My Impression

The most different and most beautiful perfume I have smelled in my life. First of all, I can say that I have never smelled anything this different. The perfume opens with an intense saffron, then mineral notes join from underneath, and after that a metallic air comes in. At this point the perfume also gets a little sweeter, so in the dry down it turns into a sweet, mineral, metallic, leathery perfume. It is a very different, deep and nuanced perfume. It is also quite polarizing: people who like it fall in love, and people who don't hate it. As for performance, the older batches were stronger, but the current batches are strong too. One more thing, the older batches smell a little more metallic as well, which I think is nicer, but I would say many people will like the new batches more.
