This one had to grow on me, at first I was a bit underwhelmed. For some reason it feels like PDM fragrances have to mature a bit to gain their full potential. Now I love it, and the ladies as well.
@@mikeycologne I hear you but to be fair over here in Scandinavia PDM fragrances aren’t that expensive, got mine 125ml for roughly 150£. Considering the price of designers these days, that is’t really that bad.
Waiting to get a smell of this one myself when Harvey Nichols get it in. I've seen people comparing it to Mercedes Club Black and Goldfield Silky Woods, if it's too close to those then I probably wouldnt bother buying it, but looking forward to finding out for myself.
Recently discovered your channel and loving your way of describing scents. Been dying to get my nose on this, love the house. Would love to hear your thoughts on some of the Zoologist line too.
I put my sample on my hand after watch. The bourbon vanilla is kind of outshines all other components in the immediate opening, then I get the orange blossom peeking through with a hint of the cinnamon. It really is making me crave some Marsala Chai. 😉
Hey Mikey, I got a sample of Althaïr last week and was so impressed that I can't wait to get a full bottle. It's a wonderful mix of orange blossom and vanilla with a hint of spices.
Kids love that vanillin. 😄 The secret came out last decade that the fool-proof method of making a fragrance more appealing was to add vanillin or ethyl vanillin to the base. Does something to the brain. 🤪 A head turner that molecule.
Great description, i am surprised how accurate and similar it is to my experience so far 👏✌ Sprayed it a few hours ago on skin in a store. I am not good at describing a scent, so i write down what i smell and feel: Opening: "Blast of different spices and powdery vanilla. A scent which is clearly familiar to me, but i haven`t figured out which one. Wouldn`t describe it as a masspleasing scent - to oriental." 2 hours later: "Addictive, edible, thick/heavy, vanilla (and caramel) sweets and a little bit of smokiness. It reminds me of Lattafa Nasheet (Nishane Ani clone) but without the floral / citrussy note."
It’s nice this one, don’t think I’d buy a full bottle though buddy 🤔 I got a 5ml sample from Scentdecants a couple weeks ago. 1st smell, right from rip I was like….man this reminds me of something in my collection, and then BOOM…smelled the nozzle of my Boss Bottled Intense, pretty dam close at the start. Great vid matey 🏴🏴🏴
I find this fragrance to be nice, but definitely not worth retail. It’s more feminine and very cloying. I’ll skip this one. It’s overhyped by UA-camrs as they get those free bottles,…talking to you Erica and your extremely overdone video.
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Thank you it was honest helpful review

It is a really nice scent but for that price 🤦🏼♂️

Appreciate that so thank you 👍🏻 the things is I’ve never tried any from that house 🤦🏼♂️
@@mikeycologne Gotta get your hands on some. So unique and some proper bangers in there.
Great upload mate - unsure whether to try this one. I’m a big PDM fan - favourites for me are Layton exclusif, Carlisle and Haltane!
Cheers pal 👍🏻 I would say definitely sample it mate 👌🏻

That’s fair enough mate but I don’t think I will be getting a full bottle just yet
@@mikeycologne I could see that you weren't 100% sold on it. I'm waiting until it hits discounters.
Just a fun fact: the perfumer is the same of Magnificent Black
Cheers

It is a nice scent I’m just not to sure about it yet 🤷🏼♂️

Cheers bud yeah I don’t think I will be reaching for a bottle just yet
I got a sample. I like it, I think the drydown is really nice but is it worth the price tag. I'm not too sure.
Wait till discounters mate I would
