I bought this bottle from a very reputable store during Black Friday. The bottling seems new (the Eros and Parfum names differs from older bottles) and I cannot confirm the batchcode online, however, I’m 99% sure it’s not a fake one. The smell is very nice and smooth in the opening, but I’m not kidding when I say that it becomes a skin scent within 30 minutes (and completely gone from the skin after 3 hours). I have tried it on multiple occasions during the last month, and just this evening after the shower I took three sprays and went to the sofa to watch a movie with my wife. She didn’t even notice I was wearing a perfume and had to really lay her nose on my chest/neck area to smell anything, and this was 5-10 minute after spraying it on. Has someone else experienced the same? Or is the bottle that knew that it needs to macerate for more than 1.5 months? Thank you in advance for your insight.

I’m looking for something with cedar and Vetiver any suggestions?

Welp lost my flame this week really been busy with work and a lot going on. Maybe it will come back one day lol

Going with Réserve Privée today. Powdery iris meets smooth whiskey and chestnut. Elegant, calm, and grown. Not loud, not flashy, just confident and refined. Perfect cold-weather gentleman energy. Longevity on me is solid, around 7 hours with noticeable but controlled projection. Definitely more “intimate luxury” than club scent. Do you see Réserve Privée as more of a night scent or a smart daytime winter wear?

I started the collection journey approx 2 years before and look forward to improve and learn amazing nuances in this art and collect more niche masterpieces to cherish for rest of the life. For me each note has an emotion attached to it. Wish all Aroma and Abundance!!❤️🎉 PS this is 2 years back pic
