At the start, almonds and anise refer to another composition - El Secreto de Sus Ojos, but here they were not allowed to roam like that. The aroma is also closer to gourmand, but not so sweeping. The same shade of tobacco cherry is presented here thinner. The spicy woody notes are also not very intense. He starts with shades of moisture, balances between these shades, but then the gourmet beginning of the fragrance wins. Sugar, vanilla, almonds, only after that there are light floral notes. The tobacco on me wandered a little at the start and retreated. The result is a calmer gourmet than El Secreto de Sus Ojos. Here almonds with vanilla will subside to a calmer degree, while there are few other shades.
It sounds soft, the sillage is average, in terms of gender, there is a 100% female scent on my nose. Resins are only a little complementary to the base. I liked that the aroma remains airy, not overloaded, there is no excess of sweetness. In terms of structure or ideas, I didn't find anything special, neat work on a popular topic. Sounds better than a modern suite can afford, for example.
The first seconds really shimmered with shades, but almost immediately sat down on me with tobacco. The musky base sounds too masculine on me, not comfortable. Bright vanilla and amber give an oriental feel, but the aroma still falls short of the oriental. The pyramid is painted very beautifully, but in fact I hear a couple of notes of everything, a beautiful story did not happen.
Not a bad gourmand-niche amber aromatics (in this case, with the author's favorite cold iris note and the time-tested cherry stone), but ... alas, once again overheard by well-known brands. Those. this can again be confused with either Montal, or Initio, or with a hundred other brands, the number of which is already spinning. Unisex, but again in the feminine side.
I am not commenting on the prices of fifty bucks for 10 ml. As is the name of the brand with an Italian style and a completely Russian spelling error. Unstable, like most of the author's creations. Dies quickly and quietly, without unnecessary torment :)
And - for the umpteenth time - the musk base so beloved by the author (albeit an expensive one!) At its end gives off a cheap cologne, which certainly has nothing to do with niche perfumery.
I love this amazing aroma dearly! I love and hope that maestro Karov will create pure perfume, or at least eau de parfum. For I want to want to wear his creations longer, and to sound louder!
