Thanks for the review JaimeB
I've seen a bunch of Lomani frags at quite a few shops around me but I've never tested any of them yet, wonder if Virtual is also among those.
Thread: Mini Review of Lomani Virtual |
Top Notes: Bergamot, Kumquat, Reseda
Middle Notes: Lavender, Patchouli, Peach, Almond Flower
Base Notes: Cedar, Musk, Amber, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean, Vanilla
The notes listed were found, after much research, from an authorized reseller in Brazil. This is spicy and a little sharp at first, then later turns kind of muddy and confused. A clearer accord reemerges toward the final drydown. A little floral in the middle, but something chalky and then slightly acrid intrudes for a bit, and then recedes again. It could just be my skin disagreeing with some combination of notes that overlap for a while. This might be pleasant enough for some, especially younger folks, I would think, but I must say it'll never be near the top of my list.

PVC and Leather. A Chain and a feather
I just picked up some last night on an uncharacteristic (of me) impulse buy. I need to wear it more but on first wearing I get a very linear tobacco and some kind of fruit. If you buy cherry or apple pipe tobacco, this is what it smells like. I am a few hours into it and that is all I smell. I do have a cold so I will have to wear this some more and let you know.
My wife and I like it so I think it is a winner for me.
I had never heard of Lomani (before last night) and even though Virtual seems somewhat hard to find, it is very inexpensive. Is Lomani a poor quality brand? I see other frags in this brand going for $12 for a 3.4oz bottle.

wow sounds nice any updates?
anyone else have or try this??
I've owned this for years. JamieB's description from 2008 is accurate. I'll just add that longevity is a bit above average.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
At current prices, one might consider this "super cheapo," particularly in light of the lone Fragrantica review, which includes:
"this smells like unsmoked fruity shisha used for a hookah!! and that is just deliscious to me...very close to [Bogart Pour Homme]..."
However, BPH is quite floral, leaving the lavender aside, whereas V seems more of a "dark" fruity scent with the same kind of "cherry pipe tobacco" element (probably mostly due to tonka and cedar). Can anyone else chime in here? Thanks.

I own this (as it's cheap in the UK), and my immediate impression was "poor man's Pure Havane". I got moderately sweet cherry pipe tobacco accords (like Pure Havane), but a more diluted version. If you shell out for the Mugler instead, you won't be missing out on anything.
I personally found the performance lacklustre at best, to the point I'll need to junk it. Black Intense was a slightly better effort from Lomani, but overall I don't think I'll be bothering with any more of their fragrances.
