About this deal

reviews for this are polarising so I was expecting something unusual and or challenging (which I like trying) but I don’t think this one is. I wear this perfume in November when it's due to snow soon and the leaves crunch underfoot, and the smell of blackcurrent, which is the last fruit of summer, is smeared between my lips as my lover spoons a pavlova made of custard and caramel with berry toppings into my mouth. First impressions: a pleasant and rather discreet scent (a shy sister of the much more complex and stately Dunhill's Desire For A Woman) with a dirty rose streak and leafy spice in the drydown avoiding it to become all too safe and shy. I used to be faithful to Magnetism for many years before I switched to more oriental style perfumes, but now I am thinking it's time to fall in love with this one all over again.

For some reason, on my skin, all this notes make 1 giant one: rhubarb, which happens to be one of the notes that I hate from the bottom of my heart. It smells like 'sweat smelled backwards' but im not exactly sure what I mean by that, just like this scent is full of confusion.

Taking a trip down memory lane whilst staying at my mum's house and going through her perfume collection. I have tried so many caramel fragrances thinking they might capture the note like this one does, but they don’t and I always come back to this one. Mind you, I am a great fan of patchouli and natural smells, but the opening of this makes me want to immerse myself into this "unhealthy" plastic perfume. Edit: So I've realized that my "2020 batch" is manufactured by Coty in Germany and doesn't have a logo on the bottle.

I love the warmth of amber; however, the addition of the vanilla, caramel, patchouli is just nauseating on my skin. In the Base notes, the creaminess of caramel adds sweetness to the fragrance, and exotic coconut adds fruitiness and luxury. I really wanted to like this, I think it’s that this fragrance with my skin chemistry is not a good match at all. I first smelled it on a girl while on vacation in Mexico- she wore this every night to the discotheque and it was absolutely intoxicating!I have such a soft spot for the years 2000-2005, and this is a perfect snapshot of their youths' energy. To me it smells like hair spray or shampoo with a clean, green note and there isn't much more to say. I don't always want to smell like a bakery (but sometimes I do) and I don't always want to smell like grass and trees either (but sometimes I do) and this scent somehow finds a balance between all of those things. I am wearing it right now and I plan on wearing it again tomorrow at my mothers early Mother's Day lunch and dinner. Sexy is the word that best describes this essence, a sweet aroma, an addictive potion, an aphrodisiac, an aroma that captivates the attention of the opposite sex.
