This is a difficult fragrance to explain. It is a close to the skin musk and lightly woody vibe. A clean, ethereal, and comforting fragrance. I tend to enjoy it most on quiet days at home.
It started with a sample I received in an order and I fell in love with the fragrance. I purchased this 10ml 2weeks ago and mentioned on the IG chat I like it so much I was going to buy a full bottle. Didn't realize how quickly I'd do it. I hope I don't run out before it gets here. Placing that order now!
Let’s run it back with XIII. Inspired by another 13 this one here opens up wish a fresh musk that honestly slaps you across the face for 5 minutes it’s at its peak of how loud it just projects. After that it’s becomes more tamed but still a good scent bubble. You’ll slowly pick up on the elegant Jasmine in here. Such a light beautiful note. If you were to search for an everyday, complicated getter & safe for the office this scent is it. It’s strong enough to fulfill your fragrance needs while still being pleasant in others noses. Can also be overspray safely. Last 9 hours easy for any work day. Safest blind buy if I ever seen one. Don’t over pay for the OG just buy this instead.
I bought my wife the original from Le Labo for $240 2 years ago, now I bought a dupe from Barret, I couldn't believe how good it smells, Barret creates a perfume 90% similar to the original, It is a unisex aroma, but more for the feminine side,the best performance is in spring summer weather.
The bottle is nice, and the atomizer is too. As far as the scent, it has a similar musk in the dry down but it's almost like it's missing one note that makes it like the OG. I couldn't smell it at all when I tried it but my kids could. With the OG there's something that comes off like a fresh mint type of vibe that makes it dark and alluring that is completely missing here. The BF one, because it's lacking the freshness feel, seems to be more catered to layering the scent
