Several things about this order were impressive. The turnaround from order to delivery was exceptionally fast The quality of the decant bottle was good, including the atomizer (often a weak point of decant bottles) The online catalog is well-organized and easy to use. Finally, the fragrance (Lattafa Vintage Radio) is better than I had expected.
YSL definitely changed things up with this one. It still smells like a Y flanker but is considerably different from the original Le Parfum. This one comes across a bit more grown up and mature than the original. liked the original version but I LOVE the new one. I will absolutely be grabbing a bottle asap.
To my nose, the opening smells bit like a bottle of fragrance that is starting to go bad. I think it might be the coffee in it that doesn't sit right with me. It's not terrible and only lasts for the first 30 minutes or so and then that fades away and becomes a more traditional Terre D'Hermes fragrance. All in all, I'll probably pass on this one.
I enjoy the fragrance but with the name Bold Citrus, I expected more citrus notes to shine through. It does however stick to the Boss Bottled dna so in that regard it's an appropriate flanker, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really scream summer to me the way I had hoped it would.
Very nice, I enjoyed it. Lemon and the Bergamot compliment the Elemi very well. A little woods in the background. Patchouli is creamy not earthy or dirty. Vetiver waa blended to compliment the citrus aspect of it. Hedione in it for sure and possibly some Ethylene Brassalate for that lift. Well balanced. Weak compared to Absolu and Elixir but decent 4 hours on skin. Will buy a full bottle.
