A Hot Stunner from the Orient
About a year ago, I received a 5ml sample of this special oil from a dear Parfumo friend. At that time, I had very little knowledge of orientals, but I wanted to venture into this still unknown species.
First of all, it should be said that the fragrance itself has an incredible sillage and longevity. This is due to the pure perfume oil. Highly concentrated and super economical, I am still making use of my 5ml. Admittedly, I don’t wear it very often. This is because it quickly becomes too much for me, and I need a break from it for a few weeks. But when I do choose to wear it, I feel like a young oriental feast for the senses. I also prefer not to handle the oil too much, as you really have to be careful with clothing and should rather apply it only to the skin. I’d rather stand in the spray mist of my chosen fragrance than drip oil onto my skin. But that’s just a matter of taste.
The rose, jasmine, and aldehydes are immediately recognizable and form the main character of this fragrance. They feel quite heavy yet not outdated as one might assume from reading. I can also detect something smoky and oud-like, but I’m not sure where these notes might come from. Later, a very gentle ylang-ylang and a soft, quiet amber join in the background, giving the fragrance more depth and smoothness. Fortunately, I can hardly perceive patchouli and cedarwood, which pleases me since I’m not a fan of those two scents. In the base, it becomes even deeper, closer to the body, and softer, but remains a real powerhouse until the end. Personally, it is mostly too heavy for me, even though it is rather a fresher and younger oriental; somehow, they all tend to go in the same direction. And for that, you have to be prepared and in the mood ;)
The fragrance itself is very well made but is really only recommended for oriental fans, as it comes with quite a punch and doesn’t leave your side quickly. On clothing, it lasts for days, while on the skin, it has a relaxed 12 hours.
I also know the bottle in its original form and find it quite cute! The balls do look a bit cheap, but as a decoration, it does quite well, and I would definitely display it at home.
