Chéngmén by January Scent Project

Oh boy!
Oh boy!
Oh boy!

This is phenomenal stuff right here. Absolutely love love and nothing else. I am glad I got this, was eyeing for one since @johngreenink spoke about it but it was worth the wait. A very talented guy who is very humble too and I appreciate that about him

The fragrance starts with a delicious fruity accord, mouth watering stuff (with prominent Oud in the back) but focus on fruits first. I sprayed for the first time, front of the neck, back of the neck, front of my shirt and usually I stop right there but with Chéngmén I couldn't stop (I was under the spell) and boom 4th spray on right side of my neck and 5th spray on left side of my neck and 6th in my mouth and I just stopped that spray and realized it's not a dessert dude. So I am glad I stopped at 5 and didn't do the 6th spray

Why not? Coz the Oud in the back is becoming loud with each sprays and it was hard for me to handle her like that. I would say, 3-4 sprays of this fragrance is MORE than enough.

It would be a sort after one soon as it's been discontinued and I have a feeling that it would reach the stature of Attaupe, my absolute favorite from the house and a tobacco lavender fragrance in general.

After about 20 minutes or so, I start getting the aroma of Champaca flower, which is of euphoric quality, keep you craving for more. It has a very intoxicating and intense floral aroma which is sweet and mouth watering.

An hour or so later the aroma is taken over by some medicinal attributes of the fragrance such as olive, pepper, costus but the magical of them all is the Oud sourced from Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia which got some vanilla and hay like nuances.

This fragrance could easily be 500 plus by many other brands but JSP, keeps it to very basic $250 to what it got and overall structure of the fragrance. It's just the beginning of 2024 and I wore it for the first time and I would like to believe that this right here is the best creation of the year for me. I doubt anything else would come close to this.

The performance is insanely good with easy 12 hours which offers exceptional projection.

I am totally in LOVE
