Hey guys ,me here! I just got my bottle as well ( finally 😅) Please let it sit for a day or two. The cold is killing the top notes and the entire compostion . My bottle is slightly not as sweet as my samples and it doesn t really project but I know it will change after 2 days as it arrived almost frozen 😅. Some notes are a bit more sensitive to cold . Is the same as if you d wear Oud for Greatness during 40°C , the juice would be a bit warm and you d suffocate yourself after the first spray. The fragrance is fully macerated but being almost December the cold during shipping really affects the fragrance for the first 48h. I know is not ideal and all of you wanted to smell the real deal after the first spray, but this weather is not fragrance frendly during shipping. Please be patient and let it rest for at least 2 days. Thank you so much for your love, you guys are the best❤

The notes for Raised Spirits really sound like they would blend so well. You know when you read the note pyramid and you can almost imagine exactly how it smells? Chocolate Queen sounds amazing too. I am not a huge fan of prominent chocolate in fragrance, but we have similar taste so I definitely need to give it a try. I like chocolate that's more of a supportive character. But I trust your judgement and I think it's for sure worth a try!

I wanted to like raised spirits so much. The notes sound dreamy but to me the fragrance isn’t what I wanted. All the notes make it seem like it would be dark and seductive but it’s surprisingly light and to me not boozy at all. Just a nice average very designer smelling scent. Beast mode longevities though so that is that. I put my bottle up for sale the same day. Not a nasty smell but not at all what the notes make you think it would be
