    The funky sour vibe is due to exposure to heat/Sun. It happens with many fragrances containing vanilla, Tonka and other sweet notes. For example try wearing tonka imperiale on your arm then expose it to sunlight for a while. Also happened with me with tom ford lost cherry, xerjoff Italica. Certain gourmands generally .

    • @finesse75

      So would you recommend this to be worn at night? Or do you think it's mainly a late fall, winter scent?

  • @SirOreo62
    @SirOreo62 5 лет назад +7

    I’ve just purchased Ristretto as a blind buy. I had also already owned the regular Intense Cafe.
    Upon spraying I do get a little coffee. But unlike many of the YT reviews, it is not a very Coffee dominant note. The coffee note disappears after 15-30 minutes. It is then when to my nose both the Ristretto and the regular IC smell quite similar. And no, it is not the case that one is more rose dominated than the other. To my note, both have very similar rose strength. I’m short, Ristretto and the original versions overlap 90% upon spraying. After one hour of wear, they are hard to tell apart.

    Ristretto is a short shot of espresso made with a usual amount of ground coffee but grinded more finely and extracted with less water in the same amount of time. So ristretto is a more concentrated, but also lighter tasting shot of espresso.

    I got my bottle last Tuesday, and it was love at first sniff. It's everything I hope the original intense café would be when I tried that.
    It lasted all day on me until I washed it off. So I've no idea just how long it will last , but it's gone a noticeable 16 hours on me 👌
    I've only worn it twice but I've not experienced that jeckly & Hyde on my skin thankfully 🙏
    Appreciate the honesty as always 👌

    Thank you for brining this one to us Brother Kirkland. There were 4 or 5 guys on FB that featured it in the groups and I was very excited to find this review...... When you mentioned “weighted near the bottom”…, I was thinking, “I wonder if they loaded this one with coffee grounds on the bottom”😂😛😇……
    I love the comparisons and contrasts you provided in this review, your candor as usual in disclosing it was sent for review and by whom, as well as your very candid take on the scent overall- not compromising your integrity and trust in in your subs.....
    Let’s hope I get the “Dr. Jekyll” performance on my skin with this one. Not a real Mr. Hyde dude Ash😂! However, Caramel, Coffee and Vanilla with rosy nuances=Buy buy buy 4 me! Thank you Sir!

Alleen de vanille, toen Fleur du male eroverheen gelayerd en die combinatie was perfect! 👌🏻 dus ga hem nu gebruiken met 1 spray pols en dan goed over elkaar wrijven en 1 spray nek en dan goed uitsmeren om daarna Fleur du male erover heen te layeren 😂 maar zonder dollen na 48 uur en 2 x douchen rook ik nog steeds die vanille op m’n polsen 🤣

    Ashton, have you ever sampled Montale's Fruit of the Musk ?
    Just wondering if other people have a problem with that one.
    I have their Patchouli Leaves & Santal Wood. from Montale.
    I like the opening to Patchouli Leaves, but it goes hyper sweat on me.
    Santal Wood is supposed to be wood that's been adrift, I think.
    I have real sandalwood now in my collection.
    Not sure what type of sandalwood is in Montale's one, but I like my other sandalwood I have much better.
    Plus Santal Wood ghost on me, and it does do the same thing .
    Smells goods, then doesn't.
    Very strange.
    Keeping it real.
