My Impression

Although this is a perfume that is constantly praised as an underrated one, honestly I didn't like it. It is a vanilla, amber, musk and animalic perfume, with a sugary sweetness coming from underneath too. Honestly, even though it is an interesting perfume, it is not one I would wear, but I can't deny it its due in terms of depth. It is a good perfume, both the blend and the depth are good, only I think it could have had more transitions. Performance-wise it is not bad either, I think it is not as bad as people say.
