Xinú - reviewing every xinu fragrance

[@patchoulipapi]

Great description with the four seasons hotel. Ummo is my favorite I think… & these droppers are great and a nice change compared to all other brand’s presentation. May buy a secondhand bottle way down the line but I just don’t see how adding any of these will improve my collection. Cheers!

glad i had your video to watch while i was testing ‘em! yea, none of them are groundbreaking but i think they are very thoughtful and well done.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Something about your descriptions reminds me of Arquiste, which also shares the same perfumer. Arquiste also has strong Mexican influences but I don't remember seeing any mention of any unique naturals...it sounded more like recreated accords to me. Wonder if the perfumers are restricted to a certain ingredient palate in the lab. I remember Lolascents covering Xinu in the past. I wanted to get samples back then but I think I forgotten about them eventually (in the ocean of thousands of releases).

@@gunmetal2445 i have wanted to try Arquiste, but they have always fallen somewhere near the back of the line of wants. i think they are also the folks behind the “Vacation” perfume - which i liked. The Xinu perfumes are very skillfully done. even if they are not made with mexican materials, they do a great job paying homage to the country.

Yes! BS marketing. Inauthenticity is a deathknell for me. Hah four seasons- perfect description
