Not my kind of tobacco
Derviche opens with a somewhat sweet, floral (Jasmine) scent that was a bit much for me. As it dries down, the tobacco becomes more prominent along with the vanilla. The tobacco scent here is smooth and rounded, not dry or sharp. As time passes, a creamy sandalwood/leather type of scent comes to the foreground with the tobacco moving more to the back - not completely disappearing - but more of a subtle hint or supportive role. The civet added an great animalic touch, not overpowering. Longevity was pretty good for me - about 8 hours, with projection being more moderate.

I'd rate Derviche as unisex. Even with the civet, it's too tame and middle of the road for me to consider. Note that Derviche and Derviche II are completely different fragrances.

Derviche. Rogue.
My first review from this fascinating house out of the U.S., composed by owner Manuel Cross. It is clear that most of this line is inspired early 20th century perfumery, but from what I have smelled so far, they very much have a place in a modern wardrobe.

Unique
Everytime I wear this I'm always taken back by the animalic/indolic Jasmin opening. I always wonder what I was thinking! Then 10-15 minutes later, I remember. This is bliss. The most beautiful slightly animalic musk with Jasmin. Truly, it's devine. And the longevity from an EDT is nearly unheard of. If you haven't tried this, your nose wants you to.

Cherry shisha
Opens with the scent of fresh, moist, sticky cherry flavored shisha tobacco then transforms into said tobacco being smoked in a shisha parlor. Feels warm and stuffy but cozy at the same time. The leathery saffron note mixes nicely with the fruity smoke. Very nostalgic to my years at uni, not necessarily something I would wear as a perfume, but if it's your thing I can definitely see it work as one.

Dance, Derviche, Dance!
Derviche shines deep golden in the bottle. Like sweet, tempting honey. And exactly this picture transfers and unfolds to/on my skin. The bergamot melts into the amber and the animal notes shimmer lustfully behind the curtains. Anyone who knows honey animalics knows what I'm talking about.

This subtle sweetness that is so incredibly sensual.

Light leather and tobacco swing together with saffron on the second level of the fragrance and claim more and more spaces. However, the fragrance does not break out of its subtle eroticism at any moment, but creates further facets that are very harmonious and fascinating.

Derviche barely misses the mark as an animalic gourmand and yet is much more than his ingredients might suggest. It is sensual and playful - at the same time absolutely unisex and really unique.

Initially animalic spicy-floral, a warm and resinous, gently leathery, oriental spicy-sweet Winter fragrance, on a smooth musky-woody base.

Fizzy tobacco leaf and leather pop from skin. Thick and syrupy. Tobacco-first, vanilla-second frag, but less sweet and more dry than most.

The opening smells like extremely sweet etanol with sour jasmine, strong, off-putting. After toned-down, it becomes a quite good musky scent

One of my favorite perfumes by Manuel Cross. I mainly sense saffron, tobacco, and spices. It’s oriental

Sweet syrupy floral amber tobacco, reminiscent of Xerjoff 400

Resinous vanilla tobacco, pleasantly spiced with saffron,
in a small, fine leather tobacco pouch.
A bit woody and very subtly smoky.

The little kitten smokes
unnoticed around the corner,
while the dervish
nibbles on creamy jasmine honey parfait
with a sprinkle of saffron.
Delightfully sweet.
