REVIEWS
Fragrantica - in love. such a creamy spicy round modern scent. as soon as they make an edp spray im buying. have the oil now. there is an element of dirt that i loooove like rosey chocolatey creamy comforting rum yum amber dirt. Highly recommend, very unisex, the slightest bit sweet. cant wait to mix this with cardamom!!
Fragrantica - My first impression is the rum, which I simply adore, a little bit of spice, but not too much. As already pointed out, this is warm, cosy and incredibly attractive. Definitely a fall-winter 'around the fireplace'-sort of scent. As with many other Versatile, it's very round around the edges. Here I would definitely say creamy, which balances out the spiciness so nicely. Boozy, creamy, spicy, warm, narcotic. Definitely a favourite from the house! Can't decide if I like this, or 'Croissant cafe' better. These are both winter-season gems.
Fragrantica - This is one of my favourites from the line. Warm, rich, boozy, spicy, a slightly honeyed scent. A cold weather staple for me. Truly beautiful!
Fragrantica - The scent itself is absolutely WONDERFUL!! A boozy smokey gourmand-sweet hug in a bottle that just envelops you!! I have to draw the obvious comparison with Jazz Club, there are definite note similarities, but I find this one a touch more rounded and a little softer. It doesn't lean feminine but is a true unisex (Jazz Club def leans masculine).
Fragrantica - I've been loving this lately. First you get a incense and smokey wood, than it sweetens up from the rum and the gets a little spicy from the cinnamon and finish is a sweet woody trail. The rum to me doesn't smell very boozy, reminds me more of raisins or dried fruits in general. I'd like it to be more dry and less fruity but great fragrance, very complex but wearable.
My boyfriend told me this morning that I smell like an old lady or a young man. I took it as a compliment.
Fragrantica - Surprisingly delicious fragrance! I was expecting dark, tobacco scent and I get sweet, sensual and spicy. At first, quite masculine aroma makes an impression of gentleman's club (expensive rum, cigar, comfy sofa), but lately the scent become playful and changes. On my skin, it is feminine, rosy puff with smoky touch and warm vibration of amber. I really like it, it is very wearable, chic and optimistic scent! Good projection and nice longevity (7-8hrs).
Fragrantica - like having an old fashioned cocktail in a quiet candlelit bar with soft jazz music playing in the background.
Fragrantica - a mix of amber, pepper, rum, cinnamon, and incense. It's woody, sweet, smoky, spicy, resinous, and boozy, without overdoing any one aspect, in my opinion, fairly pleasant while being a bit provocative, a palpable winner for cooler weather especially, something I'd certainly wear plenty of. The rum/pepper aspect reminds me a bit of part of Guerlain Gourmand Coquin, and its spiciness reminds me of Atelier Cologne Tobacco Nuit, though this is a bit more easygoing than both while still being dark and interesting. Overall, I'm really pleased with it and want to wear more of it.
