The scent opens up in such a unique way— it’s hard to describe, but it makes me think of a cold sweet breeze, violets, and plastic pool toys in the sun. I’ve never smelt Dama Bianca, but reading it’s notes, and smelling Junoon Noir, I have a feeling that this might be the best dupe. It is not a typical beast mode Arabian, attar, Oud heavy fragrance at all and the black bottle is very misleading. Within just a few minutes the initial strength of the citrus dissipates, and it dries down to the most beautiful powdery, creamy, light vanilla musk scent.

It’s unrefined, harsh, not smooth and soft like Dama Bianca, it’s hard to explain because they kind of smell the same but they are so different, like a cheap version of Dama Bianca, which it is, and you can tell. The tester comes without the fancy packaging (usually in a plain white box) and often without a cap (unless mentioned otherwise). The reason is that there were countless occasions I would be going to do something social (ie family gathering), look at all my fragrances and just want something inoffensive yet sweet and feminine. The floral blend in here ends up sorta becoming its own thing, as I can’t really pick out a specific flower that this smells like. And because scents reveal your essence, you'll receive recommendations that fit your olfactory personality like a glove.It’s about a 95% dupe to my nose only seeing a slight difference that Dama Bianca is a tad bit smoother. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. I can't even describe how it smells but the best I can do is say that it's like a powdery creamy vanilla iris that also has the smell of a fresh new leather bag. I have no idea why the tart, powdery, sweetness almost reminds me of new leather but I want to lick it? I would also feel amazing wearing this to a job interview: for when I need to believe I’m sharp and put together.

The scent reminds me of a lemon cake (thanks to the ongoing citrus smell while the perfume lasts) and iris/violet powder. It smells a little bit powdery in the dry down but predominantly sweet vanilla, musk and something deep and alluring about it maybe the citrus keeps it slightly fresh but its definitely sweet and for me the best out of the range.Hours later the strong smell goes away and you may smell vanilla still sweet and warm followed by a creamy sandalwood this kind of projection stays till the end. Unique scent profile ( well, apart from Dama Bianca according to comparisons I have read) I spent an entire day trying to figure out what it reminds me of and the closest I got was Sol de Janeiro's Bom Dia cream + Korres Cucumber and Bamboo body lotion mixed! Like, a sales associate with super arched eyebrows and black court heels is coming over to me right now. I've worn both within the last 24 hours; although Junoon Noir is a pleasant, easy wearing fragrance, it lacks depth, longevity, and silage.

The fruit… kumquat, is not something I have any experience with but to me it’s almost like a cross between a pear and melon.

And although it's not gourmand it's *perhaps* a little bit lemon sherbert; there's a dizziness and vivacity going on. I’d say low to moderate projection / sillage - but the performance is not bad, around 4-5 hours on me which is pretty good as my skin drinks perfume. I tip my hat to the perfumer of Dama Bianca, in fact he deserves an award, this is DDDDiiiiviiineeeeee! Side by side they are very similar but Junoon Noir is a bit sweeter and has much better projection and longevity on my skin (woohoo!

I don't think people who love trendy, heavy, fruity, extremely sweet, and/or gourmand fragrances would like this much.I would say that, on my skin, Junoon noir is creamier and definitely more powdery (I know that it is a personal thing, but I don't really like perfumes with a prominent powdery note because they are nauseating to me, and Junoon noir walks this thin line, where the powdery note is prominent enough to make me nauseous, whereas the powdery note in Dama Bianca is very faint and light, and it doesn't stand out from the overall composition as much as in Junoon noir).
