8 88 (for women and men)

I also feel something metallic in this fragrance. For me this note is slightly unpleasant, though the whole composition is soft and harmonic, perfectly balanced, very smooth (like the feel of this modern golden bottle in your hand).

A very interesting fragrance. At first it seems warm and slightly peppery, but with a metallic undernote which remains throughout. I think the safron adds a touch of sweetness which seems to come and go. After a while the amber becomes more and more prominent, and adds to the comforting warmness and 'golden' impression. Though the peppery and metallic notes keeps making a reappearance. It seems to keep subtly changing all the time - very strange and quite fascinating.

I think this is definitely unisex - I like it on me but would also love to smell it on a man. Definitely worth a try if you like warm, ambery fragrances

I loved this scent for its unusualness but did not commit to buy it on the day I tried it....but I went back the following day. While I am a traditional and classic connoisseur of good perfumes, I love a challenge. This was the one: very interesting scent full of contradictions and tension. Like metal it can be cold and warm at the same time (depending on how and what time of day/ year you wear it), very modern/ architectural, minimalistic yet floral, really strangely pleasant and most certainly luxurious. I think they really hit the nail on the head on how one would interpret the metal gold to smell. I bought it on the day Mariah Carey did her signing in London, so this scent will always remind me of meeting my long-time idol. A modern classic for me, the ultimate feel good hip-hop blinger for a posh night out....like a MIMI RnB video. Very gold, very lush, very festive, VEEERY SEXY.

At a first sniff, I can't understand why it's such that expensive. But after a few days, I can't get out of thinking of 888. Strong yet sweet, dry yet wet, cold yet hot. Metallical gentle. But, I'd rather call 888 a toilet. It doesn't have a longervity enough to be called a perfume. Anyway, What a strange nice scent!

Testing fragrance Pt.II: This is warming up wonderfully. I am now getting notes of pepper with amber.

Testing this fragrance out: This was described to me as a summer fragrance for men. It is light, sweet, floral with hints of incense.
My first impression: I would recommend this for women before I would for men.
