Warm Spicy Resinous Incense
Another Terres Dorées fragrance that is so true to its name! My husband is South Asian, and immediately when he smelled this fragrance, he said "this smells like home". It's a gorgeous incense-y spice bomb and feels nostalgic to me too because it reminds me of the general atmosphere of those incense boutiques from my childhood that we called "hippie shops" here in Finland. When I was a child, I found those shops very intriguing and mythical, and I would describe Richesse du Népal with those same adjectives too. The opening is full of hot chili and nose tickling pepper with a smoky nag champa kind of vibe and soft cinnamon in the background. During the drydown it becomes cozier and more resinous, I can definitely smell a meditative mix of benzoin, opoponax, patchouli and vanilla which sticks on the skin for hours. My nose doesn't pick any of the heart note flowers, probably just a little bit rose in the background, but other than that this is purely resinous-spicy perfume on me. The fragrance is very long-lasting but not too strong - sometimes I personally find the perfumes of this genre to be too overwhelming to wear casually, but with Richesse du Népal I don't have that problem. It's definitely noticeable but not overpowering. I think that people who love for example Opium (1977) Eau de Parfum, but would like to have something a little bit easier to wear and wouldn't like to fill a whole room with their fragrance, would most likely fall in love with Richesse du Népal.
