Is Drunk Lovers worth it?
How it smells: Opens with citronella, bergamot and lemon, brandy and pepper at the heart, then dries down to amber and cedarwood.
Scent Score: 82/100 (Great). Hidden gem. Established and performs well, but few people know about it. Performance 80, reputation 80, versatility 79, layerability 99 and value 80, each out of 100.
“Very unique, and a nighttime scent to me. It smells like a day-old Cabernet spilled on the table or left in the glass, with dried fruit and wood underneath. There's a penetrating old-fruit booze to it, almost vanillic: old wine and very ripe fruit that's been sitting.”
