On clean skin, spray once or twice on desired areas. Do not rub the fragrance on skin. This will alter how the fragrance develops. Ingredients I compared the two of them side by side (one tiny spritz on each wrist) earlier this morning, and it was immediately apparent that the Parfum was behaving better. It's rounder, creamier and more chocolatey, it wants to seduce you. Enter the BO Parfum. First wow is for the bottle, shiny golden screaming for a Hollywood star vanity. Like earth, damp, wet soil. But when it introduce along with Orchid note in bed of Chocolate and Vanilla.

The EDT is the brightest, freshest version of the scent. It’s better for spring or summer evenings. Out of the three this one has the best projection but the longevity is not as good - probably just 3-4 hours. I find this to be the most feminine leaning of the line although they are all perfectly unisex. It's strong but not overwhelming for me, and I've worn it year round for the last five years or so. Daytime and evening. Sorry if you've ever been on the tube with me in the Summer at rush hour. That being said, sillage isn't as giant as I initially thought it would be, or my skin chemistry does something to those big truffle notes everyone gets. It does last nicely on my clothes, but not on my skin as much. Sometimes I'm hit by a note of smoky chocolate on my arms the next morning, but it's typically more powdery scents that linger on me, sadly. Finally, for the next few hours I can detect a vanillic boozy note- it's not overpowering since the earthy chocolate and fruit are still there, but it adds a nice "come sniff me again and again" aspect to the fragrance.I feel confident when I wear this because I know this scent will create an awesome scent memory with whoever encounters me. And as a man of color, this fragrances smells like it was made for me. I may just be too much of a basic bitch to appreciate this and maybe it will grow on me...but as of right now, I'm glad I sampled first. If you don't like the EDP, you will hate this. And if you own the EDP, it would be pretty redundant. Definitely more feminine to my nose, but then again the original is just barely unisex for me... The smokey notes in the base notes really come out in the dry down, giving it that sensual close to the skin type of smell, and because of that distinct scent I can understand why some say its sex in a bottle; it just is.

Projection was close to your bubble, so was sillage. This will be a scent that doesn't reach across a room- but anyone walking side by side with your or sitting across a restaurant table will be able to catch whiffs of this. Longevity was excellent. Applying at 8PM and a shower later, I woke up the next day and could still smell this on my skin. Definitely an exclusively night-time scent, can't wait for clubs to reopen so I can wear this out, it has such a magnetic quality to it. The juice is nasty. When I tried it for the first time, I was like "whooooaaa...nooo..holy cow, it stinks unbearably!". One of the best in my collection, and in winter this is my first choice for an important event. It smells so dark, so earthy and so complex and classy, evolves into something different by second. The truffles, the juicy winter fruits, the booze. An open buffet for your dark soul. Eternal longevity, one of the longest lasting in my collection and in first couple of hours it will make its presence felt in a room full of people. Stands out. Do not apply more than 4 sprays though. It may be too headache inducing on other people. I put some on today since I work from home and I don't have to worry about feeling self conscious wearing it. Maybe I can see why I really have kept it for about 15 years now? Really think about why I still own it for this long. Hmm.... I must admit that it's still unique for what it is. Even though there are many other scents that try to emulate it and some are pretty close but none are really this one. As this scent ages, the truffle note really does become more mentholated to me and honestly I actually love it. If you don't overspray this scent, you can really enjoy the chocolate note, the patchouli note and myriad of fruit notes this one has.I own and wear the EDT, the parfum, and the EDP. If I was to do a brief side by side comparison of all three this would be my conclusion; You can maybe in the long and lively development sometimes detect some separate notes for a short time like the dark chocolate, the incense, the orchid, the vanilla, the amber... But you are literarlly blown away by this concentrated mass attact of awesome perfume power. Smell and awe. Incense, dark chocolate, orchid, vanilla, amber and gardenia are the most pronounced notes for me.

The left side of the shirt, that probably was rubbed with my left wrist sprayed with BO Parfum, is smelling heavenly (truffles, vanilla, chocolate and liquor).Ps. I don't know where to put this but Fruity note here really remind me of Fruity note in La Nuit de L'homme Le Parfum. They both share nondescript fruity note and it's somewhat smell similar, with sharing wet Patchouli.
