Muscat from the English House of Niche Haute Luxury Perfumery Ormonde Jayne is part of the 'La Route De La Soie' collection, it is an Oriental Spicy Amber Smoky Balsamic perfume.
Inspired by the city of Muscat, capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
The perfume already starts by rejecting the usual citrus and floral springboard and instead opting directly for main notes of amber persuasion; sensual and fiery.
It opens warm and spicy with a striking saffron and a juicy sweet date setting the tone, and tempered by cinnamon and cardamom, all well blended. I already liked it right away!
The delicious dessert halwa, an Arabic sweet with sesame permeated by a mist, with the arrival of incense of excellent quality, begin to smoke the ingredients wonderfully and brings me flashes with a slight bitterness of an oriental black tea. A semi-gourmand fragrance.
A smoky woody oud is present but without difficulties that with moss adds more depth, a very discreet rose supporting that removes any possibility of the fragrance becoming just another 'Oud & Rose' combo.
A beautiful and delightful Ambaresco, Spicy, Smoky, Balsamic perfume; flirting with the gourmet without actually becoming; Perfect balance between sweetness, spices, incense and green wood. Excellent Quality and Great Performance!
