Amazing right! It renaissance. Im thankfull that my skin could hold it for about 10 hours everytime i wear it. However i know some people do get less. The SA that helped me told me that she only get like a few hours from it. I wear it behind the ears so whenever i woke up in the morning and washed my ears i still get the scent stuck on my fingers. Haha.
Different topic.
Today is my 3rd wearing of the latest one from amouage, Beach hut. Tested it from a sample vial. Hmmm. First of all if you love mint do try this out. Strong mint from the start and it mellows down as time goes by but that mentholated airiness around this never did left me. Honestly i enjoy mint which is a little subtle than this.
My wife kinda ruin it for me when i first worn it. " hubby ada pakai minyak angin ke? " and i just went with the flow and answered yup (Rm1115 of a minyak angin haha) i do get it why she said that. It does have that minyak angin kinda feel to it like something that i also get from prada lhomme. That mentholated airy vibe from the mint plus with the light florals in there. There is also vetiver in here that might be making that minty air feels a bit controlled and not too much of a toothpaste smell. It goes a bit like fresh cool damp grass. Green and uplifting. That wet/damp feel might be from the moss. My untrained nose here did not get a few of the notes listed for beach hut such as patchouli or myrrh. Woodyniss do fill in but to me its a faint one. But as for the name implies i still dont see why its called beach hut. Maybe slight beach smell because of that breezy dampness bit, but what about the sand, and the sea, the salty air, the wet damp wooden floor and wall of the hut, or maybe even the hot sun. Where does that fit in ...or is it a different beach hut atmosphere that they want to give us. I dont know 🤔
As for the performance of this i get around 10 hours out of it everytime i wear it (2 spray from the vial) 1st time wearing this was around 8pm and when i woke up the next morning i could still smell it as a skin scent. Today i worn it at 4pm on my neck and i can stil smell whiffs of it this very moment so sillage is also great. Perfomance wise , amazing \(^^)/ maybe even better right.
Finally, will i splurge my money for a full bottle of this? .....for now maybe not, but man honestly, i do enjoy wearing it. For me that minyak angin feel is just around the 1st hour or so and it does mellow down a bit afterwards. I totally would not mind smelling like that or smelling it on anyone else haha. It still smells nice, really. However, i wont be recomending this to someone else because for me i would say it might not be worth the price tag. But hey if you enjoy this and have the extra money to spend why not right. Who am i to tell people what to or not to buy. Do take time to test this my dear frag heads. Make sure to spray like 2 or 3 sprays of this and only this. no other fragrance. just to make sure you can experience it at full. If you dont like it well u can just scrub it off.
Wowww!! That is one helluva of a review...nice one bro. I have yet to collect my sample vial from the KLCC counter, the SA there promised one when I texted her 2 days ago. Might go and collect it tomorrow
