The game of association

What do you read about this scent. Desert air, sand dune, spice market in Morocco. I'm honest, I don't have a haze like a desert smell, because I've never been there and because I can't imagine how it should smell.

BUT L'Air du Desert Marocaine really smells like something that I instinctively associate with spices and sand and I have no idea why. And don't get me wrong, it really is the absolute madness! Quasi a masterpiece!
The fragrance is fart dry immediately after spraying on. There is no other way to describe it. If dryness would smell like something, then the top note would be exactly like it. What is already resonating here is clearly the cistus. It is actually present from the beginning to the end and gives this spice or "pungency". What I also notice very badly here is the petitgrain with the caraway, which possibly in combination creates this dryness and additionally gives an earthy and strawy effect. So short - spicy, citric and the opposite of fresh.

In the course of time it changes only marginally in my eyes. The citric remains, the dry disappears and the amber comes through and how. Probably after Grand Soir the best Amber I have ever sniffed. In short - the finish is still citric, but much smoother and less dry.

S/H are day-dependent with me, whereby I also become smell-blind quickly. My environment noticed it partly also still after 9 hours and before Corona there were also times in public a comment on it. In my eyes you can wear the scent every day of the year, no matter if it is summer or winter. In summer it is not too heavy, in winter it is heavy enough.

Another tip from me: Lay with Grand Soir in winter and Cedrat Boise in summer, for this you get the maximum out of the amber in winter and for the summer you produce the dry citrus bomb with atomic durability (+16h at my place)

To sum up: A must-have in the collection for every fragrance lover and an all-rounder for the whole year. And compared to the more expensive Extrait in my opinion a little smoother and better made
