Ex Libris Tokyo Milk Parfumarie Curiosite for women and men

I was disappointed with this fragrance. I saw it contains notes of cardamom, but it certainly doesn't smell like it. It smells like 50/50 citrus and fig leaf. I don't smell magnolia or musk either. It's not a bad fragrance, but it's nothing like the notes imply. Test before you buy.

A milky, smokey, vanilla leather something or other, last about 4 hours on me. I find this scent very comforting.

A silky bonfire on my skin. Love.

I was really hanging out for this, hoping to get a musty, dusty old book smell, but couldn't get it from America, all out of stock. To my delight I found a super expensive boutique in Melbourne which had it so I paid waaaay more than I really should have and got it. Of course, I was disappointed. The magnolia and cardamom were quite prominent, and the other two notes did not make an appearance. It lasted only a couple of hours max. on my skin, and did not go through any sort of dry-down, just stayed the same. It is a pleasant but non-descript perfume with nothing that grabs you. I can really only give it a 4/10.
