I was also thinking about buying a bottle of this. I do know that cybercucina doesn't ship to California. Not sure about an other exclusions.

I have heard that Dolcelisir has a prominent musk note. True? That's the only thing keeping me back from blind buying this fragrance, since musky scents is a no-no for me.

Received this one two days ago. Nice! It may just be me, but Dolcelisir smells a lot like Pure Havane (had to actually spray both on each arm to check). Has a boozy smoky vibe going on. Spices are there and this one has great longevity (10 hours on my skin).Unisex without a doubt.You can't go wrong with this one IMO.

I'm waiting on my bottle of Dolcelisir to arrive. L'Erbolario has really gotten my attention, since I've order some soaps from them last year. I was looking for a nice patchouli soap, and I've found it with L'Erbolario. I also have Ambraliquida, Muschio and Myrrhae: all of which are great. Sometimes, the cheap stuff ends up being the real gems in a fragrance collection. L'Erbolario is really nice for the money.

Thanks for sharing your thought!
Do you think it smells anything like the drydown of Musc Ravageur? Ambre Narguile?

Unfortunately, I never smelled Musc Ravageur or Ambre. I understand Meharees is the one that smells like Musc Ravageur's drydown. I have that one also, but again I can't compare cause I never smelled MR. Overall, Meharees and Dolcelisir are very good frags. The price won't hurt your wallet either.

I have a bottle on the way. And I received a sample of Ambre Narguile from Hermes a week ago (might purchase it in the near future unless Dolcelisir is really close to it) but I'll be happy to post my impressions of it as well.

Just received my bottle. Initial spray was a little sharp, but that might be due to this being the first time I sprayed it. It's very similar to Ambre Narguile but I think Ambre Narguile is deeper, denser, more refined, and heavier whereas Dolcelisir is lighter and probably more versatile. They are close though, at least when it comes to the opening. About 5-10 minutes in and I can begin to see similarities to Pure Havane, there's what seems like a cherry note mixing in with the Ambre Narguile apple pie. To some extent it even reminds me of Tonka Imperiale. For the price, I think it's a great fragrance. But I'll still probably get Ambre Narguile
