This fragrance hits like a “brick” house

Right off the bat the most unique of the bunch. Out of all the “new” bottles this one is the most challenging. Definitely for the true collector. The moment you spray this it grabs you and doesn’t let go, I get a HUGE does of black pepper in the opening, and it stays throughout the entire composition. There’s a faint sweetness here, like a dark cherry or plum. Neither of which are listed as a note, but trust me it’s there. After about five minutes it dries down to a wet, almost pungent tobacco accord. My dad use to chew tobacco and spit in a cup, this smells like the inside of that cup. The “hay” starts to peek around the corner after about 10 mins, rearing its ugly head. (I do not like hay accords). If you have the patience, about an hour in the jasmine comes in to play in all its indolic glory. Yes this is the animalic, scratchy jasmine. He’s not dressed to impress, he’s been outside messing with hay bails in the hot sun. There’s something here that reminds me of "Al-Khatt | XerJoff" . Definitely no where near as animalic , but like distant cousins. If you can survive the first 10 mins of this fragrance you will be treated to one of the sexiest, muskiest masculine scents I’ve smelled in a awhile. Give it time and it will reward you.

Mountain Tea with Balsamic Notes

Sometimes you encounter a fragrance completely by chance, without expectation, without intention, and that’s what makes the discovery so special. This was the case with this perfume. I sprayed it on quite unceremoniously while passing by, actually without much hope. But what happened next really surprised me.

Even the first breath catapulted me back to my childhood:
To the mountains of my homeland, where wild mountain tea grows. This unique aroma of sun-dried herbs, warm hay, and that slightly sweet, balsamic note that you never forget. It’s the scent that arises when mountain tea is steeped in hot water and the air fills with an almost sacred calm. A calm that you feel before you comprehend it.

Officially, we’re talking about hay, patchouli, black pepper, tobacco, cedar, and jasmine, but there’s so much more behind it. Between the lines, you smell something wild, honest, earthy. Something that cannot be artificially composed. It’s as if someone captured the soul of this mountain tea and poured it into a bottle.

And here lies the greatest contradiction: The bottle itself: modern, almost interchangeable, too present, does not fit at all with what’s inside. Even the name is completely misleading. I would never have expected such a profound, emotional scent from this brand. If someone had told me this was a limited release from a small, avant-garde niche house, I would have believed it immediately.

I have tested everything; from drugstore classics to the most expensive artisan creations, but such an experience, such an honest surprise, happens rarely. This fragrance has a soul. And every time I wear it, I feel for a moment like I’m back there - up on the mountain, where the wind smells of hay, tea, and freedom.

PS: The drydown brings a surprising fresh note that gives the entire fragrance a very mass-friendly DNA.
