2 Eau de Parfum

I’ve had the scent for years but ran out… it is original and I fell in love with it years ago when seeing a client, he had it in, I had to ask, I purchased the next time I was in Paris as it was not available in Canada or online? Mixed feelings about it being SO available as I like to be original with my scents and everything !

I felt that this perfume felt more feminine than masculine. You wouldn't find this on a teenage girl, but I would be surprised to smell it on a man. Initially on the skin: very floral, berry, cinnamon, tea, pepper, and generic soap
After 10 minutes: pepper, incense, herbs, cinnamon, and generic soap.
A friend compared it to an antiperspirant, or something you would smell on a clean, freshly showered woman. Not bad! Good for summer/spring. Not too assaulting on the nose. Limited projection.

My experience of this fragrance wasn’t what I anticipated from the description or the listed notes. I’m obsessed with inky fragrances like Courreges Le Messager and DeGrhaal Dark Matter, but I just didn’t get any ink at all. I have the initial impression of blue-green aquatics, then a spicier and warmer middle/base, without losing the airy/aquatic impression completely. I do get the bay note, which always makes a fragrance lean masculine to my nose. As does the aquatic/spicy combo. I’m a woman, and I certainly think it’s still unisex though, for the right wearer. Low/medium projection, good wear. Good for hot weather and the office. It’s not what I personally like to wear, so I’m not going to keep my decant after this first trial wear. But I think my male friend will be excited to try this!

The fragrance itself is absolutely wonderful, though a little sweet initially. The sweetness of the magnolia blends wonderfully with the artificial sharpness of the aldehydes, and the base notes of incense and vetiver make for a warm, slightly smoky finish. The Sumi Ink notes are rather faint but still present and add a contrasting bitterness to the otherwise dominant magnolia.

In terms of Scent Split itself, although the package took a day or two longer than I expected to arrive - service was excellent and let me know immediately that my package had been shipped out after I had inquired about the status of my package. The scent is absolutely authentic, considering that I had purchased a full bottle after trying the fragrance - the tester smelling identical to the official bottle.

Would absolutely shop again, and so ahould you.
