This phase continues for over 8 hours with the woody/leather core and violet/spice/smoke playing peek-a-boo with your nose the whole time. The funny thing is, I worked so much on the balance of so many ingredients that I forgot how it all started. as it settles on the skin, the spices begin to come forward in their dusty, sort of old-spice-cabinet way, ever so slightly with the patchouli, rendering a tone of earthiness, and woodiness, contributed by the cedar. Begin your sensory journey with top notes of lavender and green coriander, crafting an elegant and refreshing introduction in our premium perfume for men. I love under my skin so much, but this enters kind of a musty territory for me, but i'm trying to take my time to understand it.

Ultimately, the "darkness" feels more like "depth" and, as others on here have commented, I also find it less "sexy" and more "esoteric". Immerse yourself further in the allure with middle notes of green notes, orange blossom, and neroli—creating a harmonious blend exclusive to our premium perfume for men.I put my eyes on this perfume as soon as I saw the name and the reviews describing this as dark/gothic and "what vampires would wear". This is a sumptuous, warm, smooth and oh so very beautiful fragrance with a heavenly dark side (as the name suggests), which adds a depth to the composition to make it incredibly addictive and intoxicating.

Sensual, mouth watering vanilla perfectly blended with powdery and very classy, sophisticated iris note. I would say it edges a touch towards the feminine but if a fella likes some sweetness then Im sure he will love this. Francesca Bianchi's perfumes have gained a reputation for being sensual and provocative, all unusual, powerful and distinct extrait de parfums.

Edit: wearing Good Girl under yesterday's The Dark Side-scented sweatshirt adds more sweetness and obscures the isopropanol edge that was still prominent on my sweater. There's something dramatic, dirty pervert, about this perfume, very Baudelerian, it makes me feel depressed.
