Simone Andreoli Criminal Lipstick (Tester)

Description

Simone Andreoli "Criminal Lipstick" isn't makeup — it's a fragrance built to smell like the boldness of a red lipstick. A cold, sharp iris opens the composition before softening into a powdery cloud of jasmine and musk, backed by real oud, vanilla, cedarwood, and black amber. Reviewers describe it as evoking the glamour of an elegant woman in an old black-and-white film — distinctly cosmetic, in the best way.

Scent Character

• Sweet — 35%
• Floral — 30%
• Woody — 25%
• Oud — 10%

Translation: a sweet, powdery floral anchored by real agarwood and dark woods — the oud here is genuine (drawn from the fragrance's base notes), giving it more depth than a typical fruity-floral.
