I’m about to place an order!

Day two of my Aromatix X fragrance reviews Today in 9th spot - Aromatix X Carnal Desire Inspired by Cuir Infrarouge by Maison Crivelli From the very first spray, the opening immediately feels bright yet playful, with raspberry leading the charge. It brings a juicy, slightly tart sweetness that instantly grabs attention, while bergamot adds a fresh citrus sparkle that keeps the opening lively rather than overly sugary. Cinnamon quietly sits in the background, adding a subtle warm spice that hints at the deeper, more sensual character that’s about to unfold. As the fragrance begins to develop, the heart introduces a soft, almost airy sweetness with cotton candy, giving the scent a light sugary texture that contrasts nicely with the richer base waiting underneath. Orris adds a powdery smoothness that gives the fragrance a slightly creamy elegance, while rose brings a gentle floral touch that rounds everything out and stops the sweetness from feeling too playful or juvenile. The heart is where the fragrance starts to feel more balanced — sweet, soft and slightly romantic, but still with a warm edge. In the dry down the fragrance becomes darker and more sensual as leather begins to emerge, giving the scent a smooth, slightly smoky depth that changes the overall character. Oud adds a woody richness beneath this leather note, while cedar introduces a dry, slightly aromatic woodiness that keeps things structured. Patchouli adds an earthy backbone to the composition, and vanilla softly wraps everything together, providing a smooth sweetness that lingers on the skin and ties the whole scent together. Performance is strong on me with around 8+ hours longevity and solid projection early on, leaving a sweet, slightly leathery trail that people will definitely notice. Overall rating: 7.1/10 This scent also reminds me a bit of Azzaro Forever Wanted Elixir, especially with the raspberry note. This is basically a sweet but darker leaning fragrance — juicy raspberry and cotton candy sweetness up top, slowly transitioning into a deeper leather-oud base that gives it a sensual, slightly mysterious character. It’s the kind of scent that feels playful at first but becomes warmer and more seductive as it settles.
