Community Verdict
Pros & Cons
- ✅ beautiful spicy vanilla - doesnt smell too dessert like, doesnt smell too smoky either. great for a first niche perfume as its extremely likeable and easy on the nose.
- ✅ This was my very first niche fragrance. It opened my eyes and nose to appreciating the experience of a fragrance journey.
- ✅ unbelievable scent. dries down into this beautiful pastry scent. Longevity in skin is utterly insane. By far my all time favorite fragrance.
- ✅ beautiful spicy gourmand scent without being too spice forward
- ✅ smooth, creamy, and sophisticated dry down
- ✅ addicting vanilla fragrance that gives a luxurious twist
- ✅ one of the best modern vanilla fragrances available
- ✅ smooth vanilla and cinnamon absolutely great together
- ❌ the lack of a prominent woody or amber base, combined with the heavy use of orange blossom (traditionally viewed as a note in women's perfumes), makes it way too feminine for me to wear.
- ❌ Honestly? PDM has an extremely distinctive scent DNA, which is also present in Delina and Valaya. It’s a sort of rubbery synthetic odour that I find unbearable.
- ❌ It smells nice, but is far too sweet for me to actually wear.
- ❌ too sweet, cloying, and can be headache inducing
- ❌ synthetic bomb, not safe for blind buy
- ❌ sickeningly sweet, no personality, no structure
- ❌ unremarkable, incredibly sweet and boring
- ❌ overpriced, way too feminine for me
