This one…I am on the fence about. I get a very balsamic fragrance…and…yes…vintage vibe for sure…but the wrong kind of vintage vibe…???…
It seems that many of the notes are being smothered by the balsamic nature of this composition…I gave it 3 trys so far, and with the same results…not my cup of tea…sadly. The bottle IS cool….however…….

If this had bigger silage, just a little more power, I think Police Dark could be a new favorite of mine. This one has an almost vintage feel, It’s a little sweet, a little powdery, a little smoky, a little woodsy. The black current really stands out for me at first spray making this one a little fruity too. It’s a wonderful concoction. I will keep my fingers crossed for longevity and update later.
Update: after 5 hours this one is pretty faint and the silage turns skin close pretty quickly after the initial first sprays. I think touch ups through out the day are a good idea when wearing this one.

This is the most sweetest vanilin based fragrance what I can tolerate. The sweet mandarin – vanilin beginning is turning off some minuit later and the woodsy and floral note began to work. In this time the sweetness disapear and the fragnance not change anymore. The sillage is soft, longevity is moderate.
Talán ez a legédesebb vaníliás illat amit még el tudok viselni magamon. Az édes citrusos vaníliás kezdet pár perc múlva elmúlik és előretörnek a virágok és a fás jegyek. Az illat már nem változik tovább. Bőrömön kb 4 órát, ruhán kb. hat órán át lehet érezni. Hatótávolsága rövid kb 30 cm , majd bőr közelivé válik.

Fans of classics/vintages who like Police Dark should immediately try Molinard Habanita. Whoa.

all the notes listed here are my favourites
and i bought this one without hesitation
but when i smelled this
why !!!
all i can smell is like burning wood
a scent of decayed leaves and other dirts
all i can smell is a bitter and burning scent
but my mom said this was sweet and cute and powdery
maybe my chemistry just didn’t fit this one
and the bottle doesn’t look as good as the pictures

I just had to laugh out loud! I bought this blind based on the reviews here. Firstly let me say that I love Police Dark, it is absolutely beautiful! Here’s the kicker with the dry down… On me this is Rochas Tocade! I mean it is exactly not reminiscent but exactly the same. I have and wear Tocade so I doubt I will keep Police Dark for that reason. Nevertheless it’s a beautiful fragrance. Highly recommend. Sillage and longevity are moderate.

Oh this is gorgeous! It’s nothing like I expected it to be after reading the reviews. It’s beautiful and the dry down reminds me of a fragrance I wore in 1985 but I can’t remember what it was. It instantly took me back to the Summer of 85 and I was 17 and carefree, I love this for that reason, it makes me feel happy and it’s beautiful x

The Police Dark arrested me! This perfume has detained me, locked me up and put me in a holding cell! The frag is mysterious, sexy, and mature. It opens with crushed violet leaves, a sexy, boozy mandarin, a luscious black current and a devious bit of bergamot. In just moments after the initial dry down jasmine, rose and a bit of heady gardenia magically appear and play with my senses. Alas at this point the boozy mandarin pulls an escape act, vanishing like a smooth criminal. As she begins to slowly fade a bit more, a dark vanilla and wafts of sandalwood emerge. Police Dark is not for the faint of heart as she comes on like a taser, and leaves a bit of a permanent record. She gives off an edgy vibe at times that has me “thinking” Aqua Net hair spay, but a classy, classy, light lacquer version, LOL, if that is possible. This for me was not a bad thing… as it is ever so coy.
A bit unusual and unlike anything else I own, this juice is unique in her overall composition. Think of her as a enticingly sexy, feminine, and very sweet little criminal with a badge!

Oh my God it’s beautiful!!! Really gorgeous! And the bottle is fabulous too – very classy and elegant. Glamorous!!!
The perfume its totally totally gorgeous. Beautiful, sweet, warm, dark, very dark, like dark caramel (just as others say), powdery, silky-soft, delicious!!!!
Very ultra-feminine, but strong and assertive and confident; sensual and ravishing. I adore it, and am addicted to it. It’s divine!!! I get sooo many compliments!!! Men love it!!! I love it!!! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Holy sh*t, this is wonderful!
Woodsy, powdery vanilla, sweet, spicy/smoky a bit, a bit of soapy floral. This is what I wanted Ange du Demon to be! It’s warm yet dry, soft yet thick. I agree it’s totally intoxicating and cozy yet sensual.
If this was EDP potent, you’d swear it’s Dior or Givenchy!
But alas, it’s an EDT and I find the potency and longevity to be average. Sillage seems pretty weak? Which is a bummer because I really do love this. It’s elegant in a sweet way, a beautiful scent for a winter formal affair. Not that I want to limit or define it’s use. I’m wearing it to bed tonight because it just came in the mail. 😉
I’m all about the gourmands, and this is not quite… but it’s along the same feel of Shalimar, Hypnotic Poison, xoxo Heartbeat… vanilla with oomph. An interesting perfume for sure!
This was a blind buy, but it popped up on my radar awhile back… was somewhat hard to find cheap in the U.S. I finally got for $25 from Scented Monkey.
I have a few Police scents, and they don’t really impress me. I have To Be Queen, Passion, and To be Woman. I’m dying to find Forbidden in the U.S.
This impresses me. 🙂
Ugh, if only it were stronger on me. Overall, I do highly recommend!
Today, a proper wear to work, mostly sprayed on clothing.
I love this. Truly absolutely love this. It’s unique to me. I’m still crushed it’s not more potent, but damn… I’m going to need more of this fantastic sweet woody vanilla juice!
Now that I’ve worn this a bit…. the potency/sillage is better than average! If you use enough, it will last all day. YUM!

