Still Life with Cello?
To get straight to the point: This is not the 127th rose-oud-plus X mixture, but something a bit different. Not exciting, but really not boring.*
The beginning is pleasant and unusual with herbal thyme and spicy saffron, beautifully without the moldy tone and the medicinal note. In the background, a touch of marzipan-like tonka bean and a hint of woods and incense, somewhat synthetic, but not disturbing or piercing.
The individual notes flow into one another, and a soft incense pushes to the forefront: what remains when the smoke has cleared or the idea of incense when one smells the unlit resins. It is the scent of heated soldering rosin (which probably no one here knows anymore) rather than that of bow rosin while playing. Thus, the fragrance lasts quite a while: bright almost-boswellia with a light thyme spiciness, subtly powdery-sweet. In the end, a delicate wood scent remains, with no trace of heavy oud.
The yellow of the saffron and the resin beads fits the name “Wood and Gold,” but in terms of rating, the fragrance does not reach gold, and just barely silver: the beginning is a bit too loud, the end too quiet, the middle is harmonious. A pleasing light perfume for both men and women, for all occasions, for autumn and winter.
* Morabito also has an oriental rose scent in their lineup, it is “Black Agent.”
