Warm woodruff floral- a fall fav! l

I received this perfume from influenster and givenchy in return for my honest review. Let me start by saying this 80ml (2.8oz-ish?) is $141 on the site. From what I understand it is a brand new fragrance being released just in time for fall. And it's a good thing cause this will be a fan fav for fal...l/winter months, I can already see it. Top notes: Neroli from Tunisia, Orange Blossom Absolute from Tunisia, Sambac Jasmine Absolute from India • Heart notes: Tuberose Absolute from India, Cocoa Shell Extract from Madagascar • Base notes: Patchouli Heart Essence from Indonesia, Vetiver Essence from Haiti, Ambroxan This fragrance was made in France at Ateliers Givenchy. Upon first spritz on my wrist and inner elbow I immediately smelled the orange blossom and the jasmine together! The neroli. They all paired very well together for that bright floral scent that just pulls you in, but then it quickly started evolving into something less bright and more spicy and warm. You start to get the jasmine mixed with the patchouli and then it starts getting more late night vibes. The patchouli and the vet over start working together to bring out the spicy warm woody side of the fragrance and it just sucks you in. I can see where this fragrance may not be for everyone. It does seem much more mature… it definitely doesn't scream young and bright… but more like classy sexy mature and wealthy vibes almost. There's a reason the bottle is solid red with red lace and a tassel of the 4G! It's an independent sexy boss babe scent. But honestly it gives me like 35 and up vibes almost. I just turned 30 and I feel like it may be slightly too mature for me. I can still wear it and will until I run out but I don't think it's one I'd buy for myself. As a gift for my mom? Absolutely! My aunt? Sure thing! But not for anyone younger probably. And there's one off little note that gives a super musky scent when I spray in my inner elbow and it almost is like…. Musty. Idkk. It's hard to describe but it's not on my wrist. Only my inner elbow. Too scared to spray it anywhere but my wrist now 😅 something about my specific chemistry doesn't agree here and that's okay. Otherwise I love the fragrance. Just not one for me. Thank you to Influenster and givenchy for the opportunity 💕🥰
