A beautiful, smooth, fuzzy, animalic Chypre. I love this, this is a different take on a Chypre for the true connoisseurs of the genre. To me it’s a linear fragrance, there is some development but not much and that isn’t a bad thing. It’s base heavy and feels like all of the notes are blending into something that’s beastly and beautiful. It’s animalic, floral and woody, all at once. I definitely get the florals in the opening, they smell waxy and slightly spicy, then the animalics soon come into play, and they purr throughout the fragrances life, supporting the florals, and Chypre sensibilities. I detect a subtle urinous presence, it could be the animal notes mixed in with the oud that give this impression. The ylang ylang and tuberose are strong but not overpowering and are grounded by the sandalwood. A lovely fragrance, I’m very happy to have it in my collection. The peacock on the front of the bottle is fitting, this fragrance is exotic, wear it, puff your chest out and stand proud in your glory.
