Classy Incense
Wow! Was really impressed with Derviche II. Opens with a sweet, fruity scent that quickly gives way to very nice smoky incense. The incense here is reserved and balanced, with the lingering fruit, vanilla and musk rounding it out. Didn't get much of a herb-y note. I can't stress enough that it's very balanced and not in your face. Earlier this year, I tested Zaharoff's Signature Extreme which I liked and was planning on buying a FB. After testing Derviche II, I will go with it instead of Signature Extreme. Derviche II is just a much better quality incense fragrance. Longevity was very good - at 10 hours it was still a pretty strong skin scent. Projection was great for the first few hours. A definite winner by Manuel Cross.

Note that Derviche and Derviche II are completely different fragrances, not alike in any way.

One of these things is not like the other
I am a huge fan of Rogue Perfumery. They make some of the best scents I ever laid my nose on. There is an undeniable "vintage-retro" DNA baked into a lot of their scents and it is wonderful. However, this scent smells like it doesn't belong in Rogue's impressive catalog of scents.

Somehow, the fruitiness on the top notes remind me of Boss The Scent, which isn't a bad thing, just not an expected thing from Rogue. The heart notes shows something that is a little more on the woody side with some amber. This dries down to a sandalwood and vanilla scent with some muskiness. Really? A Rogue scent with the word "vanilla" as a note seems.... wrong.

So, as a scent all by itself without any association to the brand it perfectly fine and has a definite sort of mass appeal safe designer scent you may smell walking through the perfume aisle of a department store.

As a scent considering it comes from Rogue, it's a pretty big disappointment for me. Searching hard within this scent for anything resembling what I love about Rogue, I've decided it's not here. I would never think if I blind smelled this scent that it would be from Rogue.

Doesn't fit the aesthetic.
Every perfume house has a brand identity. It encompasses everything from the common bases to the texture of the perfume in your nose to the aesthetic of the bottles, imagery in the advertisement and brand reputation. Consumers latch onto this brand identity and expect things that fit it.
Rogue Parfum markets itself as smelling like pre-reformulation old school perfumery, and smelling different than the offerings on the mainstream market.
This smells like a very modern DNA. Nothing wrong with it but it doesn't have the Rogue difference that their house promotes. If I wanted this type of scent I'd go somewhere else.

Jasmin Antique and Rostracto have been delightfully vintage inspired and different.

Is "II" Better Than One?...
Derviche II opens with light floral citrus enhanced pineapple fruit, and just a hint of amber before transitioning to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart, it morphs to a woody focus, as likely faux Oud takes the fore with woody incense, warm saffron spice infused pipe tobacco and soft semi-sweet amber support. During the late dry-down, the faux oud vacates as the composition turns to a familiar mildly sweet vanilla and soft woody accord with the faint pipe tobacco remnants adding support through the finish. Projection is good to very good, and longevity excellent at over 12 hours on skin.

At first, I really didn't get the tie-in name, calling the composition Derviche II, because this follow-up perfume for a good part of the development smells quite different than the first Derviche effort. Derviche II, by contrast, is much more of a fruity-woody, with slightly synthetic smelling pineapple infusing synthetic smelling Oud that permeates the open and key middle section. Initially I didn't even notice the prominent tobacco found in the original, but it is there beneath the Oud if you look close enough. It is only when you get to the late dry-down that the tie-in with the first Derviche becomes all too apparent, as the perfumes smell almost identical at this point, and it probably is the best part of the two's development. I think it is safe to say that if you own Derviche, you can own Derviche II without major overlap, but the real question is "Should you?". I will leave that answer up to each individual wearer to decide, but I think one Derviche is enough for this writer. The bottom line is the $156 per 75ml bottle Derviche II is a major departure from the original for about the first six hours, but while competent, the "good" to "very good" follow-up effort feels different but unnecessary, yielding a neutral recommendation except to collection completionists.

Nothing like original. Sparkling, warm spiced fruits with a sweet amber base. Like a fruity Xerjoff Starlight or non-aquatic Rasasi Hawas.

Smells like those hard European candies in tins, but without being sugary. Beautifully deep and a compliment getter

Initially juicy and spicy citric-fruity, this warm and creamy, oriental spicy-fruity sweet fragrance, settles to a smooth musky-woody base.

Oddly mainstream for a brand focused on classic perfumery. Smells like it could be a YSL or Dior release today. Not the best from the house.
