polarizing
I am torn when it comes to evaluating this fragrance. On one hand, one can clearly smell amber, incense, a hint of something slightly animalic, earthy patchouli, musk, and distinctly the previously unknown amber note (honey, tobacco, coffee) with a tobacco nuance coming through individually. When thinking of this, the perfume comes across as very high quality, indeed noble. I cannot detect oud, but the sniff test works, however.
After wearing it for a longer duration, I get the impression of mouthwash due to the strong sillage, with clove and alcohol clearly discernible as individual components.
After hours, it smells distinctly of wood, fresh tobacco, and very slightly cheesy on the skin, which I really like.
I have never experienced such polarization with any fragrance before. The development leans towards an earthy tobacco direction once the alcoholic notes have faded. At first, I wanted to give it a rating of 8.0, but since there is hardly any development, it became a 7.5. In the coming days, I will let the "bomb" explode at the office to see how it performs here.
Addendum after a workday: the 7.5 fits, but something bothers me about the scent: I still smell something alcoholic even after a longer wear.
Here’s a little poem to conclude:
I bring a clove to Elke, the flower in the vase exudes incense into the nose,
in the garden, a rabbit poops. The scoundrel fertilizes the tobacco patch, we watch him and drink mead.
