Dawn Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle 2018

After the night the dawn comes after a promise has been made.
Carlos Benaïm begins the day with a good portion of pepper.
The Turkish rose is not yet awake.
But already generously incense was burned.
Now a medical/leathery oud (allegedly from Laos) comes to the fore.
Furthermore, the Turkish rose keeps shyly in the background and generally never appears big.
The oak moss as well as the vetiver have no concession against the incense and the oud and float very far in the distance.
The Labdanum gives the frankincense again a lot of power and Dawn has a very spiritual character for me.
The fragrance did not have a great development, which I like very much about this masterly creation and which perfectly reflects the name and its meaning.
Those who are fed up with the tons of rose-ud scents will get a calming and surprisingly different oriental The shelf life ranges from dawn to deep night with a very present and flattering Sillage.
Carlos Benaïm has created with this fragrance a spiritual and different Oud which I do not want to miss anymore.
Due to the cool and not balsamic heavy character I feel Dawn is even suitable for all seasons.
After The Night and Promise Dawn adds another masterpiece to the Desert Gems.

Regarding the price I will not comment because everyone can decide for himself if he buys it or not.
As already mentioned below some people pay enormous prices for an ugly-kitschy Roja or Clive Christian....
