Wasted Moment

Wasted Moment is a rich, boozy apple fragrance with a prominent sweet-caramel core and deep woody foundation of cedar, oak, and labdanum. It opens with a tart, crisp green apple note that carries a hard cider and slightly tangy effervescence—often described as reminiscent of an apple brandy or overripe fruit balanced with smoke and vanilla. The scent evolves into a smooth, softly boozy accord with a dimension of incense-like resinous depth and sweet vanillic warmth, grounding the sweetness. It feels accessible and cozy, ideal for cooler weather, and carries a comfortable, intimate sillage that feels radiant but not overwhelming. On many skin chemistries, the apple note lingers prominently, while some find it leans toward a 'sawdust' or 'wood-shaving' character. It shows strong similarity to Kilian’s Apple Brandy, though with a slightly more casual and approachable vibe—less refined, less spicy, and more linear. Performance is moderate, with longevity averaging around six to ten hours on most people, though it fades before the end of a day's wear. The fragrance appeals to lovers of sweet, boozy, and woody scents and fits well in casual, date, or festive settings. Its affordability and bold wearability make it a standout among indie fragrances.
