Denser, more intense, sweeter than the “original” with more than a hint of chocolate. Warm, spicy, almost radiating heat. A wonderful scent!

The opening is shyer than in LDDM. Also spicy (but with less cumin) and less sweet. The scent is dry, ambery, more leathery and deep.

Andy Tauer's best creation. A scent that captures your heart. Ambery, woody with a touch of incense. Signature scent for a true gentleman.

Warm sirocco winds blow over the Saharan dunes carrying aromas of incense and resins. A million grains of sand scrub the skin under the sun.

It’s a woody Smokey patchouli scent. I don’t like patchouli but here it doesn’t bother me. It’s so intense, for men and for winter time.

2 me its redundant to have this and lddm. Opening is denser and less dusty on this one but they both smell virtually the same in the dry.

Masterpiece, but handle with care
This is not easy to wear, as it exists and diffuses by itself, with a strong personality.
A work of art that makes you feel good whenever you sniff it, and capable of telling a story.
Projection and sillage are incredible.
Not something I would "wear" everyday, but I like to have a full bottle to come back to it every time I need some comfort, be it at home or on a special occasion.
It makes me think of some great avant-garde music which I definitely enjoy and projects me in another world, but which not necessarily would fit as background music.
A must have, at least in a sample.

And the story continues...
Truly the next chapter in the story of LADDM. However, missing are the arid spices and vastness of the former, which to me are what made it magical. Many will prefer this for its sweeter, denser character that makes it slightly more wearable, albeit more similar to other ambers. I put this along the same lines as HdP’s Ambre 114, though not quite as smooth and sweet. If the spicy opening put you off of LADDM, then ACDD may be for you.

Evocative Masterpiece
A powerful herbal blast in the opening sandwiched between fresh spices on top and dry woody undertones. An ambery sweetness quickly makes its presence known and it stays that way through the drydown, getting slowly more syrupy-balsamic over time but never overpowering the other elements of the fragrance. The image evoked in my mind is a vanilla-flavored wind blowing across the twilight desert, picking up bits of sand as it swirls about, enough to feel but not to cause harm. Can wind be flavored? I don't care.

I sampled it based off sheer hype to reach free shipping while buying other Vanilla samples. Does it live up? Honestly, yeah kinda. I was looking for something more gourmandish, which this is not, but it's a beautiful scent nonetheless. Performance is quite strong as well, I get about 3hr of strong projection and 9-11hr longevity as a noticeable skin scent.

Compared to L'Air du Desert Marocain, it's an unmistakable higher concentration flanker. ACDD is like +10% more ambery, -10% less herbal. It's also a touch more moist, as LDDM doesn't really get "syrupy" in its drydown, and has marginally better performance.

Condensed LADDM
This smells like you sprayed LADDM, then captured the spritz in the air and condensed it. I guess the way I look at it is it's simply what you would expect from a parfum version of just about any fragrance. Less citrus, more base, a richer heart, more sillage, and longer-lasting (I know this is not always the case with parfum concentrations, but that's how it's "supposed to be" in our minds. I also know this is not a parfum, but it smells like it is). This version reminds me of a desert night, not a desert under the scorching hot sun. But the sand is still hot. I absolutely adore this version, just as much as the original. I own both and would give neither up!

Masterpiece
This is an absolute quality fragrance in all. Smell, longevity, sillage, compliments, all is perfect. I love this strong resinous incensed effect with this light balsamic green and these incredible quality of woods, amber and patchouli. You can feel all the ingredients, and you can also see the amount of absolute oils inside, thanks to its deep dark yellow color. I really love all of this. It's the better definitive version of air du desert marocain, taking earth of this and expand it to the infinite. It's more strong, dense, resinous, dark and longeve, and more pricey too. If you like so much the incense and resinous perfumes, you will prefer this.
Name of perfume is perfect. It's misterious, it's a poetry, it's all that a full resin perfume should have.
