sweet, powdery, resinous

Opens with a medicinal lavender and sharply spiced geranium that gets toned down by a smooth cardamom and a powdery patchouli. There’s a dusty resinous quality to the scent that offsets the sharpness from the opening. The dry down is where it really shines with a softly sweet vanilla and powdery sandalwood and tonka combo. There’s remnants of that herbal tone coming from the geranium and patchouli, as well as a resinous warmth.

A "don't need to have" scent

"Instambul" was one of the three candidates from the house of Gallivant (the other two were "Brooklyn" and "Amsterdam") whom I thought about (I had rehearsals from all of them) if I don't want them in my collection. In the end, none of the fragrances did. Apart from the other objections, they all have a pronounced weak durability and a very weak, body-near Sillage.

Now to the "Insambul" - for me it is a dry-dusty, somewhat resinous-amberous spice bomb á la "Lillipur" by Tiziana Terenzi (but it has a great shelf life and sillage!). and... Unfortunately, this fragrance develops over time a very unpleasant, bitter-stinky note on my skin that I cannot bear. Therefore he was rejected by me as a purchase candidate finally and for all times

P.S. "Lillipur" is not one of my Libelings either, because I also find some unpleasant echoes in it, but I find "Cardinal Rouge" by Herve Gambs very pleasant, which reminds me of "Lillipur" strongly, but nevertheless fills me much more pleasantly .
