  1. I have an imp of this. It's juicy, warm, leathery, minty, fruity/citrus, & grounded with kush & tea. The orchid & tea starts to blossom & mix with the citrus notes really well. This is a night out perfume. Gotta have a bottle!

     


  2. I have a couple of imps of this. The first impressions are lotus & sandalwood. It smells like a necco wafer kind of. Cedar, saffron & then spiced bark follows. It's an interesting scent & I would probably buy a bottle.


  3. Received as an imp today. The vial is dark, deep brown. I can tell this packs a hit before applying. Very manly, & wild. Musky, resinous, & invigorating. Like someone else said, I think I smell cinnamon or clove too. I'd buy a bottle just to enjoy it aging.

     


  4. I love it. Reminds me of the fuzzy pink flowers growing on trees where I lived as a kid. Smells the same too. Sweet, floral, & simple. It smells like I imagined. Honey bells smelling like a toned down honeysuckle, while the osmanthus has a fuzzy pink warm but sweet play going on. I had to look up what these flowers look like, & I was wrong. I pictured pink puffballs for osmanthus, but no it's clusters of white flowers. Honey bells look like cigars.


  5. I've had this bottle since 2018. I love it. It was my venture into something darker & mysterious. It has those qualities too. It's rich, sweet, airy & a little wine smelling. I wore this to work one day, but stopped for an energy drink. The guy behind me in line kept taking deep breaths & moaning. I dunno if that was me that did that to him, but it was very creepy. Anyways...

     

     


  6. I have 2 reviews.

     

    *This review is for my 2018 bottle. It is powdery, soft, slightly sweet, all skin musk on me. Coming back to this now, & studying the notes again, I'm surprised at what this has. The Star Jasmine is very faint. The myrrh & sandalwood are the beautiful stars in this. Combined with the creamy skin musk this is a very intimate scent.

     

    **This review is for my 2021 bottle. It has that heady quality in it from the skin musk. I get zero star jasmine. Some pink musk is there. Dried I smell the sandalwood, & creamy musk. Will have to age more.


  7. Received a decant of this. I feel so blessed!  The sweet opium & lotus has a liquorice smell almost. I get amber & pine resin next. Finally, the rose otto amps the opium & they blossom after everything else fades. I wish I could get a full bottle of this now.


  8. Swapped for a second bottle of this! This bottle smells sweeter than my first one. I don't get any stinky oudh in this thankfully. The rose sandalwood combined with blush amber is something I can't get enough of. Sweet vetiver & red oudh are playing friendly in this bottle. Oh it's so nice. Planning to give a decant to my mother.


  9. I just wanted to add that I could swear that I do not have the same thing everyone is reviewing here, because they are all so favorable & smelling nice things, but I do have the exact same thing. I really can't get over how it smells in the bottle. It's repulsive. Nothing like the notes people are getting. But once I put it on it changes to a completely different tune. It's a fun trick to pop on my wife. Occasionally I'll have her blind smell the bottle, gag, then she'll smell my wrist, & say "WTF?? It's amazing!" Everytime. Am I the only one experiencing this?


  10. I bought this maybe 2020. As much as I love it, with the color being a slightly pale gold, it peels & scratches off easily. It is a one coat paint, which is lovely. I've tried many ways to put a clear coat on top without it turning or staying wet, even when the polish has dried first. Perhaps I'll try a UV top coat. So I just use it for my pinky nails now instead of all my nails. I plan to buy more bottles in the future however.


  11. I have an imp of this. Warm, yummy honey, with subtle earthy patchouli. A touch of fig, with a slap of clove on top, fading into sweet ylang-ylang. Enjoyable but think I would pass. It's unisex, a little too food smelling to me.


  12. Bought a bottle of this. It really doesn't last long on me. But the experience is super floral, all white flowers with damp dew on them. Then it fades to soap. Not bad, but man I wish this sang a little more. Very Ghost Flowers.
