Room Service

This is pretty blink and you miss it for me. I feel like I cannot smell it within 15 minutes unless I bring my wrist directly to my nose. It's got a pretty astringent opening right after spraying, but the alcoholic sharpness recedes within a minute. There is still something a little unpleasantly tangy or twangy to my nose. It could be the orange or maybe the blackberries. I think I smell a little effervescent blackberry by itself, though, so I suspect it's something like orange pith. That twang is integral to the scent, though, and I think it would be a very boring violet musk scent without that. This is okay, and I don't think I've smelled anything like it before, but it's overpriced for what it is. 6/10.

This is a "pretty blink and you miss it" for me. I feel like I cannot smell it within 15 minutes unless I bring my wrist directly to my nose. Even with about 10 sprays, I still can't really smell it.

Got this in the "discovery set" for Vilhelm last month, and along with Smoke Show and Purple Fig, it's my favorite of the bunch. I'm astonished there is no rose listed here!! Because what it smells like to me is a very pleasant, watery floral with a rose note, but I guess not! It's light and a little bit greenish, I guess that's the bamboo - super nice scent. Not very strong, however, which means less points in my book. But very nice.
