Tasty rose-oud
Well to me this is Turkish delight all over, with some rose water on the side. Not that it's gourmand, but there's a middle eastern vibe to it that is just tasty.
The opening however is a very strong and medicinal blast of wood. It's a warning sign: this stuff is strong and it's going to last, whether you like it or not! As soon as the perfume is properly settled on skin it reveals what it's all about. Rose and oud, hints of saffron. A classic combination, no groundbreaking innovations but that really doesn't matter. It's mouthwatering jammy without going sweet. Into the drydown, it just gets better and better. The rose fades a bit and the leather comes through. Well into day 2, still going strong.
The bottle itself is stylish with a good sprayer, but it comes in a leather-look mini bag of mediocre quality.
