Not for me
Black tea top note is prominent.
I am a male who just turned 40. This fragrance is for a female in her 70s. It's not completely terrible, but it would be a smash hit if you are a gilf hunter. Lol!!
Beautiful!!!
It’s ok.
Smells good
This is a little potent on the initial spray but it settles beautifully. That being said, it is a gorgeous confusion of musk and woodsy attributes. If you enjoy those slightly masculine scents you will enjoy this. Love it!
very potent and sophisticated
I really wanted to be a fan of this but it smells like chemicals to me, almost like a combination of every perfume in a Macys. Didn’t hate it enough to send it back but it’s really not my favorite.
I think this is a new favorite for me. when I first tried it I thought it was too strong , but it has grown on me I love it.
I really like but would say it’s not for everyone. Sweet mature kinda boozy smelling last like a beast tho
Not the type of perfume for me
Different than other colognes. A
This scent was not for me. It immediately reminded me of bug spray. It was sickly sweet and very cloying.
I use this fragrance for the office and church. Long lasting and it goes well with my body chemistry. Every time I wear it I get lots of attention and compliments. Definitely a keeper
When this first arrived on my doorstep, I excitedly (and mistakenly) judged it on its first scent: a dusky, musky smell, ultimately disgusting to me and threw it in the back of a drawer. About a month ago I pulled it out and smelled it again: it was a fantastic symphony of herbal grassy tea, smokey homelyness with a touch of sweetness of tonka to cut put any edge. Love it now!
Love it!
Love this! it's different,very sophisticated smell
Love!
Not for me.
Not for me, too masculine
Smells good
I love the unique opening. It reminded me of root beer. At least on my skin. Naturally the opening didn’t last and the dry down was a bit disappointing. It was a lovely scent but there’s no wow factor. I would’ve added to my collection if it lasted longer.
This one simply wasn't for me. Smelled too much like a strong cologne. I took one whiff and put it right back in the box to make an exchange.
I felt it was more feminine and flowery than I was anticipating. It also did not last very long, especially for a premium scent.
More masculine than unisex. Reminded me of a cologne I smelled years ago, remember the Avon bottles shaped like cars? One of those.
Smells good and light and fresh but does not last long.
Smells very high-end but I didn’t like it despite the brand name. Probably would be better for a more mature wearer.
The scent itself isn't terrible, but definitely more feminine. Black tea + incense + tonka doesn't sound like it would produce an overly powdery profile but that's exactly what I get out of it. Pleasant enough, just not for dudes IMO
A cooler version of Elixier, and I love it just as much! Still unisex, but leans a little more feminine
This is a refined yet unusual perfume. In addition to the tea and incense, my nose detects a green note that might be anise. I know this one divides the crowd, but I like it. It's another Hermés winner as far as I am concerned.
this is a pretty light Fragrance. it smells unique to me. it has some freshness a bit of vanilla and some light woodiness and a Powdery aspect this is a Unisex kind of scent. I have put this on a few times now and it doesn't last long on my skin and I like it but I wouldn't pay what a full bottle goes for.
It’s a nice clean scent
Wonderful smell just doesn’t last
Light smelll that last.
Light and fresh, decently complex. Interesting while still being easy to wear. I'm interested to see how it does in warmer weather.
Meh…too strong and definitely masculine. I wanted to love it but unfortunately I didn’t.
This scent has a bitter smell to me. All the notes are very high, which tends to make me need to sneeze. It's also a little powdery.
Luxury skin scent
Just not my kind of scent. Also I feel like the scent doesn't last long.
The smell is nice but it is not for me
I love the fragrance but it does not last that long
The scent is good, very nice and light, not strong on the nose at all. But it was a bit too light for me personally. I gave it 4 stars because the scent itself deserves it, it just isn't a stand out for me. Run of the mill light winter scent.
Personally this is one of my favorite fragrances. Its scent give me notes aquatic, tree oils, with light peppery notes. This scent is very light; you won't smell it unless you're right up on the person wearing it. This scent can easily be overpowered by by stronger scent.
Great Scent, Everything I was looking for
Too masculine for me, but smells great on husband! Not too much is needed, as it's pretty potent at first spray
Took one whiff and hated it, my girlfriend didn't like it either.
I get perhaps very subtle tea and incense, but it still has a modern quality. Overall, I think it's very pleasant but not amazing.
Smells a lot like tea with a hint of orange. Reminds me of a craft store in the winter time. Not amazing but very unique
Pretty good. Doesn't last as long as I'd like it to.
Love this scent enough to buy a full bottle.
I love this one! I guess it’s a men/women perfume but my husband compliments me every time I wear it. It’s kinda of strong first spray but it mellows down, he says it’s light.
Smells like toothpaste. Really gross. Also unfortunately pretty long lasting.
Very wintery on first spray, but the woody notes were stronger than expected. Not too sweet and def different but my lady hates it on me
Pretty fresh fragrance , with a little sweet note. Overall great fragrance.
I mean wow! I didn't expect this to win me over the way it did. It's such a perfect balance of masculine and feminine. It's both confident and mysterious. If you enjoy a confident fragrance that's not overwhelming then this is the one for you
Makes me feel like winter riding lessons or nice Christmas cocktail parties. It’s light so it’s not absolutely winter however it’s a great perfume for Christmas Pictures or Christmas Eve at grandmas lake house. Smells expensive. Not particularly youthful but not aged like others. Anyone can wear it. It will sing in winter.
Its alright. I didn't know it was both man and woman
Definitely one of the most interesting scents I’ve come across. I don’t love it. But I don’t hate it. It reminds me of Drakkar Noir but different. Tough to describe.
I'm glad I gave this a second try. The first time it went straight to screechy amber, which sometimes happens on my skin, but the second time it developed beautifully into a light but long-lasting incense. I wish the throw was a bit stronger, but I like it a lot. Great for hot weather.
Nice and long lasting.
A little heavy on the astringency up front but calms down very quickly. A little light for my usual, but a nice departure when I want to mix things up.
