Earthy and slightly spicy patchouli with a chocolatey kick in the drydown that finishes with some mossy accords. The oud is pretty reserved.

Patchouli stands out, along with oak moss and some balsamic & sweet notes. Very masculine, serious, classic, and vintage-inspired fragrance.

Very dark, strong, earthy Patchouli w/ a little bit dirty, animalic side in it. Simple like others. For cold weather, can be suffocating.

Earthy patch with slighty oud. Not for me

When materials come into focus!
Magic, mystery, stitched into the tangible. Smoke, ash, allure. Aura of elegance. Masterful!

Cristóbal's branch is now between Xerjoff and Tom Ford. Maybe one day I'll understand it....*

Oud without shock. More like M7 with more of everything. Damp patchouli earth, slight animalic notes & moss for elegance. It's something (even for a non-Oud fan).

Unbearable. Intolerable. I have to wash it off. It feels like I have cow dung or manure on my hands.
Oud Assafi tm - please leave me alone.

Damp jungle, light animalic in the air. Everything full of moss, patchouli… Wild beast. Sun is shining, oud is smoking.
