Honestly, I thought it might be too much with all the spiciness. But the blend works! The turmeric is kinda an interesting twist, and I like how it plays with the warmth of the vanilla. It's unique but also super cozy. I’d say it’s perfect for fall and winter. Just be aware it’s not a loud fragrance, so if you like big projections, you might wanna test it first.
Shine Despite Everything is definitely an interesting one! The frankincense makes it a little mystical, while the warm vanilla grounds it. I love how it doesn’t go too heavy on any single note. I can see wearing it for special occasions or even just chilled weekends at home. You guys, it lasts a solid 6 hours - not bad for an everyday scent!
I’m totally obsessed with this scent! It opens with a zesty kick, but as it settles, that frankincense comes through and it’s like comfort in a bottle. I find myself reaching for it at night or when I wanna feel fancy. It reminds me of Tom Ford’s more intense offerings, but this has its own vibe. The longevity is solid, too. Such a gem!
I love this! It feels so luxurious. The combo of vanilla and that warm, spicy kick from the pimento is just delicious. It's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket. I've been wearing it for date nights and getting compliments for days. And the best part? It lasts ages! I can still smell it on my clothes the next day.
Honestly, I didn't expect to love this as much as I do! The blend of frankincense and that sweet vanilla really wraps around you like a warm hug. It feels sophisticated without being over the top. Perfect for both day and night. I wouldn't say the projection is beast mode, but it sticks close and lasts around 6 hours on me. Totally worth trying if you want something special!
This one's super interesting! The turmeric gives it a nice spice, while the Madagascar vanilla adds a creamy sweetness that’s really addictive. It’s a warm, cozy scent, perfect for cooler days. I would’ve liked a bit more projection though, it’s kinda close to the skin after a few hours. Still, I find myself reaching for it a lot! Definitely a unique twist in my collection.
I wasn’t sure about this one at first, but wow, it grew on me fast! The frankincense adds such a nice depth, making it feel super sophisticated. It’s warm but not overpowering. Great for those laid-back evenings out or even at work. It didn't project like a beast, but it had decent longevity, staying on my skin for about 7 hours.
OMG, Shine Despite Everything is amazing! The turmeric and pimento give it this spicy kick that I absolutely love. It's warm and cozy, perfect for fall vibes. Plus, the Madagascar vanilla makes it sweet without being too cloying. I feel like it lasts forever on my skin, which is a huge bonus. Totally recommend for someone looking for something different and exotic!
OMG, Shine Despite Everything is a gem! The warm Madagascar vanilla and the spiciness from pimento really do something magic together. It strikes that perfect balance between sweet and a bit exotic. I wore it to a dinner party, and everyone wanted to know what I was wearing. It lasts all day, which is a huge plus! Definitely getting a full bottle soon.
So, Shine Despite Everything is decent, but honestly, it doesn't blow me away. The turmeric and frankincense give it a spicy vibe, which is cool, but overall, it's kinda generic. It lasts around 6 hours, maybe more if you're lucky, and the projection is pretty close to the skin. I expected something more unique for the price. If you love warm, slightly sweet scents, it’s worth a try but don’t go in expecting fireworks.
I really enjoy this fragrance! The mix of vanilla and that warm akigalawood creates a cozy feeling. It kinda reminds me of being wrapped in a soft blanket on a chilly day. It's perfect for date night but also works for the office. I did notice it fades after a few hours, but the scent is nice enough to make me forgive that. Definitely keeping this one around!
Oud Save The Queen is def unique! I love the blend of bergamot and clove; it gives this fresh yet warm vibe. The tea note softens the oud, making it super wearable. But, I wish it lasted a bit longer—only about 6 hours on my skin. Perfect for cooler nights or a special occasion!
I get the bergamot and clove in the opening, which is kinda nice, but it doesn't wow me. The Earl Grey vibe is there too, super tea-like, but it fades away pretty fast. For me, it's decent but nothing special. I was hoping for more oud to come through, but it feels more mellow. I'd say the projection is light, so you might have to spray frequently if you want it to stick around. Definitely not a beast mode scent, but if you're curious about oud without being overwhelmed, give it a shot.
Honestly, I was excited to try this but it’s not completely my thing. The opening is nice with that bergamot freshness, but the oud gets kinda heavy. It’s definitely different, but I find it more suited for an older crowd. Performance is okay, but I was hoping for better projection.
So, Shine Despite Everything is such a lovely fall perfume! The turmeric is super unique, and that hint of spice makes it feel special. It also has this warm vanilla dry down that I just can't get enough of. My only gripe is the projection isn’t the best; it’s definitely more of a personal scent. But hey, it’s versatile enough for both casual days and something fancy!
Honestly, not my favorite. The frankincense is a bit too heavy for me, and the pimento gives a weird kick that I’m not vibing with. It’s like two different fragrances battling for attention. On the plus side, it does last pretty long, around 6 hours, but I just expected more cohesion. I wanted to love it, but it’s a miss for me.
Honestly, Oud Save The Queen is a pleasant wear, but it feels kinda flat. I was looking forward to the oud and guaiac wood combo, but it ends up being overshadowed by the bergamot and tonka bean. The clove adds a nice spicy touch, but I wish it had a bit more character. It's good for everyday wear when you want something light, but it doesn't stand out like some others I've tried, like Delina. Performance is okay, maybe around 6 hours max. Not bad, just not memorable enough for me.
So, I was really looking forward to Shine Despite Everything, but honestly, it kinda let me down. The turmeric and frankincense combo sounded intriguing, but it ends up feeling pretty bland to me. The sweetness from the vanilla feels cheap and synthetic rather than cozy. Plus, projection is pretty weak; I barely caught whiffs of it after an hour. I wanted something bold and unique, but it feels more like an afterthought. Not something I'd reach for again, tbh.
I tried Shine Despite Everything, and it’s... alright? The pimento hit me first, which was interesting, but then it kinda settled into this vanilla and woody base that reminded me of a lighter version of something by Atkinsons. Performance is okay; I got about 5-6 hours out of it. It's nice for everyday wear but tbh, I wouldn’t reach for it over others like Delina. Just feels a bit forgettable.
Honestly, Oud Save The Queen missed the mark for me. I was excited about the bergamot and clove notes, but they kinda just faded too fast. It's like I get a glimpse of something nice, then it disappears. Plus, the oud is kinda subdued, not that punchy vibe I love. Performance is average, lasts about 6 hours but not much projection, so it's more of a skin scent. Definitely feel like I overpaid for this one. Just not my thing, tbh.
