   A couple of wears in, The Dark Side has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Honey with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   For a 2016 release, The Dark Side deserves more attention than it gets. The heart is the best part for me: Honey and Incense feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Honey with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

   A decant of The Dark Side sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Honey and Incense feel carefully balanced. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I have owned The Dark Side for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Honey with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   Everyone keeps talking about The Dark Side, so I finally gave it a proper test. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Honey with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I picked up The Dark Side (2016) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Honey and Incense feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   I have owned The Dark Side for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Honey and Incense feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Honey with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

   Picked up a sample of The Dark Side after reading the community buzz (2016). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Honey with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Honey and Incense feel carefully balanced. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.
