Got this as a gift for my younger brother, he loved it! He kept getting compliments and one of his friends offered to trade it for a Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford!

The scent is sweet, dark and game! The gold bottle makes one feel free, charming and daring. A fine scent!

On me this smells like metallic amber. Why did I buy this blind??? I'm selling my bottle, send me a message if youre interested. I have only test sprayed it once. I'm also willing to trade it for something else. Just check out my wish list.

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.
