The packaging/presentation is high-quality, but there is definitely room for improvement. The bottle is elegant and solid, and the sprayer is good. So far, the conditions are positive.
The scent itself comes immediately with distinct, sweet caramel notes that - at least in the first few minutes - overshadow everything else. Overall, I agree with other reviews that the fragrance develops rather linearly. There are no massive shifts, but I don't find that too bothersome, as the overall composition of the scent is very harmonious and closely knit.
After a while, vanilla notes, as well as hints of rose and cashmere(?) complement the overall impression.
As already mentioned, the caramel notes remain present even in the drydown. If oud is present (I perceive it less), it is very soft and subtly integrated.
Longevity and sillage are adequate.
Overall, I find "born from fire" a beautiful, pleasant scent that may not have the fine nuances of other fragrances, but is certainly pleasing and elegant.
In this context, I also consider the price, which seems quite fair.
It is certainly not a summer fragrance, but on the upcoming cooler days and evenings, it will surely be a good companion for me.
Those who prefer something a bit sweeter will find themselves well accommodated here.
