Wearing Coral Fantasy today, and I realized that if I was forced to choose only one scent to wear for the rest of my life, this would be it. I love BIR Extradose and Intense, but the sweet red apple and rich tobacco notes give Coral Fantasy the edge for me. Its not perfect. I wish the lavender note was a little more pronounced, like Extradose, and I often combine the 2 because of this. Still, I have to say that in this moment in time Coral Fantasy is my favorite frag. Its incredibly versatile. Anytime of year, any occasion, and at any temperature Coral Fantasy is going to work great for me. Very good projection and longevity. One of my best compliment pullers. Sure I have better gym, date night, office and church frags. Coral Fantasy is still a top 10 pick in every category. Maybe Valentino will release BIR Coral Fantasy Extradose one day, until then this is the GOAT GADA frag for me.

Purchased this a little bit ago. Warm today mid 80s. So I had to break it out for a first wear. This definitely is a nice lime opening with some herbs/spices that are mild. The lime is a little lighter than Persian lime and I like it, almost a daquiri lime smell). There are moments in the mid of Vetiver mixed with the lime. Once the mid layer evolved it is a light wood scent (sandalwood vs the cedar I think), glimpses of amber and even a little powdery. Ran the first sprays at 7:30am and then a second round at 12:45 pm just to have it fresh on again to go into the warm temperature. I noticed on the dog walk working up a sweat, hints of lime coming at me with some sandalwood. I knew this was a 5-6 hour type of fragrance and I want to see how it does when temps really get up in the 90s here. I have a few other summer fragrances coming to figure out olfactory families and my summer rotations. 1) Mancera French Riviera 2) Hermes H24 Herbes Vives 3) Nishane Wulong Cha X More fun soon.
