Option Review:13ml Spray
A juicy sweet spicy opening, I love it. Without looking at the notes listed, I could immediately pick up the cardamon, and pepper (they have paprika, I got more spiciness than that). 10 minutes in and they disappear, leaving space for the gourmand notes to dance. I love it, PP did a great job. Although the ambroxan is not listed as a note, I smell something like it. Not as a prime soloist, but way back in the background. And I like it in this formulation.

Option Review:30ml Spray
Very long-lasting one. And very lovely, warm, creamy, sweet with a touch of florals. I don't get any animalic vibe, but I guess the overall composition is in a way pheromonal, erotic, because the scent kind of turns you on. I don't know the original, but this PP is definitely an absolute aphrodisiac

So nice, sweet, creamy and aromatic, pretty close to Naxos

If you like very powdery frags, this one is it. Very very powdery to my nose with a touch of white roses and iris. A gorgeous scent for the first 30 minutes; after that is kind of good-smelling baby powder. I don't know the original, but as I read the fragrantica comments, that is also very baby powder, so I guess this PP replica nailed that.

Elegant, mature, well-crafted fragrance. It's floral and musky sweet in drydown, tuberose is the note that most speak to me. Great one, even I don't know the original.

It is a great recreation, although I only smelled the original a couple of times. This one has the same resemblance to Tuscan Leather, but a more wearable leather. I know the leather accord is not listed in the notes, but it is there for sure. I love this PP dupe but is not lasting for too much on the skin. First I thought is because I was working out and sweating. But the second time when I wore it, the same lack of lasting-power. Around 4 hours, only in the first 30 minutes some moderate projection and after that a skin scent. Maybe it needs to macerate for some months? I'll see. So if PP will improve those aspects, this one would be perfect. Other than that, I tank to PP for this Nasomatto recreation, I truly appreciate it, that's why my overall rating is 5/5. The perfume is good for the price tag compared to the original. And good to have it recreated, no other inspiration houses I know about have it on their lists, so again PP, kudos to you.

A very long-lasting one, I got over 10 hours from the 2 sprays behind my ears. From sniffing the wrist, after around 5-6 hours I did not get any of it, maybe because there is more exposure to evaporation, don't know. But from behind the ears, throughout the day and after going to bed I kept getting a whiff of this precious frag. Regarding projection, my kids and husband did not smell it at all around me, only when they got very close to my skin, so yes, this is not perfect. But, as it is not a crowd pleaser, only for the fans of aromatic woody perfumes, there is no need to project. INHO. Anyway, if I smell it for a long time, if it keeps me company all day long and it makes me smile, that is enough. Please PP, never stop doing this.

I don't own the original, and I don't know it deeply and completely as a nose or a forever fan would do. I only tested it a few times and was a love at the first sniff. So, imagine my surprise and pleasure when I check it out on Parlour and found out they have a version of Absinth. Now, my only regret is that I bought the 13ml Spray only... I wasn't sure they made it right. But man, it is right as I remember the original. Of course, I don't expect it to be completely the same, and as I said, a nose or a connoisseur will surely spot some differences. But for me, a new fan of Nasomatto house, and for the rest of us who care more for the overall perfume vibe than a note by note, accord by accord comparison, this is a great dupe. It is aromatic, woody, spicy, green, fresh but warm, and sweet in the beginning... I only can pick up the aromatic greens, the fresh spices, the vetiver and the cedar wood, I don't get the wormwood. But this is happening to me with the original too, and I do know the wormwood smell, I had it in my garden for a long time. A great dupe for sure. I don't know the longevity yet, but I will get back with a later edit. Now it is three hours after spraying it, and I feel it quite strongly. In conclusion, a great aromatic perfume, a very unique scent, however, a pretty safe blind buy for the ones who love the genre...

A very nice fragrance, pretty close to Lira. And it lasts and lasts, and after 10 hours I still get to smell it when I move my head (spayed only on the skin, not on the clothes).

Option Review:30ml Spray
I don't know what to think about this one. I blind-bought it based on the reviews here and of the original on Fragrantica (I don't know the original). And I regret... Maybe it has to macerate, however to me, it's nothing special nor unique. It's like when, thanks to PP and all the other clone houses, one has so many perfumes, great ones, some out of this world, it's a lost time to wear something indefinite like this. When you have the chance to smell great, don't just settle for the ordinary. But again, maybe is just me, my skin or not a good batch/not macerated enough.
