A musky citrus start with a light, moist saltiness of sandalwood (which quickly fades) and dusty, not sweet pine needles. Spices are added almost instantly, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves clearly audible. For a moment, there is a hint of rose, but this mirage quickly disappears, and if anything remains of the rose, it is a very light powderiness, which, combined with moss, gives an interesting dustiness.
There is little sweetness here, so I consider the perfume to be brutal. I imagine a big Viking with white skins and furs on his shoulders, walking through the city and simply humiliating passers-by with his gaze and testosterone scent.
At the same time, it is a fairly elegant fragrance that would be suitable for theater evenings or antique exhibitions, but strictly for men.
There is a very beautiful musk here, it tickles the nostrils, but it is not too diffuse to feel like you have opened a jar of nail polish. The musk here has the smell of animal wool, spicy, beautiful, restrained. Returning to the sweetness, there are tonka beans here, but I don't feel their sweetness, most likely because there is a very small dose of them here. For me, the sweetness here comes from citrus fruits.
There is also a slightly smoky oud, and the amber seems to be the same as in War and Peace, only there is 5-10 times less of it here. Something here gives off the scent of a church or church candles, which, combined with the pine, sounds simply incredible.
Pine needles, musk, spices, oud, and moss are noticeable throughout. A wonderful fragrance for going out for a walk or for events.
