Thoughts on Riffaaqat by Paris Corner
Recently added Riffaaqat to the collection and my first thoughts are that I don’t like it. I just got it in a few days ago so I’m not sure if it’s one of those situations where I just need to toss it in a drawer and let it play with itself for a while.
There’s a thickness or heaviness to the scent I don’t know how to describe it exactly. It’s not a pleasant thickness or heaviness that I would describe scents such as Sauvage Elixir and Tuscan Leather. Almost like a chalkiness but not quite and after testing it out the last couple days I don’t really vibe with it I even scrubbed it off today and I don’t normally do that cause there are a good many scents I’ve hated on first wearing but love today. Almost as if the juice just isn’t blended well and some of the notes are clashing but I can’t tell what’s creating that thickness (for a lack of better words).
Is anyone familiar with how accurate of a clone this is to YSL Babycat? I haven’t tried the OG so maybe I just don’t like the DNA but I’ve tried and liked things like Eau De Audacity by Penhaligons which has a lot of similarities.
