Wearing this encapsulates why I love fragrance; it’s art.
The open is initially almost too much, for the first ~10 minutes you are blasted with a leathery guaiac/galbanum assault that is almost oud-ish. There’s just enough nuance and subtle sweetness to keep your interest, but don’t get too complacent just yet (re: complacent meaning “whew, so glad I can pass on this expensive ass scent”)
As the initial blast wears off the bitterness fades and the sweet amber warms up. It settles in to a mildly sweet, faintly resinous relatively “crowd-pleasing” scent. Again, you start to think “oh this is nice, I’m good though I’ve seen all this before”
And then….the fireworks of white florals begin. It’s like a sporadic meteor shower of sweet Jasmine. The scent swirls and changes, it’s a white floral, no it’s an amber, wait it’s got a woody thing going on. This wonderful subtle maelstrom lasts most of the wear and while it never demands your attention, if you have it to give you will be constantly delighted.
It’s beautiful in outrageous heat and humidity and in “normal” inside temperatures. I have not yet had the pleasure of wearing it in the cold, but I’m assuming due to the fluidity of the fragrance it will also be gorgeous in the winter.
