This fragrance has been a really pleasant surprise. It's got a lighter, airy character with a fizzy, almost carbonated rose note that immediately reminded me of Rose Athonite. The incense is more of a light, powdery style—sort of inspired by nag champa but not exactly the same—and it dances really nicely with the rose to give it a sparkling vibe.
Now, on performance: it’s definitely on the lighter side. It's not as strong, rich, or long-lasting as the fragrance it's inspired by, but that's something I personally enjoy. I just wish it hung around a bit longer because I’m kind of an opening addict—I’ll re-spray just to experience that initial burst over and over. So yes, it’s a bit linear and doesn’t evolve a whole lot, but that bright, poppy rose is just so enjoyable.
A couple of other things: the sprayer is fantastic, and even though it’s an 80ml bottle rather than a 100ml, it’s still a great value at the price. In fact, I’ve already gone through about 60% of my bottle in just a couple of weeks because I love that opening so much. I even picked up a backup bottle already, which is pretty rare for me considering I’ve got over 300 bottles in my collection.
One more note: even though it’s inspired by a much richer, deeper fragrance, I don’t see it as a replacement or a clone. It stands on its own, and it’s more of an inspiration rather than a direct copy. The original is deeper, more cedar-and-ink heavy, and the rose is more present there. But this one does its own thing and I love it for that.
So yeah, it’s a bit of a long review, but I wanted to cover it all. Overall, it’s a great fragrance if you enjoy a lighter, effervescent rose and you don’t mind re-spraying now and then.
Love it
Not your typical floral. The elimi stands out and the blend of all the notes makes this very unique especially when you first apply, towards the dry down and thereafter, there is a flowery soapiness that reminds me of how certain scents smelled when I was a young girl. Can definitely see this as unisex...it runs right down the middle...not to sweet to be feminine leaning, not too spicy to be too manly.
What I consider a unisex fragrance, the best fragrance I have ever smelled. I'm in my 50s.. best fragrance ever. NONE are better. After I bought a bottle I immediately ordered 7 more. I wish this came in a 1000 ml. Size. Strong rose incense smell with endurance & projection. Compliments come when worn.
