Helpful Review
A marvelous blended mix of spices.
Alright, this fragrance always seems to compel me in such a way, that I keep smelling it. It might be old from the 90s, and you can kind of smell that too. But this fragrance is wonderful. Let me try to explain why.
When first applying it, you smell a short fresh rush of citruses accompanied with cinnamon and coriander. I do not really smell lavender myself. This quickly transforms into a spicy, slightly animalic sillage. After a while you can definitely smell the gum-resin myrrh, together with rosewood, the spices and I guess a bit of the sage. Because it does have an incense kind of vibe.
When finally arriving to the dry-down after a couple of hours max, you can smell a comforting mix of vanilla, amber, musk and some typical sandalwood/vetiver. But I find it hard to distinguish these.
All in all, this scent has a special place for me. It once was gifted to me by a very special person and I do get a compliment every now and then when wearing this. To me, it's unique and comforting. I must say, that you can easily dislike this fragrance, because it does have a kind of barbershop-ish/old-man vibe to it. But don't be discouraged, it's a good mature-smelling scent.
Lastly, I want to emphasize that everyone's nose is different and that this review is of course an interpretation of mine. Always sniff it yourself and then decide!
Have a nice day.
