Of The Immortals is straight up 🔥🔥🔥. First time I smelled the decant I purchased from @fatboyfragrancereviews I was in total lust. Then I saw the presentation and knew I needed as large a bottle as they made. Sweet, smokey leather opening with a hint of vanilla. The middle gets a little coconutty and that always puts me in a beach frame of mind. The base notes just make this soar. Listed as vanilla, sandalwood, oud, musk and amber, I get whiffs of all five and they really work on my skin. It’s about mid level pricing and performs as such. That’s not a complaint from me. I don’t buy fragrances for the performance, I buy them for the smell. For me it’s top shelf. Presentation and smell are both amazing. Pretty sure CoCoLoCo is next on my agenda!

This fragrance is to die for! One of the most gourmand scents in my collection. On initial spray, I get toasted coconut, vanilla, and praline. Very nutty and sweet. After it dries down, the booziness comes through with fig and tonka bean dancing in the background. This is perfectly unisex. I would love this on a man, but this is also the type of fragrance that seduces one. It is cozy and sexy all in one. I went and bought a second bottle because I see myself wearing this all the time. If you want a true gourmand, look no further. For the amount you get and the quality of this fragrance, the price can't be beat. Also, they don't smell identical, but I get a little bit of Penhaligons Changing Constance and Minuit et Demi.

I really like this. It seems truly unisex to me. I’d really enjoy it on a man, and I’m loving it on me! Definitely starts off smoky/woody. As it dries down, the sweeter notes begin to come through, but the musk and sandalwood keep it from going too cloying. I’m not getting a lot of oud from it, which is good because I am pretty skittish when it comes to oud. The lactonic quality is present through all stages; it’s a creamy fragrance. I’m also not getting any jasmine - which again, I think is ok. I’m pulling a lot of tonka, coconut, honey, salt, and sandalwood. Bergamot is definitely there at the start. I just really, really love this.

Took me a second to figure out that this reminds me of Un Bois Vanille by Serge Lutens. That dry coconutty vanilla. But Of the Immortals is waaaaaaay more wearable and pleasant. Has a softness and powdery-ness that cuts through the sweetness, whereas Bois Vanille is very smokey and waxy. Of the Immortals is what I wanted Un Bois Vanille to be. Sensual and alluring, yet comfortable and intimate. Edit: I’m obsessed. Bought a bottle. Longevity lasts 10+ hours. Projection is solid moderate throughout. And it’s just so subtly sexy and yummy. Great for all year round. AMAZING JOB CURLY

I love this fragrance! I ordered a second bottle after experiencing the scent. I have many gourmand fragrances (mostly designers and celebrity fragrances) and this is my favorite. It may be just me, but I get a mango vibe—like Haitian or Hawaiian mango peel where you can smell the sweetness still. The closest I’ve ever come to knowing how a fig smells is with fig newton bars, so I don’t know how it really smells😅. It’s a beautiful creation and I’m so happy for CurlyScents and World of Zaharoff🎉

This is a sweet gourmand fragrance with coconut as the main star, it kind of reminds me of Bounty the chocolate bar with additional booziness Opens with a coconut note that comes off a bit salty, but not for long As it dries down it becomes much smoother, still boozy coconut that is soft and delicious with sandalwood and vanilla and still a bit salty The ultimate dry down is softy musky woody notes and it becomes less sweet, it is more like a warm cozy hug

Just received mine today and what can I say, but OH MY! This one is hands down my favorite of the three new releases. I definitely get the booziness and the coconut and maybe the praline. I just applied it like ten minutes ago and I'm already enveloped in a heavenly scent bubble. This stuff is creamy gourmand goodness, and I think I might order a second bottle. Definitely the best I've ever smelled from Zaharoff. Totally unisex, straight down the line.

Smoldering coconut with a woody vanilla dry down. Sexy and sophisticated on my skin with a hint of tropical vibes. If you like the coconut in le beau like I do you might like this. But it’s a warm coconut and more exotic with less of a salty creamy suntan feel as with le beau. It’s closer to Noir Extreme parfum in that it’s smoky and elegant. Starts off beautiful and ends up more beautiful. Date night feel, but I’d rock this any time. Really gorgeous.

TF Tobacco vanille + added Toasted coconut.... Or Black phantom with added toasted coconut 🧐 I’m a female and I adore it on me and on my boyfriend! This toasted coconut note is the bomb! I ale it can swear there’s a bit of tobacco in here somewhere but subtle... if I want ti be extra - if layer it with Angels share one evening (autumn / winter ) as I feel those two together would be the ultimate boozy - sweet - spicy gourmand. Intoxicated...!

Love at first sniff! And I finally got my hands on a bottle, this was a limited edition release and sold out everywhere. This is the best warm, slightly sweet, chocolate, cozy oud- and I'm sensitive to oud, but it's not overpowering this fragrance. It's so well blended it's hard for me to pick up most of these notes, especially bergamot and jasmine.

What a beautiful perfume! I just took it off from the drawer where it was stored for a month and, despite the fact that it is too hot in my city today, I used it and I loved it!! It is a sweet but not overwhelming toasted coconut scent, with a hint of liquor and oud (almost imperceptible). It is creamy, soft and a little bit ambered. Gorgeous!!

smells like s sweeter Gourmandy version of Penhaligons Tragedy of Lord George, or like you are wearing it at a movie theater enjoying your Buttery Salty Popcorn and a Pack of Rollo's has also a Waxy musky Color Crayon vibe at times as well with Roasted Coconuts..! Love it will be trying to get a 3rd bottle!
