Prin gem with an amazing journey
I've found another Prin gem with Saringkarn. It'd be easy to brush it off as just another rose/oud but that's not the case. It's quite enjoyable (except the opening) to experience it as changes occur throughout its life. The opening for me was a bit too sweet and floral. The sweetness was the first to reduce, putting it more in line with my likes. It then turned into a not very pleasant floral/plastic-y scent. That aspect also went away and the generic floral scent reduced into a mild, creamy rose as the oud appeared. Oud was dominant here with the rose more subdued. Also, the oud never had a stinky barnyard smell; only the nice oud/woody scent. The creaminess of the rose also seemed to have a little more, but I'm not exactly sure what. It might have been the chocolate. The weird thing is after about 3 hours (I think; didn't time it exactly) the chocolate became more prominent and very obvious, even to the point of overpowering the rose. The chocolate then started to reduce in strength but it was still an obvious part of the rose at this point, however oud always remained dominant. Finally, as the overall fragrance started to weaken after some hours, the scent became again a somewhat generic floral scent to me with the oud evolving more into a smooth, generic woody fragrance.
Sorry about the long winded description. It's just that Saringkarn made an impression on me with this journey. Performance was very good, lasting a good 12 hours. Next morning before showering, the fragrance was reactivated during morning cardio. Projection quite good for about 2 to 3 hours.
TL;DR - a Prin winner for sure.
