Ok so this fragrance is a skin scent, it’s soft soft. It was gone from my arm 6 hours in. Reapplied and became a skin scent again within an hour. Becomes a creamy oak wood on the drydown for me. But this is a soft scent. If you like bold scents, this won’t be for you. Maybe this fragrance needs to macerate 🤷♂️

Thanks. This is out of topic, but related to a skin scents. Few days ago I wear Prada L'Homme Intense. It's very quick to become at skin scent. Is it so? If not then I might get nose blind or I got bad decant. Thanks

@@nixland I haven’t worn it in a few years. It’s a soft night time scent. It did sit closer to the skin for me. Which isn’t a bad thing. I prefer L’homme and L’Homme Leau over it personally as I find the dna to work better as a fresher soap scent.

Nah, I'm with you as well. Was at ulta yesterday trying to convince myself to like the edp. Not that I don't, but i have enough winter and fall scents. I ended up getting another bottle of BDC edp. Only had the parfum, and It is a bit heavy for the summer. But yeah, ocean edt is where it's at..

For a date night I’d take the YSL, kind of similar but it smells more elegant while this one smells more sporty. The lemon brings it up in minerals, it smells a bit aquatic despite the woodsy notes from saffron and vanilla. It really feels right anywhere this perfume IMO, I would dare using it during the day with a polo shirt and shorts to go to the Country Club but it also reminds me more about nights spent with friends taking aperitivi in Sicily at some restaurant next to the beach. It smells like Mediterranean woods molded by the sea and left on the beach under the sun, it has wood and it has salinity. It feels very versatile, opposite to what some reviewers pointed out saying “I can’t see why Prada released this winter scent right now between spring and summer” and to an Italian islander like me it really feels like a summer perfume as well.

Macy’s sale is back and I picked this up tonight, Jeff. Got a really nice compliment within an hour of spraying it. Somehow it’s almost giving me PDM Herod vibes? That saffron and oak might be doing it. Either way this is turning out to be a very enjoyable scent to me.
