Altesse Mysore Alexandre.J 2017

With the name of this fragrance "Collector - Altesse Mysore," it is claimed that we are dealing with a sandalwood scent. However, neither sandal nor Mysore is mentioned in the pyramid.
Nevertheless, I always want to know everything precisely, as there is a fragrance ingredient in the name that I generally stumble over in perfumes because I am not quite sure what it is supposed to be: Mysore sandal. In this case, it is also a "proud" sandal.
Now one expects, and I too, a creamy sandalwood scent.
What a mistake. And not only regarding the expectation. Also concerning my knowledge about the possible scent of Mysore sandal, that is, the West Indian sandal.
What I thought of Mysore sandal is this fine creamy sandal of not so fine quality. You only get this scent if it is real or synthetically well-replicated East Indian sandal.
So "Altesse Mysore" does not make it easy.
I immediately smell a very peppery, quite sour, peach-powdery scent. I like "Altesse Mysore" right away, very much so. The pepper is so sharp at the beginning that I have to sneeze.
This peach-powdery mix always appeals to me in fragrances. At first, I thought of labdanum, but the additional lemony-citrus note is very aromatic yet not a bit honey-sweet, rather almost harsh.
For a long time, "Altesse Mysore" remains in this peculiar mix; the first thing that comes to mind is "Velvet Aoud" by Montale, but certainly in "Altesse Mysore" without a trace of oud. I also like this note in "Velvet Aoud," which I cannot really describe in the previous attempt.
Only later does the sour note in "Altesse Mysore" intensify, but then the scent calms down with a light vanilla note and presumably musk. I only perceive ambroxan slightly in the first phase and then not again.
However, "Altesse Mysore" always remains in this peach-powdery sour mix. I cannot describe it any other way.
Now, listed in the pyramid is elemiharz. What a coincidence that I just read shortly before in the pyramid of another fragrance that elemiharz is separated from some amyris varieties. Also, that amyris smells like citrus.
Amyris, as called up on Wikipedia, explains that amyris is a balsam tree from the Rutaceae family, which also includes citrus fruits.
Further in Wiki: In contrast to the East Indian white sandal, amyris contains the substances elemol, eudesmol, agarofuran. Well, wonderful. I, of course, have no idea what that could be.
So I researched further on Google. Elemol is the substance that apparently smells citrus-like in elemiharz. Yes, I smell that in "Altesse Mysore."
But now eudesmol and agarofuran. I only find Spanish and English explanations; these are certain terpenes that have been extracted from amyris, among others. Eudesmol is also called sesquiterpene. Aha. And agarofuran is said to smell like cedarwood.
What a coincidence, cedarwood is listed here, but I do not smell it.
And I also think that I have now occupied myself enough with the chemistry of Mysore and thus with that of the perfume "Altesse Mysore."
So this is how the "proud" Mysore sandal smells. And one can now assume that with the listing of elemiharz, cedar, amberwood, benzoin, and the sour plum, the name "Altesse Mysore" is quite cryptically meant.
Rose, jasmine, and patchouli I cannot smell out; I suspect they contribute to the allure of "Altesse Mysore." Conclusion: All fragrances that have this certain, for me, quite peculiar and superbly fruity-sour-tickling as well as slightly sharp and yet powdery note of Mysore amyris appeal to me.
