EP, these are dream fragrances - even the third in the test series is simply wonderful. Where was your nose when you said you were missing spices?? Well, there aren't exactly many spices in it, but the scent is still spicy! But one thing at a time: first of all, a thousand thanks for these wonderful samples.
The opening is delightful, everything is there as described. Bergamot, tobacco, and tea, and a little something sweet, like honey or something similar. This lasts for about 15 minutes and I enjoy it to the fullest.
Then comes patchouli, which clearly blocks the oud from accessing the perfume. The heart is the - in this case pleasant - type of patchouli, very soft and sweet, but the smoky-rough note is also present. You have to like it, and I do! Because a hint of vanilla slowly comes through.
The base is wonderfully soft and cozy, less sweet, but very balsamic and simply beautiful.
The sillage is not too big, the scent stays relatively close to me, but is pleasantly noticeable. The longevity is phenomenal and suits this great fragrance. Orientalissime is for me an oriental as it should be! Strong, warm, spicy, sweetish, balsamic, and soft.
Number three also makes it onto my watchlist. EP, you’re not making it easy for me…
I really love the scent too. Unfortunately, it doesn't last very long on me, only about 4-5 hours. But that patchouli note is just fantastic and exactly to my taste.
It doesn't last long enough for me, but I only tested it briefly. That was a mistake, especially after reading your comment. Trophy for you and a second chance for Orientalissime!
