Sounds wonderful! I actually like some of the Prins, but the late base and the drydown have kept me from buying so far. They often get a bit dull and unexciting. But yes, the journey to that point is often great.

I agree, although the leftover hippie in me isn't opposed to a bit of incense scent towards the end. ☺️

Based on the notes, I wouldn't necessarily feel the need to test it, but your statement definitely makes me curious about the scent!

They sound wilder than they are, although you should only take a woman who wrote about air mattress deflation air with a grain of salt 😅

As so often, there's a lot in the scent with Prin, and there are always nuances to discover. Everything adds up so well here, making it simply fantastic!

It's hard to unravel... I often feel the same way about Prin, but as long as the result is convincing, that's what matters.

It probably has to do with our scent preferences. It would seem much less complex to me if I were more familiar with the ingredients.

It sounds exotic and unusual, but definitely intriguing - there's probably a lot to discover here that remains hidden from us in the West.

Absolutely. Prin is a lovely brand to dip your big toe outside the box ;)

Air mattress exhalation, how cool. Sounds a bit like talcum with rubber in myrrh Thai, definitely interesting.

I’ve had air mattress air before too - initially with #Honour Man by Amouage.
😅 It’s still exciting.

Exciting journey with many stops, sounds very intriguing! Maybe the silk blossoms would even make the anise appealing to me.

I can smell it, but I rarely see it mentioned here and it's not listed either. So it would be worth a try :)

This is top-notch entertainment with you again. Air mattress release air 😂😂😂
I'm cracking up!
The list of fragrance notes is also very appealing. A prince without cumin could also be to my liking. But it’s definitely strong, right?

It's a prince, really airy, nothing transparent here, but I don't find it overwhelming at all.

I don't think others notice it as distinctly, at least I rarely see it mentioned here. There's something in the notes that gives me a bit of an Anis vibe.

We agree on that - wonderful and hard to unravel. I think "meaty silk blossoms" is just fantastic. It took me to Northern Thailand...

I can't quite untangle this one. But it doesn't really matter because I find it wonderful; it definitely gets a bit murky around the seeing eye. Thai Oud balancing towards myrrh. There's a lot going on in the top notes (including borneol), and I think I also perceive apricot-like ghostly osmanthus alongside turmeric, with a few fleshy flowers (more tuberose than jasmine) joining in, plus a big bundle of herbs (including Wan Sao Long). The air mattress release could just as well belong to myrrh, oud, or tuberose; in any case, it's there and much more attractive than it sounds. The animal notes or indole are quite restrained for me, but there's a bit of leather. The late incense stick finish becomes a bit one-dimensional and is less exciting than the journey to get there, but I would set off on this adventure again anytime.
Thanks to @ElAttarine for this; I've been happily sniffing it for almost a year now! ;)
