Pros & Cons

  • Love at second sniff... On skin, it became something completely different... refined, dynamic and quietly sensual.
  • The best of the Scentsorium collection, not super complex, but high quality, and the type of fragrance that makes you feel something.
  • For me, it is a beautiful, unusual summer fragrance.
  • It smells unique but not specifically for any season, I could wear it for many occasions during daytime comfortably.
  • On skin, it became something completely different. The opening is green, sharp and alive: orange blossom intertwined with a slightly milky, vegetal fig accord... refined, dynamic and quietly sensual.
  • It smells like citrus melting into warm suede, not too loud, just quietly rich and comforting, super interesting and unique.
  • Chapter One of Scentsorium Collection smells like an innocent orange flower wrapped in a protective suede leather. It's like an intense and ever lasting cologne, my favorite!!
  • The bergamot does announce itself right at the beginning, but it is immediately intercepted by the delicate, floral notes of neroli... Blaze of Stillness has a depth and complexity at every moment that I often miss in many summer fragrances.
  • I found it last longer than 6 hours on my skin but the projection is mid.
  • I’ve never in my life had a reaction to a fragrance like I’ve had with this one: instant splitting headache. I had to scrub it off.
  • Smells like nice and cozy orange blossom for like ten minutes, and it turns into a burning printing machine in a middle of a garden.
  • Extremely underwhelming... Longevity, let alone sillage, doesn’t exist… Nothing was detectable after 1 hour.
  • Wow notes looks super interesting but the price and this house known for mediocre performances :/
  • Smells like nice and cozy orange blossom for like ten minutes, and it turns into a burning printing machine in the middle of a garden.
  • You passed out and wake up in a field medic tent surrounded by the smell of stringent disinfectant and band aids.
  • Longevity, let alone sillage, doesn't exist... Nothing was detectable after 1 hour.
  • I've never in my life had a reaction to a fragrance like I've had with this one: instant splitting headache. I had to scrub it off.
  • The early bot comments are incredibly obvious, shameful... accounts with the spam comments here were all created on the exact same day.
