Traveling to Boston today and wanted to wear my newly acquired fragrance. The opening is a spicy scent with some mild citrus in the background. At 15 minutes I am starting to pick up on some of the woody notes (Birch). At 30 minutes the spiciness has settled down significantly and I am now getting some fresh woodiness. At 60 minutes "Oh Wow"; the soft woods are amazing and a scent profile that I really enjoy. Also getting a very slight animalic scent coming from the Musk, and some creaminess from the Iris. At the risk of sounding cliche, this fragrance dries down just like its namesake. I am getting a spicy and woody scent profile that is perfectly blended and emmits a scent of elegance and maturity. Performance of this fragrance is moderate. The longevity on my skin is about 4 to 6 hours. The projection is moderate with the fragrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 9i0 minutes. Sillage is also moderate with a scent trail of about an arms length for about 90 minutes. I have the Original presentation (250ML) and not the redesigned 100ML bottle.

The resale value of fragrances varies significantly depending on whether the item is a designer or clone fragrance. Clones have very low resale value, while designer perfumes can hold or increase in value under specific conditions, particularly if they are discontinued. Resale value of designer fragrances The resale value of designer fragrances is highly inconsistent and depends on several key factors. Most mainstream fragrances, once opened or even just purchased from a discounter, lose value immediately, similar to buying a new car. However, some designer and niche perfumes can become collector's items. Key factors that influence designer perfume resale value: - Discontinuation: The most significant factor driving value appreciation is a fragrance being discontinued. When a beloved scent is taken off the market, the remaining bottles become sought-after commodities for collectors and fans who want to stock up. (Think ADG Profumo or Dior Home Parfum the older batches or original the ones that the vast majority of people consider materpieces) - Rarity and demand: The price of a discontinued fragrance is driven by the number of remaining bottles and the level of public demand. Scents with a dedicated following can command very high prices on resale markets like eBay or Facebook. - Condition and completeness: A bottle that is full or nearly full, in excellent condition, and still has its original box will be worth significantly more than a used bottle with missing packaging. - Original formulation: Older, "vintage" formulations are often preferred by collectors over newer reformulations, as ingredients and formulas can change over time. This makes vintage bottles more desirable and valuable. - The fragrance house: Certain brands like Guerlain, Chanel, and Christian Dior have a long history of creating highly desirable scents. Their discontinued and vintage offerings often perform well on the collector's market.  Resale value of clone fragrances Clone fragrances, which are less expensive scents designed to smell like popular designer and niche perfumes, have little to no resale value.
