Revelation CB I Hate Perfume for women and men

INCREDIBLE! This is a gorgeous soft woody floral with a fresh ripe fig chewiness in the openinng and a delicate honeycomb waxy dry down circa Jean Patou 's Joy, but minus all the complexity and monster silage of Joy. It begins with a tasty mouthwatering impression and then morphs within the initial few minutes into a heavenly delicate floral aura, not sweet nor heady, just lilting. The end is swaying languidly on a hammock of honey between two large woody trees, lazily floating in and out of consciousness. This is a very wearable light scent for Late Summer into Fall IMO. Strangely enough after 3hours I am left feeling as if I just bathed with a triple milled honey soap. This is FBW for me.

Tested Revelation this evening. I think reviewer huiyt jumped to his conclusion a bit fast BUT there is absolutely something off-putting in the juice - some note that I wouldn't rush to call "urine" but is something "not desirable" in most situations. My gut says maybe it's a by-product of some chemical interaction - that maybe it's not intentional. But my gut is not a chemist, alas, so WTF do I know!

I do know that this is a distinctive and thought-provoking scent. My net-net is that I'm not a fan of it. I'm a major CB booster, and this is his fist concoction that I have to say I will not wear again. That's not a strike against CB though - you can't please everybody with every scent, and I give him big kudos for continuously trying innovative things. Please keep it up, dude!

The honey feels on the "overwhelming" side to me. Assuming the source is natural and not synthetic, perhaps the off-note is a by-product of the honey source? Honeys can vary SO much based on the geography they were produced in.

REVELATION is definitely a woody fragrance in the beginning and in the end with honeyed like fig in the middle. It has an interesting composition and strong character but it is smooth enough not to knock me down. I do not have many woody scents but this one might make it into my collection. It is pleasant to wear and I find the scent’s development to be quite lovely on my skin.

The cypress is listed in the base but I definitely detect it in the opening. In fact, the cypress note is very lovely mixed with the light fig scent. It has very Mediterranean vibe to it, aromatic, fresh and lovely. The scent changes significantly in the heart notes when the honeyed, ripe fig takes the stage. The scent is still layered on a woody tone, which I find quite appealing. In the dry down, the woods come forward again with the cedar leading the way. The composition finally develops into woody scent with a bit of amber.

I was looking for a fig fragrance but I might have found my cypress fragrance. I do like this interpretation of the fig with a strong woody accent but if you are looking for a fragrance that represents the fig at its best, this would not be my first choice. My overall rating is 7/10.

I smells like urine on me. A scrubber...
