Dangerous Complicity

Fizzy ginger ale. A bright and sparkly blast of ginger soda - I can almost feel it pop on my tongue. In an hour dries down to a comfy jasmine and something a bit powdery or creamy, comfy like an expensive cashmere sweater. Since I live in a rather hot and humid place I'd say it's great for 20-27C. Longevity is quite moderate if not shy.

I have known this perfume for a thousand years. I had not worn it for a very long time, but that made me rediscover it even better. At the opening, I clearly smell ginger and coconut. However, it does not remind me of a holiday mix. Behind this sweet side, there is soft and smooth leather. The discreet patchouli blends gently with the sandalwood. Normally, sandalwood makes me feel sick, but not here because it is used in a very subtle way. It is a very nice perfume. The storytelling does not really speak to me, but this is almost always the case with perfume brands. The longevity is good and the sillage is moderate but still noticeable. I am really enjoying wearing it during spring mostly Definitely unisex, as it is a bit heavy I wear it when the sun is out, but the weather still bit cold.

Funky is a best word to describe the character of this fragrance. When i was a kid my 16 y.o sister's room smelled like this. Blend of a coconut body lotion, sweet cheap fragrance and a leather jacket that was super popular during the "SWAG" era. It's so photorealistic to this memory, that i almost lost myself when firstly tried this. To me this is a osmanthus-leather by structure with additional boozy opening that adds a bit more camphorous feeling, maybe it's a bay leaf doing his work. There is also a floral part of sweet white-yellow florals that adds some femininity to the fragrance. Also you can find here musky-lactonic coconut on the back. I never expected it, but i really glad that this scent exist Would buy a 30 ml bottle - 100%

Absolutely love this smell as someone who is picky about floral notes. Feels very sultry and complex. I wish the sillage was stronger though.

This is an interesting ride. The opening is this amazing photorealistic rum that evaporates off the skin and for the next ten minutes or so it sees and saws, hees and haws and isn't quite sure what it wants to be. But after the rum you need to let the drydown take its course and then it settles down into something that is classically ELDO. It has some aromatics in there and some sweetness against a woody base but the overall feel is very tight and intricately blended in that the notes are interwoven together to make them challenging to pick out individually. I definitely get some florals that get stronger in the drydown and it is interesting that the jasmine doesn't jut out and dominate like jasmine often does. I enjoy the ylang-ylang in this but again, it is flighty and not defined which I think is the charm. There is osmanthus in this but again, you'd struggle to pick it out. Same for the coconut accord. It is a very accomplished bit of blending from Violaine Collas here. It is a vibe not a smell, which is very ELDO. I do not have anything else like this in my collection and I find it really interesting to experience how this changes on the skin. It is a skin scent though really and doesn't project much so if you're after an office powerhouse then this might not be your first reach. You cannot overspray this, go crazy on the nozzle if you want. What Dangerous Complicity does well is create an anonymous vibe that is not one person but all, and is not one accord but many, all woven together. Not one floral but many, against not one wood but many. It is really cleverly done. It is a really sexy skin scent and goes beyond being a date night fragrance into a genuinely erotic fragrance. It is anonymous, nameless sex with someone you don't need or want to know the name of, like Complicity in a slightly Dangerous liaison of a specific kind of mutual requirement. Yeah, it's been a while for me too. But it is nice to have an olfactory reminder of what that felt like on some level.

No rum, whiskey, cognac and other similar accord can last for more than 5 mins. In some perfumes it dissipates as soon as it appears. That much I read somewhere. Dangerous Complicity is interesting. Opens with almost a photorealistic rum accord that soon morphs into a leather note that some people may describe as burnt tyre. No sooner do the flashbulbs strike you than it becomes a soft floral sitting close to your skin giving a beachy vibe. I would have 'digged this' more if those interesting notes of rum-leather with that citrusy touch continued that gave it a distinct edge. That's the reason I love Shalimar and Gucci Guilty Absolute.

For some reason this just smells like jasmine lotion

Tropical floral with a little fruitiness and... plastic? I'm not getting any of the darker, more masculine notes, it just smells like a bathroom spray with palm trees on the can to me. And plastic. Not really terrible but not a smell I would particularly want coming from my body.

I dont know...there is something that makes me nauseous, that smells like not sexy sweat, see my review of Shabby Chic — Giardini Di Toscana as it is partly similar. Otherwise coconut is there, ginger and rhum in the beginning also hot asphalt (what you smell when road repair is performed) but it is not dark or sultry, very unbalanced non-modern composition. Drydown is better, but goes to plain vanilla thus not much interesting.

previous review nailed it but i would say that in the same way it works for a tatted up masc lesbian it also works for a man whose baddie girlfriend bought this for him and really likes when he wears it out with her

what i told a friend “ dangerous complicity is very rum and leather and spicy in like a womanly way, like maybe this is a tatted up masc lesbian. It’s really woody almost like cupboard or countertop but i like it a lot” I dont have much to say about it. it’s a very good fragrance.

Dangerous Complicity is a sultry skin scent; warm rum and ginger spices melt into creamy coconut, jasmine, and osmanthus, with just a whisper of leather. The base is smooth sandalwood and vanilla wrapped in patchouli, creating an intimate, second-skin warmth. It’s not loud but it has this pull to it, quiet, a bit mysterious and kind of addictive. I also get the modern edgy crystal noir reference with this one. Not the same but similar vibes. IG/tiktok: @wilddew_vibes

Smells like a whore that gets flown out to tropical places. Sexy and exotic. I don't know why it says unisex as I can't imagine the type of man that could wear this. This is a gift I would buy for a high class escort.

