It’s an intoxicating mix that doesn’t shy away from opulence, making it one of the standout entries in the rich, boozy fragrance category.

Projection and longevity
Drunk Lovers performs exceptionally well in both projection and longevity. It radiates strongly for the first hour, projecting well beyond arm’s length before settling into a long-lasting, intimate sillage. Expect 6+ hours of wear on the skin, making it a powerhouse for evenings or special occasions.
Who is it for?
This fragrance is perfect for those who love boozy, rich, and sensual scents with a contemporary twist. While it leans slightly more intense and indulgent, it remains wearable and refined. It’s ideal for nighttime wear, special events, or anyone looking to turn heads with an air of confidence and sophistication. If you love bold yet balanced boozy fragrances, this one is a must-try.
Final Thoughts
Drunk Lovers is a decadent and well-executed take on the boozy-gourmand genre. The cognac and berry opening is beautifully blended, and the warm amber-vanilla dry-down adds a touch of seduction without becoming overwhelming. While it may not be groundbreaking, it rivals some of the best in this fragrance profile, making it a solid choice for lovers of rich, indulgent scents.
