Vivamor

Addiction Absolu

Package got stolen by the new person living at my previous address lol and I smelled the cologne in the parking garage level of my previous apartment number smh and scentbird hasn’t answered

I struggle with rating this one; initially, I didn't like it because it was such a strong departure from the other scents I have gotten. BUT I have gone back every now and then and I find I like the scent, it's a nice warm comforting scent for me. You really get the dried fruit punch at the beginning and then it fades quickly into more of the alcohols with the amber & vanilla kind of just melding everything together a bit, and smoothing out the sharpness that I find can come with the alcohol scents. However I have not had the confidence to wear this somewhere; I'm still not 100% sure it's for me... I could definitely see myself trying it but it would not be an everyday scent. It would certainly be a special event sent that I use for very specific occasions. Overall, while this may not be my scent, I like the scent itself and I wouldn't mind smelling it on someone else.

I've seen plenty of people call this one too feminine or sweet. And it is really sweet off the rip but if you let it air out it does get the spice to it. To me it is masculine but just with a different angle. I feel like all the scents that people think of as "masculine" are the very woody and spicy ones with the bite and I think people think only those are the ones that are masculine but I think it's pretty broad. This one is still pretty bold but it just has a different way of delivering that boldness. This makes me think of the winter. I really dig it. It wouldn't be my first choice because of it being as sweet as it is but that's just personal preference.

it's decent.

The notes seemed right up my alley but to my nose it leans a little too powdery/make up smelling after the opening. It begins with a nice warm toasted spice with a hint of ambery booze. Dries down a bit powdery with still elements of a light tobacco and powdered woods. I think it will feel better in the fall or winter. That being said I have other scents with similar profiles that I like all year round better (not in the super high heat tho). Overall it’s ok, not bad but nothing I’ll reach for repeatedly. But I’ll wear it to get my mone worth or gift it if someone else enjoys it.
