Unharmonious for me
I think this "Monk | Art of Scent Swiss Perfumes" is (still) not at peace with himself regarding his decision to live in the monastery. I experience this scent as unharmonious.
The opening with synthetic notes, turpentine, and rubber initially puts me off. Then, quite quickly, slightly burnt oud comes around the corner. It seems to me that someone is grumbling to himself and now and then, figuratively speaking, a little cloud of smoke rises from his nostrils.
After a while, a cream with floral and slightly fruity-sweet (carrot seed) accompaniment follows, which comes across as friendly and pleasant, putting a smile on my monk's face. Now he seems reconciled with his existence. Is it a delicious dessert from the monastery kitchen or is it the beautifully fragrant garden?
I can't reconcile these two scent versions and therefore perceive it as unharmonious.
I can't detect vetiver; it might be lost in the opening.
