Yup, that's 30 ml for £925.
If this tester isn't spoiled, then it is not so much the Emperor's New Clothes as the Emperor covering his testicles in glue and glitter and sitting atop a Christmas tree, waving his wand. No, it's not worth nearly a thousand quid, far from it. I have to face the possibility that there is something wrong with the sample. The liquid is very dark, though that's not always an indicator of trouble. the oil runs thick on my wrists. You aren't supposed to rub perfumes, but if you don't with this, the trickle factor is a thing.
Aaaaaand there's oud, some other stuff, musk too of course. Then there's smoke. Smoke! Have some more smoke!
Then there's a weird chemical headache, and for the first time with any of these testers, I have had to wash the stuff off within the first half an hour. Apart from a vague olfactory buzz all it brings me is a painful bonce. I will contact the suppliers, see if this was an old batch or something.
But if this is the perfume as it stands, it either seriously does not suit my skin, or it is a massive rip-off. Yeesh.
