No needlewood, but leather

This fragrance has no trace of any conifers and surprises with a properly heavy and sweet presentation.

It opens with nutmeg, accompanied by a somewhat pungent citrus, which fades after a few moments. And from this moment onwards, I mainly perceive leather, which remains present in varying accompaniment until the end. The lavender wants to be there, makes a brief appearance, but is drowned out by strong saffron and leather and quickly fades again. Therefore, this fragrance never turns green for me. The pepper is also only faintly perceptible in the heart note. The heart note is what bothers me the most about this fragrance: I personally find the saffron/leather combination in the heart note too overwhelming.
In the base, the leather is still the dominant note for me, accompanied by sweet sandalwood.

The cone-shaped bottle has something iconic about it, but the cheap plastic lid falls off at the slightest touch. The atomizer, on the other hand, is good.
The projection is well perceptible at arm's length, the sillage is also well perceptible in the top and heart notes but not overwhelming.

All in all, for me it is a heavy, sweet fragrance that I would most likely wear on a winter evening or on cold days. The fragrance is definitely unisex for me.

At the price of a mere 10, it's even worth a blind buy if you're looking for a heavy fragrance for cold days and like leather.

Unfortunately, the heart note doesn't suit me at all, which is why the fragrance will move on.
