Absolutely adore this one!! Very simple, straightforward, and comforting scent. The vanilla is beautiful and not overly heavy, gourmand, or cloyingly sweet—just a really lovely warm, balanced addition to the gentle sandalwood. Definitely going to become a go-to for me! Perfect for more subdued settings or when I don't want to wear anything overpowering or particularly exotic.

Thought I'd adore this one but it unfortunately didn't work for me! It's a whole lot sweeter than I anticipated—very syrupy-floral in a way that turns cloying on my skin. Out of bottle, I do enjoy the scent, though it's still a touch sweeter than I'd normally prefer. On my skin, though, it pulls more toward a mass-market sweet floral perfume. I had a hard time picking out much more beyond simple-syrup-drenched rose petals.

This scent isn't quite what I was expecting, but I'm enjoying it nevertheless! It's a nice fresh floral to my nose—the amber is a nice brightening touch but pretty subtle to my nose. Definitely reminds me of sticking my nose in a sunflower! It does fade pretty quickly on my skin, though—like a brief flash of sunshine.

I got less vanilla and patchouli from this than I was hoping—the amber shines pretty strong to my nose—but it's still a lovely scent! Been having some bad luck with ambers recently, but I'm enjoying it in this one. It's mellowed by the skin musk and is a nice rounded but bright scent on my skin.

Absolutely love this one! Like some of the other commenters have said, I can't really pick out the smoke. That being said, I definitely have no problem smelling it! Sticks well on my skin and has good throw. It's a very heavy, warm scent on my skin. The grey amber absolutely shines, and I get a lot of vanillin (without pulling too sweet) both from the bottle and on my skin.

Definitely loving this one! I've been wearing it recently as a sleep scent. It's a very lovely, soft, powdery floral to my nose. Very simple and gently floral!

Got an imp of this one recently and was honestly a bit afraid to try it 😂 It's been on my wishlist but OOB it smelled so strongly of grape juice that I was really wary, especially because I'm not a fan of overly sweet fragrances. But on skin, I was pleasantly surprised! It mellowed a lot and I got some of the richer, more mysterious notes. It definitely isn't as masculine as I was expecting but it's very well-balanced both wet and dry on my skin. Not sure if I'll end up splurging on a full size or not, but I'll definitely enjoy the imp while it lasts!
