A gently animalic and smooth Oriental Chypre; a dusty, musky (Laotian) Oud forms the core of this fragrance, backed up by the magic of real Ambergris. Starts bright and uplifting, thanks to Elemi and some Mandarin. A dusty, yet smooth earthy-floral combo of Osmanthus and Patchouli will quickly kick in. Ends on a gentle musky-woody base of Cedarwood. This fragrance isn't Oud-forward: Ambergris plays an important role, as to add lightness and smoothness to the Laotian Oud. Perfect during the Mid season, yet more feminine. Very smooth, still classy.
