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.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review and it was helpful.

A lot of sweet clove!
At first, I wasn't sure if this was really a gourmand. The opening was very herbal-aromatic in the first half hour, with a hint of chewy toffee, 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 note, it reminds me of fragrances from Penhaligon’s. These caramel-spicy notes can quickly make me feel nauseous, but surprisingly, I liked it.
Definitely a fall/winter scent. In hot and humid weather, it would be too cloying for me.
If it weren't so expensive, I would wear it more often.

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

Resembles Black Phantom from Kilian, but 10 times stronger and more complex. If you like Black Phantom, you will love this.

100% oriental. After the short-lived peachy pop in the open, the scent is dominated by a cinnamon-clove 1-2. Approaching nuclear.

Syrupy labdanum pancakes, with a dusting of cinnamon. Spicy oriental which exceeded my expectations, however no peach to be detected

The pyramid makes sense. Maple syrup creates a coffee impression, canned peach with clove and cinnamon on a resinous sweetness.

Peachy-herbaceous labdanum with a splash of Rrrrrummmm, is lovage at play here? Very soft, yet distinctly unique and individual.

I can't stand it. Peach and then paired with labdanum. It just smells burnt to me. Better later, but nooo.

Full-bodied tobacco scent with not too sweet bourbon maple syrup notes, a hint of rum, and delicate peach fruitiness. Quality.

I wore it to an autumn wedding and it smelled like an indulgently expensive pumpkin spice dessert with the classics cloves & sandalwood.

Familiar DNA with rum-soaked clove. H|S top. I like it a lot but not at that price.
