Day Six of my Aromatix X fragrance reviews Today in 5th spot - Aromatix X Naughty Dates Inspired by Mancera Amore Caffe / Lush Sticky Dates At first spray this the opening starts bright but spicy with bergamot, mandarin and cardamom, giving the scent a lively citrus sparkle with a warm aromatic edge. The citrus keeps the opening fresh for a moment, but very quickly the fragrance moves into its real personality as the heart begins to unfold. As it settles, the signature character of the scent appears with dates, honey and coffee taking centre stage. The dates bring a thick, dark fruity sweetness that feels almost syrupy and decadent, while the coffee adds a roasted bitterness that balances the sweetness perfectly. Hazelnut and cinnamon add a toasted, slightly spicy warmth, giving the whole heart a dessert-like richness without feeling overly sugary. Underneath it all, ebony wood provides a deep woody backbone that stops the gourmand notes from becoming too sticky. In the dry down the fragrance becomes smoother and warmer as vanilla, caramel, amber and sandalwood take over the base. The vanilla and caramel create a creamy sweetness that lingers on the skin, while the amber adds a glowing warmth and sandalwood gives the fragrance a soft woody structure. The result is a dense, comforting gourmand dry down that feels luxurious and addictive. Performance is strong with this one, easily giving me 8–10 hours of longevity with solid projection early on, leaving a warm, sweet and slightly spicy trail that people will notice. Overall rating: 8.3/10 Naughty Dates doesn’t have an official inspiration but Lush & Amore Caffe are closest. When first received this I wasn’t a fan but it’s really grew on me and shot up my rankings, I am starting to see why a lot of people are hyping this one out of the whole line. It feels rich, dark and indulgent - almost like a warm date dessert with honey, caramel and coffee - making it best suited for cooler weather, evenings or anytime you want something bold, sweet and comforting so 5th spot for me but I feel it’s gonna keep rising.

Good day gents! New addition today, and pretty much going into a no-buy period. Currently have all I want, unless something trully remarkable pops up. I may end up swapping Missoni Wave for Superleggera. Ended up prefering the more musky, less playful take on the DNA of SL. Today I finally got "a" fragrance from M.Micallef. Tested my decants of Desirtoxic and Desirtoxic L'Intense about a month ago, and absolutely loved them, but as many borthers suggested, I found L'Intense to be considerably more wearable/versatile. So had to order a bottle. Came in today! But... did it? Bought it from venba, whom I bought from several times. No issues ever. Last one I had bought was my bottle of GNTONIC, that came with what seemingly is the more basic cap. I attributed that as it being a tester. But this Desirtoxic I bought as tester as well, and came with the more "classy" cap. On to the rest... order is for L'Intense, packaging states L'Intense, stickers state L'Intense, bottle seems to be the more black-blotched bottle of the L'Intense, although somewhat less than expected (I'm sure it varies)... but on the side, it just says Desirtoxic. No L'Intense. I thought it should. Did the bottle change? Scent-wise, it does seem to be L'Intense instead of the OG. Need some more time to compare them. This puts my mind at ease a bit. Batch Code suggests a July 2025 batch. Any knowledge worth sharing from our BoS Wisemen?
