Love or hate ?!
This will be an objective commentary (as far as possible).
First of all, I think you can only love or hate this fragrance, I am probably one of the very few who are somewhere in the middle and only like it.
Explanation:
As the fragrance is very strong and not for the faint-hearted, it was just too much for me and I couldn't really stand it.
This fragrance is not for the faint-hearted. For people who are used to designers or for people who don't particularly want to stand out and are rather quiet types. As I personally like smoother fragrances and am not particularly "wild" as a person, it wasn't my type of fragrance at first. One person described it quite well as a "mafia" fragrance.
The sweet/leather note here is particularly strong. That makes it "rough and wild". Personally, I get less oud here and more of this rough leather note.
But back to the actual explanation. At first, the fragrance was just too much for me, too rough, too rough. However, after wearing or smelling it several times, you get used to it and it won me over at least a little. So that I can wear it on days when I just feel a bit "wilder". With the nose, it's always a matter of context. If you have only smelled light or more mainstream fragrances, your nose is used to them. If you then suddenly smell strong tones, oud-like, niche fragrances, the nose is suddenly overwhelmed and turned off. This is also a point that you always have to bear in mind. That's why you sometimes have to "taste" some fragrances for longer.
In the meantime, I have warmed to the fragrance and can appreciate it for what it is. However, I don't think that many people in the West will like it and get compliments for it. It's just not suitable for that.
Now to the actual fragrance profile:
This fragrance surprisingly has very strong masculine aspects but also very feminine at the same time. The aforementioned leather note is rough and strong and accompanies it throughout the fragrance with the "raspberry" accord and incense. I would call it something like a rougher, slightly animalic Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum leather on steroids. I think that sums it up pretty well. They are very different scents but you could associate it that way.
