Santal Basmati was my 3rd perfume purchase ever. I love it. It lasts all day for me and never overwhelms. I wear it to work in a healthcare setting, no issues for others. I love the rice note so much in this. I easily get 10 hrs but I spray on skin and clothes.
Thanks Joanna! I so appreciate your descriptions & honesty. Hearing that Rouge Smoking Extrait has a similarity with Cherry Punk is very helpful! I have not tried any of those. Hope you're having a fabulous time on holiday❤
Hi Allison! They are only similar with the type of cherry but they don’t smell alike. Thanks my dear! I’m really looking forward for this summer break for us.
Hi Joanna! I might have to sample Rougue Smoking Extrait, but I just recently purchased Duchessa, so I am set with my cherry purchases.😊 I've had my eye on Santal Basmati, but too have read the duration is not great. How does this fragrance compare with Elsire's Extrait Blanc? I sooo love that scent! Mind Games...I am so curious about this house (and House of Bo). But it just ain't in the budget. I received my decant of Oud Cadenza. Ohhhhh...right up my alley. I was struck how it reminded me of 3 different fragrances I have: Rifaaqat mixed with Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold and Khamra. And true to Maison Crivelli form, this fragrance is strong. A bit overwhelming at first, but five minutes in, it is stunning. Love the drydown. It lasts forever..So thank you for that tip! Enjoy your vacation!😊
Hi Karen! Honestly Duchessa for me is still #1. Santal Basmati is not similar to Elisire Extrait Blanc. It feels lighter and woodier. To me it’s more sandalwood than rice whereas EEB is more on rice. I prefer EEB but Santal Basmati is easier to wear…
@jmercadobeauty Oh man, is Oud Cadenza growing on me...this is a very addictive fragrance. Just those first 3 minutes knock me out. 😂 I see French Avenue dropped a fragrance dupe of this: Cocoa Morado. 👀🤔
Tumi is highly underrated. Utopia is stunning. I also own Tumi Dusk, one of the most versatile and sexy men's fragrances I've discovered in 2024. I got a bottle for my husband but I wear it sometimes too.
Rouge Smoking Extrait was not for me. Not similar to the original and masculine. If it comes to the performance, Mind Games is way to expensive. The only one I bought was French Defense
I love your outfit and your makeup! Especially how you did your eyeshadow! ❤
@@TheNarcoticMonkey Thank you 💙

Thanks! I also work in a healthcare setting so this information is useful to me.
Yes! It lasts long but has soft to moderate projection. Perfect for healthcare setting 👌
I am so intrigued to smell how creamy sandalwood w basmati note would be. It sounds calming and soothing.

I am pleased with TUMI actually. I’ll have a look at Dusk 😉 Happy New Year My dear ✨
I love Double Attack but I find it doesn’t last very long at all. Especially for the price point. 😢

Yup RS Extrait smells different from OG. French Defense is on my list to try 😀
