I refuse to believe otherwise. It's only usable as a layering component as it stands, since it's essentialy like adding oud and woody, masculine muskiness somewhere to whatever you put on top. Bummer, though, because no way am I willing to pay "retail" (100$+ at least) to retry.
Did it come as only a bottle or was it in a box sealed with plastic? I did a quick look and it seems to be unavailable in the US although parfumo says it's still in production.
I have it in full presentation. As a reminder - I purchased a 15/50ml bottle from a private collector
Also, the juice reminds me of Antaeus if it was much less aromatic-fougere and was absolutely slathered with fermented oud.
But yeah the top notes are probably destroyed…
