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 is exactly what makes the discovery so special. It was the same with this perfume. I sprayed it on quite unspectacularly as I walked past, actually without much hope. But what happened next really surprised me.

The very 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 is this fragrance that emerges when the mountain tea is infused in hot water and the air fills with an almost sacred calm. A calm that you feel before you realize it.

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

And this is precisely where the biggest contradiction lies: the bottle itself: modern, almost arbitrary, too present, doesn't match what's inside at all. The name is also completely misleading. I would never have expected such a profound, emotional fragrance from this brand. If someone had told me that this was a limited release from a small, avant-garde niche house, I would have believed it immediately.

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

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