Trust

This fragrance has gravitas. It works beautifully in cooler weather (autumn, winter) or evenings out — the woody-oud and incense base suit those moods. That said, because it opens with the raspberry/rose and remains elegant rather than heavy-oriental, it could also work for daytime when you want something elevated but not ultra-loud. I found it particularly suited to dinner events, gallery openings, or any setting where you want to feel polished and thoughtful. Trust would be a strong pick for something meaningful — perhaps a date night, or a solo outing where you want your fragrance to “set the scene.” Great for lovers of woody/oud-based fragrances who still appreciate a fruity/floral opening. High-quality composition with interesting layering of notes (raspberry & rose + birch + incense/saffron) — it avoids being one‐dimensional. Very good performance (which I value highly in my collection). Versatile in terms of gender: definitely unisex in feel, though I personally lean into its richer feminine side.

"I'm always on standby, waiting for your texts. Our little secret rendezvous are what keep me going in this crazy world. We promised to keep it casual, but I can’t help myself anymore. The way you look at me, the way you touch me... I just don’t want anything else." Hey scented fam! I hope you're all feeling great 💫 I'm currently relaxing at the cottage after an amazing dinner (pasta, of course!), and I’m so happy today to share with you this incredible new brand. Introducing ZAVYLA, a beautiful Italian niche house founded by Victoria McAuley and Giancarlo Farris. Their first-ever collection, The Love Collection, features eight exquisite fragrances — and today, I’m telling you all about the captivating You & I. You & I, to me, is the perfect reunion of femininity and masculinity, expressed in the most sensual way. Like yin and yang, it feels like a never-ending waltz between two partners — a flawless exchange of energy. The fragrance opens with an exquisite fusion of raspberry and rose, harmoniously balanced with a touch of oud that adds depth and sensuality. The heart unveils benzoin and birch, bringing a sweet, woody nuance, while the base blends saffron and incense, creating a captivating and enchanting finish. It’s absolutely beautiful. Not only is the scent gorgeous, but the presentation is stunning — have you seen those colorful resin caps? True works of art. If you’re not familiar with the brand yet, I totally recommend checking them out on Instagram and on their website.
