And The World Is Yours
by A Lab on Fire
And The World Is Yours by A Lab on Fire is a bold, opulent orange blossom fragrance with a gourmand heart of vanilla, tonka, and heliotrope, matched with a subtle yet distinctive cumin note that adds depth and intrigue. The opening is intense and heady, with a rich, sweet floral burst that can feel overwhelming—some users describe it as resembling a star-shaped candy or a freshly cleaned public bathroom due to its synthetic grape-syrup quality. This intensity diminishes over time, revealing a warm, cream-colored base where orange blossom, honeyed vanilla, and soft balsamic notes blend into something supple and long-lasting. The fragrance projects strongly with moderate to strong sillage, lingers for hours even after a shower, and clings to fabric. It performs best in cooler weather and works well as a feminine nighttime scent, though some find the initial olfactory assault too much to handle. Despite its divisive opening, many who persist through the early phase report an emotional transformation—connecting with the fragrance's lush, exotic beauty and its evocation of a sun-drenched, opulent garden. The scent offers a transformational experience akin to wearing a dream rather than a perfume.
