Our verdict on Alibi: Statement

A divisive one, this. Some reckon it's a generic, fleeting mess, while others adore its unique, comforting sweetness. Don't go in expecting a gourmand, but if you're after a budget-friendly, casual scent, Alibi might just surprise you.

About

It kicks off with a zingy mandarin and a subtle hint of ginger, quickly dissolving into a powdery, rain-kissed orchid heart. As it settles, a sweet praline, musky warmth, and a touch of amberwood emerge, creating a soft, slightly milky dry down that some find comforting and others, well, just a bit 'meh'.