Lipstick, booze, and motorcycles. Huge bad girl energy.

this fragrance should be the new-generation crystal noir. don't get me wrong it doesn't smell similar (maybe besides coconut), but because it shares the same spirit: girly, versatile, easily digestible, but it's never boring or too obvious.

Almost nonexistent. The moment I apply it, it seems to evaporate, leaving behind nothing but a question: Where in the world did it go?? it disappears. Completely. Is the mixture too weak, or does my skin erase it from existence? What is going on? On a paper strip or concentrated in one area, it has a faint designer perfume vibe. Mildly floral, slightly sweet, but still feels very diluted. There’s occasionally coconut and rum as it settles, but it isn’t tropical in the slightest. I was questioning if I had COVID at some point, or if allergies are dulling my senses?? But nope… I can smell everything else just fine: my other perfumes, my coffee, everyday scents. Just not this? I only get random fleeting whiffs as I move. When i do smell it i feel like I’m rolling around in a cute lady’s bed. I don’t understand whatsoever why this is branded as being like Adam & Eve, that would be Putain des Palaces for me. I was expecting it to smell like Snowy Owl (Zoologist) but it smells nothing like that. From what I can smell, it is pleasant I suppose. I wouldn’t call it bad, but it’s like a strange floral flavored water smell.

Coconut, osmanthus and cashmere wood.. a powdered coconut cashmere suede, touch of warmth of the rum accord. Not that intense, good for someone who loves powdery perfumes. It smells quite creamy and boozy on my skin. This perfume won't captivate you on the first spray but will grow on you, I like it more and more.

Initially it starts off as a very creamy floral fragrance with a hint of red lipstick? that brings about a more feminine scent to one’s nose; after about 6sh hrs it becomes an almost soft woody fragrance that leans slightly on a masculine profile but sweet. I wore it at work and no one seemed to notice it I would randomly get wiffs of it anytime I turned around or walked and abruptly stoped as if it were following me. So I assume it leaves someone’s of a trail? But no one said anything so… it’s nice though:)

i really like this - i purchased the full bottle after finishing my sample. it's a very clean, powdery floral with a woody dry down - it reminds me of how dove's original bar soap smells, which i love. i would've guessed there were some violet in this, as it has a sharp, tart edge to it, but there isn't. in spite of it's name it is very safe - i'd say it's quite feminine, and overall just really nice, whilst still having an interesting enough scent profile. i guess if i was to sum it up - it's not like the other girls. different on the surface but still palatable, almost trying too hard. i just enjoy it for what it is - it's a cold, soapy, powdery wood floral, that's an easy wear for me. 8/10

masculine, generic, fresh, mineral, plasticky. As it dries it weirdly becomes a little sharp. I dont like masculine scents anyway but even on a man it would not stand out. It has that generic "herbal 3 in 1 mens shower gel" vibe. Its a weird one because I get something slightly different each sniff. Its definitely a no from me, it does smell uninteresting and basic.

There's nothing dangerous about this. It's nice, but I thought it would be something else based on the name. It's like called "Frosted Flakes" something like "Anarchy Chips."

While the rum or coconut and don't appear for me, it's pleasant enough for the few sparse minutes that it exists, but then it's gone. Don't waste your money.

Quite sweet, orange blossomy to my nose, clean but a little bit spicy, cashmere, jasmine, sandalwood. It's supposed to have osmanthus in it but I don't know what that's supposed to smell like. It's a little childish, something I could see a Nanny wearing a spritz or two of for work. I'm not incredibly impressed by it, there's no wow factor but it's very wearable, you could probably wear this anywhere. Deff has layering potential. Dries down quickly to an ambery cashmere. Not bad just not a must have by any means.

LMFAAO IS IT THAT SERIOUS DAWGG

i hope the creator of ylang ylang note kill himself

For me, this dries down to a woody floral-ish skin scent that my husband finds utterly intoxicating (seriously like catnip for him). On some of my friends it is "too masculine" not not womanly enough and some of my guy friends think that it is clearly femme. It is like a Basic B level ELDO scent, maybe a good newbie-friendly introduction scent for their work. ELDO's Frustration remains my ELDO fave and MVP of my perfumes, but this is a totally uncomplicated, unobtrusively pleasant daily driver that might not net compliments from random strangers.

Smelled intensely chemically/chlorine-like on my skin at first, but eventually dried down to a very pretty floral. Seems like a fragrance that could be worn day to day. Doesn't project as much or last as long as other ELDO fragrances to me.

A really complex scent. Powdery and softly sweet. Even then I still think it leans slightly masculine. This is because I really found the scent remind me so much of the Dior Homme Intense. Right off in the very opening I thought it was the iris note and that really got me to think of DHI. I even like this much better than DHI. Lasted over four hours on skin and over twelve on clothing.

I just got a tester to try it out and straight after the first spray it hit me with some nostalgic feeling and i realised i smelled it on me dozens times… One of my favourite combos is Jazz club and Myrrh&tonka and it became my signature, yet a bit heavy sometimes so i went looking for something new. Blindly got this one and i can’t even comprehend how accurate this is to what i mixed on my skin before. I don’t get osmanthus here, but more of a flower-ish sweet myrrh&tonka with a hint of whisky in it. Also the coconut is not candy-like and not too sharp. For me turned out very wearable and not giving this awkward strong perfume aura (that you are praying no one will be in the elevator with you), settling really quickly and giving a comfortable feeling. 100% will go for a full size.
