The Quentin Bisch experiment.
Quentin Bisch, although not listed here, is the perfumer behind "Art Collection - Sidra Wood | Al-Jazeera / الجزيرة". It seems to me that Bisch was specifically instructed to combine elements from successful fragrances into "Art Collection - Sidra Wood | Al-Jazeera / الجزيرة" and add an oriental twist. It could be understood as an attempt to create a hypebeast Frankenstein fragrance.
The first déjà vu is experienced in the opening of "Art Collection - Sidra Wood | Al-Jazeera / الجزيرة", here the fragrance is virtually congruent with Bisch's own work B683 Eau de Parfum. So congruent that the two fragrances can hardly be distinguished in the first few minutes.
In the heart notes, the spicy ambroxan leather from B683 Eau de Parfum is complemented by a slightly sweetened rose oud. This blend actually works well together, the rose oud forming a dark base while spices and the ambroxan leather swirl around weightlessly. So far, so good.
But then, probably due to high ambroxan content and some sweetness, "Art Collection - Sidra Wood | Al-Jazeera / الجزيرة" actually has similarities to Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum in the emission. Whether this is intentional or not, let's see.
"Art Collection - Sidra Wood | Al-Jazeera / الجزيرة" is actually not unexciting, but at the same time feels very uninspired.
A fragrance like déjà vu, so or so it can be described.
For my part, I would rather support Marc-Antoine Barrois with his original B683 Eau de Parfum. Here the flacon is also high-quality & beautiful, the Al Jazeera flacon is really horrible for my personal feeling.
