Unusual fragrance from the early 2000's and nothing like I imagined from the note pyramid...
I got my decant from a friendly fellow fumehead, who is very fond of it. I found a few reviews here and there online, but none of them really described the scent. Personally, I don't get any mandarine, bergamot or patchouli from this. The opening is a blast of myrtle, cardamom and nutmeg - dark, sharp, peppery-eucalyptus-like (probably due to the myrtle) and almost bordering on ammonia. I don't recall having tried other scents where the myrtle is so prominent.
The heart reminds me of the powdery tar and rubber notes from Bvlgari Black with some soapiness due to the violet. The drydown is musky with cardamom and sandalwood, inoffensive and bears a little resemblance to the drydown of Body Kouros, but not as sweet. Projection and longevity are pretty average.
Apart from the opening, which is unfortunately way too sharp for me, it's an okay scent but IMO not at all worth the crazy prices I've seen on the Bay.
