Cute little cloud of incense
CdG's Series 3 is a series in which each fragrance is intended to symbolise a particular faith. I always find such concepts quite interesting, no matter what it is. I like to see how a fragrance concept on a theme could work, and if the fragrance is really good to wear as a perfume, then so much the better.
Series 3, for example, has some great incense scents, in case you're a fan of these resin-smoky scents. Now with Jaisalmer, it's time for the Hindu faith, although you should always be careful with topics about faith in general, as people nowadays (or actually always have been...) seem to be more sensitive to this topic *sigh* Although in politics in general things don't look so rosy these days...
Hm,... maybe it would be best if we Parfumos (and of course Parfumas :D) would rule the world. We would love each other for sure, and maybe I would finally find out who really loves me here, mu ha ha ha :D
On the other hand, we would probably not get along either. Because I would probably insult you all the time because you don't put milk in your tea, you on the other hand would chase me because I don't like scents with coriander (somehow there seems to be a frighteningly high number of scent lovers who like coriander, brrrr...), or insult you all the time, or otherwise be mean (uuh, you somehow have more reasons against me...!). And then I wouldn't even be able to counter, because then you would point your finger at me and say: "There! That's him! The guy who likes to sniff women's perfumes! Remember him and watch him when he wants to sniff women's fragrances in a store, so that he feels watched and prefers to run away quickly! ... Ey, ... you are really cruel ... tsss ...
A little later woody notes are added, which I think go very well with cinnamon and incense.
Towards the base, but also a little earlier, the sweetish fades away, so that the fragrance then smells more smoky or resinous. I also have the feeling that I smell a slight peppery note.
But the "pepper" does not last long, so that it soon smells more resinous again, but now much weaker. At the very end the scents are so weak that it smells only slightly like a sweet note with a little incense (and then quite close to the body).
I didn't find the shelf life very long, because after five to six hours the scent was already quite weak, so that you only noticed it as a lukewarm breeze or something like that.
The bottle! The bottle looks more like a shiny black deodorant can with a simple inscription as a fragrance name on it, which makes the whole thing look rather unspectacular, I think... well,... there are nicer bottles from CdG.
I also find this fragrance from this series successful. For me personally, it's not necessarily a candidate for purchase, but it's still quite nice. The combination of cinnamon and frankincense comes across well, provided, of course, that you like these scents. It could be that some incense feels a little bit churchy or religious (okay, that's also the sense in this fragrance series), but I think that you can use these fragrances "normally" quite well, but of course more in autumn and winter.
Sometimes the resinous incense even makes you feel as if your airways are being cleared :D
I think you could use the scent both daily and for going out, although when you go out it doesn't really look like a party scent and generally lies a little weak on the chest.
Soo... hmmm... what would the reign of perfume look like? We could try to capture the forum here and see how we would get along with each other! ... However, I'd better be quiet before the "other" Don here gets wind of the matter and banishes me from Parfumo forever and ever, aaargh, no!! :D
Oh yes... and if the Don actually writes to me, I know that someone among you readers has tattled on me!!!! DD

The smell:
Hm, I clearly smell cinnamon and incense. The incense is as usual smoky (or airy) and resinous, the cinnamon on the other hand exudes an interesting mix of sweetish scents and almost clove-like pungency. A little later woody notes are added, which I think go very well with cinnamon and incense.
Towards the base, but also a little earlier, the sweetish fades away, so that the fragrance then smells more smoky or resinous. I also have the feeling that I smell a slight peppery note.
But the "pepper" does not last long, so that it soon smells more resinous again, but now much weaker. At the very end the scents are so weak that it smells only slightly like a sweet note with a little incense (and then quite close to the body).
The Sillage and the durability:
For an incense scent, the sillage is rather moderate, as the intensity is noticeably lower soon after spraying on. Thus, one will not leave a big scent cloud, with which one will probably be able to smell best only from the proximity. I didn't find the shelf life very long, because after five to six hours the scent was already quite weak, so that you only noticed it as a lukewarm breeze or something like that.
