What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—Initial Impression—aligns with critics noting the scent can feel medicinal or overly strong on first encounter.
In their words
“I’ve never smelled anything like this before. The first time I put my nose to it, I instantly loved it. Loved it so much that I bought a 50ml after I got “addicted “ from the 10ml. It longevity, sillage and intensity are out of this world. In my opinion it’s for special occasions and not for everyone.”
