Yellow of Thebes
but for the second time (see comment on Rosso di Ciprio) not the yellow of the egg.

First, I will quote the explanation published by ALzD regarding this fragrance:
A meditation potion for those who lack determination, even though they know what to do. Saffron, star anise, aromatic woods, and ambered resins. A meditative atmosphere that has inspired the soul and imagination since the beginning of time.
Recipe
Three ounces of amber, one pound of saffron, a tear of patchouli, two eighths of cedarwood, two eighths of cardamom and star anise, a handful of bay leaves, some nutmeg, a drop of dragon courage, and a pinch of audacity.
Ritual
Spray Giallo di Tebe into the air and onto the wrists and repeat for thirty-three consecutive days: “The time that really counts in life can be reduced to a few minutes - to the times when decisions were made.”
Source: ALzD

The reality presents itself to me as follows:
A pleasant spicy scent.
Starts with nutmeg and bitter bay leaves, followed by saffron and cardamom, which smell as fresh, clear, and transparent as I have never experienced before, surely due to the underlying star anise. Well done! The base note consists of amber with coniferous-resinous cedarwood; I cannot detect patchouli.

A fragrance that sometimes evokes thoughts of the Silk/Spice Route for me. Because the spices are clearly recognizable here and not muddled like in many oriental fragrances where everything is a tangled, olfactorily impenetrable matter. Here you get what is stated in the pyramid, and plenty of it.
From the advertising message that aims to conjure a meditative scent, I can see nothing. But perhaps some meditate in the kitchen drawer with the spices.
And the theme of decisiveness is also not really approached clearly and decisively: We are not even informed which Thebes (Egypt or Greece) is meant.

Strange, fresh-spicy, woody-resinous, and green scent that can clear your bronchial passages, but gets annoying quickly. At least it's unique!
