Time-Traveling Monk into Modernity?

How beautiful you are is proven to me by your dark, yet simultaneously very fresh green accords. What you present to me is shown by no one else, and I find you so fascinating that I would love to have you around me every second of the day.

About the scent:
As the title suggests, this fragrance creation immediately makes me think of a very wise monk who has traveled through time and found his way into the modern era.
The portal opened in an old church ruin on the earthy ground of a sunlit forest clearing, taken over by the green of various plants, and among all the plants, the mint has secured the most space on the ruins. The man is calm, composed, and eloquent. He enthusiastically tells me that he knows this church from his time and had performed many services here.
This perfume starts with strong incense, paired with mint and slightly earthy patchouli, which makes it smoky dark but simultaneously allows it to shine fresh.
After about 5-10 minutes, it becomes a bit spicier, thanks to the cardamom and pink pepper.
Then I notice how it becomes softer and softer. Sweeter. However, it does not lose the aforementioned developments and they remain beautifully rounded and perceptible.

About the longevity:
As surely as the monk speaks of his passion, the scent clings to skin and clothing.
I can still perceive it clearly in my own nose after 12 hours, not to mention my clothing... guaranteed until the next wash.

About the sillage:
It radiates well! Not brutally overpowering, but still substantial and not intrusive.
It’s quite noticeable when passing by, but not overwhelming. It also diminishes over time and after 7-8 hours becomes more intimate, but lasts forever.

Conclusion: A wonderful scent experience that I haven't had before. Fresh, earthy, smoky, dark, and warm are the words that, in my opinion, perfectly describe this fragrance.
In the height of summer, it might be too potent, but perfect for spring, autumn, and especially on rainy days. It was a great pleasure for me to test it and to give you insights and ideas about what it can do and how it can do it.
Enjoy testing it.