I love it when I find an amazing perfume with a reasonable price,police dark is one of those little treasures
If you’re into warm,sweet powdery vanilla scents don’t miss it
I have an old half used tester of this which it’s juice is brownish(I think it’s color changes after some time)but it still smells great
My old tester opens with a burst of alcohol but thanks god alcohol fades in seconds and I’m left with a pleasant sweet,warm scent,so well blended that it’s really difficult to pickup notes separately..I can’t get any citrus notes,but there is a dominant boozy blackcurrent note,which is not sharp as it mostly tends to be,first time I tried it it reminded me of hugo boss deep red and cacharel Amoramor without their citrus notes but now I find it much different it’s not a linear scent, after some time it’s boozy fruity top notes take a back seat and floral notes show up .I can’t put my finger on specific floral notes here except iris,but I know they’re there adding a soft powdery floral quality to the scent.iris is waxy here smelling like old cosmetics,it’s not what I expect from a cheapie as it’s feminine in a grown up, sensual way and pleasant while being unique.
a caramelized vanilla starts to come closer in drydown but it’s not a gourmand since there’s enough of dry,slightly smokey woody notes and some vintage makeup florals to give it a mature,not too sweet vibe.what is most dominant on me in drydown is a warm,soft powdered resinous vanilla with a grapey/plummy undertone with slightest hint of flowers and woods to keep it intresting and not just about vanilla.well drydown IS mostly about vanilla but a dark,mature and sensous vanilla with some powdery,balsamic,vintage,resinous facets
Police dark is definitely a fall/winter scent..in heat it’s sweet so make sure to try it in cold temp,is not childish atall,it’s a grownup delicious oriental floral,not heavy,intresting, wearable and versatile and is definitely sexy
Longevity is very good(+6 hours) but sillage is not that heavy(still more than moderate)but it may be because of my aged juice,when I tried it from a new tester bottle in a perfume shop it lasted longer and projected better.I’m gonna buy a new bottle as soon as this finishes and write my second review on basis of a new one
❤❤❤❤

The packaging looks like the evil big sister of Prada Candy. I am anosmic to the scent of Prada Candy however, so I can’t say anything about the supposed likeness in terms of smell. The blackcurrant really stands out to my nose, and blackcurrant happens to be a note I usually struggle with (the exception being its fantastic use in Hugo Boss Deep Red). Frankly, in this composition, it’s a dealbreaker. It’s a shame because otherwise it is this scrumptious resinous vanilla with powdery floral accents… I will be passing this one on to someone who appreciates it more.
aleksejj-bondarenko – :
its a dark velvety vanilla and iris and yummmy soooo delicious at the same time…
very balanced for some people like me that a bit fussy about sweetness…
gourmand like a chocolate and caramel and after that just want drink a cup of coffee in wintery days

This is amazing, it’s a shame it’s not more well known! I love powdery vanillas and this doesn’t disappoint at all.
It’s so soft and heavenly, and would be perfect for spraying after a bath. It has the slight sweetness of the vanilla, but the sandalwood and cedar stop it from being cloying. The beginning has a nice sharpness to it with the bergamot and orange, but that soon dries down almost immediately to the gorgeous powdery, woody heaven.
This is not your average vanilla scent, it smells so much more expensive than it actually is, and is very well put together. Fast becoming one of my favourites!
Sillage is great on me, not at all overpowering, but i catch gorgeous wafts of it for hours. Longevity is amazing for a cheaper edt, four hours and still going VERY strong, i can’t fault it! If you’re looking for a cheap, long lasting, beautiful crowd pleaser, this is definitely it!!
Edit; could still smell it on me the next morning, 12+ hours later! Amazing!!

I think intoxicating and seductive are the perfect words for this scent, it opens with sweet dusky vanilla, becomes darker with hints of chocolate/caramel smoke. Then in the drydown the darkness fades and vanilla mellows, so you’re just left with a softly sweet velvety vanilla, the hints of smoky violet save it from being generic.

I tried this on before my shower in case I didn’t like it. I do like it, but I wouldn’t buy it myself. It’s not ‘dark’ in my opinion. It’s rather sweet and nice. I can’t really distinguish any particular notes in this, so I guess that means that it’s well-blended. 🙂
Sanya9935 – :
Disappointed, as I can’t smell vanilla or iris. The rose on the other hand is too strong for my taste. It reminds me of Miss Dupont by ST Dupont.
UtteneVione – :
I want to like this but I just simply cannot. This one turns very sweet with almost a caramel note. Slightly synthetic, and just way too medicinal sweet!
iraiajo – :
This is amazing !!
It is unique, i love the powdery vanilla keep in mind it does not smell like baby powder. I’m not very good at explaining but it’s smells soooooo good. I don’t think anybody could dislike it.
Long lasting and heavy sillage. Not overbearing very sexy, silky, creamy scent.
For a cheap perfume i am surprised at how complex it is. I got the 100ml for £14.
Best blind buy ever 🙂

Assolutamente identico a Vanilla blossom Monotheme….

Yesterday I bought this cute little EDT. I’ve been told by a woman which works at the perfume store that Police EDTs are stronger than regular EDTs and I believed it. Now I must say that this fragrance is not that strong as I thought it would be… I really really like it’s sweet, smoky scent, for its price the fragrance is quite nice. If it only lasted a bit longer on my skin…
NityBiort51 – :
I just bought this one. I’m shocked about these notes here, lemon and orange???!!!! no way
it is very sweet and warm included some bitter dark scent to it.something like dark caramel. it is not fruity at all. it is very similar to Prada candy .

I’m obsessed with this.
