Obsessed. I am not usually into gourmands or white flowers and usually tend towards more woody, unisex fragrances but this may be my favorite scent of all time. Orange and cocoa enveloped in heady, tropical white flowers like tuberose blooming in a balmy night with a musky, slightly woodsy background. I usually reserve this for evening wear but feel it is appropriate for any season. It lasts on my skin overnight and I find it has medium projection which is ideal for me. Sad the releases are so limited (I think 100 bottles?)— nowhere had full bottles when I started looking so bought so many samples of this here before finally finding a full bottle on eBay. One of those fragrances where I can’t stop smelling myself when I wear it.

Lovely blend. However on me, couldn't smell anything beyond the dominent florals - tuberose and carnation.

I was lucky enough to have Rajesh Balkrishnan hand me a bottle when it first came out. This is another masterpiece and collaboration with Antonio Lasheras. The notes are blended perfectly and it has strong sillage and longevity. Their previous collaboration sold out at Luckyscent very quickly, so if you want this gem, you had better shop soon.
