I just noticed recently that maturation made my Adam Levine fragrance way stronger. I think it also made the vanilla more prominent, which I really enjoy. I’m sorry it’s too strong for you! For me, I think it’s just the right amount of strength. Maybe my nose is less sensitive. I’d give it a 7 out of 10 on strength, and fragrances I’d rate higher than that are usually too much for me. I got a sample of Lattafa’s Khamrah, which I’d rate as a 10 on strength, and I can smell it all over my apartment when I even just open the drawer that the sample’s sitting in. I absolutely cannot wear it!
Oh I reckon I could smell most Lattafa perfumes from space! Too strong! I reckon I can wear 5/10 strength-wise and occasionally push it to 6/10 in cold weather, but only with certain notes!. I'm too fussy for genuinely strong perfumes but my soft spot for more powerful scents seems to be those with aldehydes. No5, Poison, Cabotine etc.... although I tend to go for the softest version of all of those profiles lol. Cabotine de Gres edp for instance - only in ice-cold weather! The edt version was oddly too strong for me but the edp is a bit calmer.
@ ooh I like the idea that there are certain notes a person can tolerate more than others. If the Adam Levine were that strong with ambroxan or anything like that, I certainly wouldn’t tolerate it (tbh over time I think either fragrances have started using that note a lot more or I’ve become more and more sensitive to it). I think my tolerance is highest for floral vanillas and sandalwoods. So interesting to think about!
I felt the exact same way you did about Estée Lauder Dream Dusk. I didn’t like it at all. It just smelled off. I’ve smelled a few from this line and so far Desert Eden is my favorite, Turkish Rose, sandalwood and olibanum. It’s lovely. I want to get my hands on Sensuous Stars which has lavender, plum and orris I think which intrigues me. Loved your video as always! 😊
glad you like the videos! I think that Estée Lauder is one of those houses that uses the sort of aroma chemicals that give me headaches - I’ve never found one that works for me!
I like Adam Levine for Women but I have given it to one of my brothers because with the maceration I find it a little strong for me. But I have kept a sample just to sniff it sometimes. By the way, my brother loves it.
I remember buying Brit EDP in January 23 after watching you talking about it it really does come alive in cold crisp weather I love it 😊
I feel like I will have to wear it this week... I could still smell the edt on my coat yesterday and now I'm craving Brit again!
I found the Adam Levine very strong when you sent me a sample. 😊
I think it's got even stronger! Amazingly good quality and value, but not "me".
@skinscentsforfusspots nor me 😂

I bought the Adam Levine for the marigold and qiite like it. I don't find it overwhelming at all.
I'm happy for you because it's beautiful!

I think I'll do the same and keep a little sample!
Adam Levine gives me pencil shavings. I just can’t bring myself to wear it. 😢
Interesting! I don't get pencil shavings from this, but it it isn't an easy wear!
