It smells slightly citrusy, then woody - lots of juniper and cedar, and some degree of playful sweetness. I have honestly never had so many positive comments from people I don't even know whilst wearing it and the scent lasts for ages.

Fortunately, I already have Lataffa Ra'ed Luxe on the shelf, which makes a similar impression without the pimento. The citruses are a significant part of the opening notes, their combination comes across as just citruses, slightly sweet, not too sour, but without accent to any of the specific citrus notes included in the fragrance.Initially upon spraying, the scent smells quite generic but after a minute or too it goes down it’s own path, it’s smells like creamy laundry detergent which initially I didn’t mind as I found it quite a clean smelling fragrance but as the day went on, I started to find it nauseating and now it’s knocking me sick.

I aslo dislike the whole KING and QUEEN theme, which along with the HERO and WARRIOR theme is so prevalent (and tired, and stale, and ridiculous, and tacky) in our culture.

I’m not a fragrance expert so not sure what notes are doing that but for me it’s too sickly for my liking. This is the creation of a kindergarten class being asked to choose any mix of ingredients they want, and then make their own special fragrance. I don’t really know how to describe clary sage to someone whose never smelled it before, but the best way I can say it is like a slightly spicier, fuzzier and even a little sweeter version of basil.

So here you go, it’s a stand-out because of its complexity (and I guess it opens itself to hate because there a lot to choose from if you’re not a fan of any one note it is offering).The balance between the ingredients is perfect, the musk is done amazingly well, I love this lemon note and the pimento really adds structure and personality to the fragrance.
