In my opinion worlds more exclusive than the BR540 edp & extrait ...

Some months ago I had the opportunity to exchange my Creed Aventus with a remaining content of about 70ml Batch: 2019 for a full MFK Oud Satin Mood also 70ml with OVP and invoice and I did so. It was almost a blind exchange but I knew from the reviews here that it must have something and if I didn't like it, I would have sold it on. Many people might say that I made a huge mistake but no, not with the performance of the Creed Aventus, there are simply much better ones, even if Aventus has the uniqueness, I didn't regret it for a single second. No sooner said than done, when the perfume arrived I unpacked it and looked at the beautiful bottle and marvelled at it. How much I love the flacon, so noble, so high quality, simply fantastic. When I pulled the cap off the bottle, I already smelled this intense fragrance and thought to myself, poah old swede smells the extremely heavy horny! So oriental, spicy, flowery, sweet, creamy, powdery everything in one simply stunning. In my opinion this scent of MFK is simply better than its archrival the BR540. This one has what I can't find on the BR540: the BR540 couldn't give me this WOW, the power and impact behind it is something the BR540 just doesn't have. I tested both the Extrait and the EDP of BR540 several times and came to the conclusion that it is much weaker in direct comparison to OSM. I mean of course there should be two different fragrances but I don't find the BR540 on the same level as OSM. Enough talk about BR540. Let's get to the opening: The scent starts off strongly rosy, rosy and rosy again but this other rosy one with a mixture of violet, oud, amber. If you have never smelled it before, it is very hard to imagine. The whole thing may sound monotonous and boring but when you test it you will notice how extraordinary and unique this fragrance smells. It has a special oriental touch, which you will not find in designer fragrances. The fragrance starts like this and ends like this that means: ''Linear''. If you are looking for or expecting a fragrance development here, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Which does not mean that the fragrance is boring! Not everyone will like this scent. Personally, I don't like rosy scents, but through the whole mix of notes, I think Mr. Francis Kurkdjian has managed to put me under his spell. The fragrance is extremely potent, the performance is world class. You have to be defitinitv lust to want to wear this fragrance, otherwise you won't like it. ^^ So let's come to a decision and grade the scent from 1-10 I give the OSM a 9/10, because it smells like no other scent as described above.

Shelf life: 11/10 ^^ if this one sticks to the skin I don't want to imagine the extract. The scent lasts for about 12 hours on my skin and even weeks on my clothes. I once did a test where a top of mine hung in the closet, which I had sprayed with a single sprayer. I smelled it every day to know how long it would last. Conclusion: Yes what can I say... it lasted almost a month! After 3 weeks I could still smell this scent = No Joke, try it out
Sillage: 10/10 I can also tell a short story about this. Even before my girlfriend and I moved into a shared apartment for the first time, we had an appointment for our new internet connection, which I noticed and went alone to the apartment. Arrived at the top, I waited for the employee who would activate it for us. After the employee came and had finished furnishing everything, my girlfriend came an hour later and told me, "What the hell is that extremely strong smell in the staircase? I said: I don't know, I opened the door curiously and actually smelled the OSM in the hallway :D :D about as strong you have to imagine the sillage of the smell. With this scent you definitely stand out everywhere on this planet
Flacon: 9/10 I don't have to say anything about the flacon - it's just fabulous. As I personally know, there's only one bottle that I like even more than the OSM, and that's the OSM Extrait de Parfum and the BR540 Extrait de Parfum. The look of both fragrances is beautiful with the golden "plate" to die for. Therefore it gets from me a 9/10.

Occasion: On what occasion you could or should wear the fragrance, definitely going out and the tendency is more towards the evening. Neither in leisure time nor at work.

Season: Spring but only if it is still cool, i.e. below 10 degrees, otherwise late autumn and winter !

Target group: This fragrance is unisex and opinions here are divided but I would say the fragrance suits a woman 60/40% to a man. There will be a lot of people who will say that the fragrance is more feminine and feminine, which I can understand somewhere, but you should not forget that the fragrance is unisex. Both men and women should wear this fragrance, each of whom is Ü30. A well-dressed, elegant woman, a businessman or a man with style, I can imagine this fragrance very well on such people. Since the fragrance comes with an extreme power, I would say so.

Price Performance: Is also ok for a Nichen fragrance, for getting such an exclusive, extraordinary fragrance.

Is it worth testing the perfume? Testing: EVERYTHING!!
And buying? In my opinion: Yes, but you better order a sample first. :-)

PS: I have uploaded a YouTube review about this scent but somehow the videos are constantly being deleted here. But on request I can send you the link if it should be deleted again and you are interested in it.
