It's interesting but…I like it

So I had some time playing with the fragrance. I tried it by itself, with other perfumes, with body butters, with oils, and with body mist. Each result gave a different effect! By itself: it's really nice! It was a very floral yet musky scent! It's like soft floral with more musk! I also wanna sa...y it has a bit of a woodsy smell, like smokey. All the scents mix together nicely but it's very loud once you have it on you! Other Perfumes: I mostly tried to keep with with similar notes. I find with vanilla, it matches very well, it last a bit longer too; with floral, it depends on which notes are the stronger, it will longer the heavy one. With spice, I personally dont like it, it makes it very too heavy and it itches my nose Body butters: now if you have an unscented one like regular shea butter or lotion then it just adds to lingering longer! The smell is the same by itself! HOWEVER, if you are using a scented body butter, be careful on which one you use! Mixing too many scents and just live your make irritated or the scents clashing makes it nauseating! I mostly kept the scents similar so it wasn't too powerful but with the body butters it last the longest! Oils: tbh it's the same as the body butter! With oil being heavier it, sticks on alot better and last a lot longer! Body mist: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I keep it's because body mist have alcohol in it, it could have an affect on the actual perfume! So tbh this is my least favorite to pair it with! Now application! Spray a couple of times then walk away! This girl is POWERFUL! You dont need to coat yourself in it because then you will struggle to smell it or worst, it can be irritating to other people! Once you noticed the smell is gone, not apply more! Because it's not gone it just settled nicely into the skin or clothes! People can still smell it (I had a couple of friends help me test this theory out) Overall, I like it! It's a very very good perfume! I wouldn't mind buying another bottle once my is gone! Like I said my favorite to pair it either is body butter! That gives the more longest lasting effect and the vanilla of my BB with this perfume is heavenly!
