A nuclear bomb of sweet and smoked wood
If you look at his notes, there are notes like: Candy, licorice, sugar, vanilla etc ... that can make us believe that we are now a gourmand perfume of current style and we may think that it is a sweet, rich and appetizing fragrance, as it can not be further from reality, because it is a perfume of wood and incense, intense, powerful and with the expansive wave of an authentic time bomb. Although that does not mean it is not rich or appetizing, because for me it is, but not in the style of what your notes could reflect, but rather in a Gothic style, dark and dense, that you can almost chew.
The beginning is an explosion of woods, rough and synthetic a bit, but the moment the fragrance settles, in a few minutes, it becomes so natural, that I close my eyes and see the following image: a dark night of thunderclouds next to a clearing, in a leafy forest, a gathering of friends around a fire, and an incipient rain that drowns the flames. That's how it smells to me, a real smoking fire, extinguished with water, for me, so natural, that my mother came to ask me, if I had made a bonfire, that my clothes smelled of smoke. Then the oud begins to emerge strongly along with the sweet notes, but not to make the fragrance very sweet, no, rather it is, to give it a hint of sweetness and make the woods and the oud appear like a cream, smoked and spicy, similar to a bitter and toasted caramel. This part of the perfume I love, it is opulent and dense, you can almost see it in the air. The final drying I love, it maintains a fragrance like toasted caramel, which becomes warm, vibrant and musky, with a touch of vanilla and amber very subtle.
Although in my description it seems that I could recommend the perfume to anyone, it is not, I would not recommend this perfume to anyone without knowing their tastes in advance, it is a complicated perfume, intense and with a lot of personality, only for people who enjoy the wood, the incense and the intense perfumes.
The duration is superlative, with an incredible wake, I was smelling it for more than 12 hours. I applied it to me at around 7:00 p.m. and when I got up at about 7:00 a.m. in the morning, I could still smell it without difficulty, then I took a shower and could not check how far I was able to go, but I must say that, If I got my nose right on my wrist, there were still traces after the shower. It is one of those few perfumes, that, every time, you are able to smell yourself, a marvel.
Perfume for cold climates and for the night, although if I am sincere, when I like a perfume, I wear it when I want, be it summer, autumn, winter, day or night hehehehe I am so weird.
Sorry for my bad english.

Excelent review demistifying the overly sweet scent opinion people has by looking at the notes. Congrats fellow Darkbeat.
