An oriental entry-level fragrance
Many thanks to my best friend Agron for the Serendipity for Men bottle :-) This is a really well-made fragrance that you can let "beginners" test who are still quite inexperienced with oriental fragrances. The longevity is solid at around 6 hours and the sillage is in the medium range so far.

The top note starts off quite powdery and green with spicy hints of cardamom. Almond milk provides creamy notes. The heart note has a subtly smoky scent of frankincense, myrrh and opoponax. The base offers woody and balsamic nuances of sandalwood. Fir resin and a Christmassy, cinnamon and sweet aroma also resonate here.

My best friend said he likes it as an "everyday fragrance". I think he's quite right, because it's quite easy to digest and not as heavy as the fragrance notes suggest.

Very helpful Review 7  
Autumn soul warmer with chypre finish.
After Rituals in the years 2013-2018 partly several fragrances, both for women and men, partly also explicitly unisex has brought out - they have held back this year very much. Since the Roi D'Orient is one of my absolute fall & winter favorites - I was very excited about the new creation from the feel-good house.

To test I got me without him in the store to try out a 15 ml travel bottle.
At home then 1 spray each left & right to the neck & the same for the wrists.

Prelude:
Subtle very fine spice that reminds me of the skin of almonds - I know from Christmas baking for "Mandelinchen" (marzipan almond pastries) - it can be easily pulled off by gently heating the unpeeled almonds in plenty of water & then cooling. However, it is a very measured almost soft spiciness that does not overwhelm but seems very pleasant & rounded. After a good 5-6 min then joins a little cardamom but decidedly subtle, almost floating.

Course:
The fine spiciness of the prelude remains together with the cardamom hints, although the latter now moves into the background - but for me it remains perceptible until shortly before the finish.
Oakmoss adds a greenish earthy note & to be honest I doubt that in the pyramid all the substances used here are enumerated - because it does not remain with oakmoss, in my nose comes in the heart note still cashmeran & also unharziger amber - the cashmeran is wonderfully rounded & very fluffy. The ambery somehow reminds me of melting rock candy sugar...

Finish:
Chypre accord - well that can be somehow quite a lot... since there are countless substances with which you can create a "real" Chypre fragrance - here wirds towards the end again greener, a little like cooled ginger lemon tea, classic herb freshness woodiness. But the really only after just under 5 h comes through but then remains for 2h before Serendipity then becomes fully skin.

Conclusion:
So far, the 2nd Best fragrance of Rituals (1. Roi D'Orient 2. Serendipity 3. Oudh) - Projected especially in the first 2-3 h very neat (on 1.5 m well to be heard) & remains even then to the 6th hour after spraying always dignified perceptible. And that with only 4 sprays. On clothes he holds loosely several days...
All in all, a very successful composition whose purpose is clearly in the current season & which has a calming & balancing effect on me - bottle is kept functional / simple & for the total offered you can call the price only very cheap - smells more like a 150 € + X - fragrance and not after 42.50 € for 60 ml.

Chapeau! Very successful. Currently in fog, drizzle & autumn wind a favorite of mine!
