Crown of Marmara Alghabra 2019

It is late summer. I'm walking through a magnificent mixed forest. The air is cool and dry, the sun shimmers through the canopy of leaves and needles. After a while, I penetrate deeper into the forest. It becomes denser, greener and ever more magnificent. I stop at a large oak tree, lean against the trunk and look at the leaves swaying in the wind. I smell dry wood, golden resins and the green of the trees. "Crown of Marmara, is that you?

Scent:
Shortly after spraying it on, a slightly sweet citrus comes through. The fragrance quickly turns very green. The citrus and green notes together with the patchouli have an almost ethereal effect on my nose and evoke slight sauna associations. I like that very much! The composition is also accompanied at the beginning by a spiciness that seems peppery to me, even though it is not listed. Subliminally, I can smell a certain warmth, wood and also some vanilla in the background right from the start. The green components gradually recede a little, but never disappear completely. Dry resins and woods become more present. Although caramel is listed, I don't find the fragrance very sweet. Over time, the amber settles slightly smoky on the skin.

When? Where? Who?
For lovers of ethereal, woody fragrances. A beautiful, mood-lifting daily that suits every season. I find it neither too soft for winter nor too sweet for summer. It goes more in a masculine direction, but I would have no problem wearing it myself.

Conclusion:
With its citrus, herbaceous notes including patchouli and the dry wood-amber combination, "Crown of Malmara" is a very cozy fragrance for my nose, which evokes associations of forest and sauna in me. For me, it is a special fragrance DNA and the best masculine-inspired fragrance of the brand.
