Not clearly gourmand nor oriental but a unique approach, sweet and resinous

One of the rare from Clive Christian which has full bottle worthy uniqueness and the pleasant scent and I don't talk about the price, I don't think about the price when considering if something is full bottle worthy.

Opening is very strong but intoxicating and it gets the positive attention immediately. It's mostly smoky and spicy with a little bit of subtle sweetness but it's not fruity. Just to mention since I love Peach so much and it's not present here as a Peach. The feeling is like sitting next to the fireplace. The smoke dissipates in 15 minutes and the scent evolves into the smooth blend of spices, not so boozy rum and a sweet, resinous, woody aroma from Labdanum. It's not leathery her at all. This is not a strong scent at all, it's only in the opening. The scent is not actually oriental at all but if thinking the definition of gourmand, it's not exactly that either so the name "gourmande oriental" is fine, it's some kind of mix of those styles made in a unique way.

The scent is totally unisex, very wearable and versatile and it's office safe as well as long as you don't spray it at the office. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is good.

This review is based on a sample.

Lots of sweet carnation!

I wasn't sure at first if this was really a gourmand. The opening was very herbaceous and aromatic for the first half hour, with a hint of chewy toffee underneath, as if there was some ethyl maltol in the mix. Another 20 minutes later, the opening had faded and I smelled salty toffee.
With cloves and sandalwood in the top notes, it is reminiscent of fragrances from Penhaligon's. These caramel-spicy notes can quickly make me nauseous, but surprisingly I liked it.
Definitely a fall/winter scent. I would find it sultry in hot, humid weather.
If it wasn't so expensive, I would wear it more often.

Unisex

Peach jam with cloves, thick syrup, a hint of fire, rum and a light touch of barbershop. Coffee? There might be an espresso cup on the wooden table somewhere in this room. In the summer months it sounded fruity, in the cold season buzzy, warming. Unisex for me, despite the fact that e for men is probably intended for men.
