Relaxed in a Bedouin tent
I don't usually go into the subject of compliments too much in my reviews. Everyone can think what they like about it - for some it is the real reason to buy and wear fragrances, others don't give a damn about the opinion of their fellow human beings and for others I have the feeling that it is pure wishful thinking, which you can't find out exactly anyway.

I wouldn't necessarily classify Black Collection III or Arabia III as a compliment monster, but it is significant what positive reactions it evokes. The fragrance does not have an oriental, sensual aura, but behaves like a relaxed Bedouin tea ceremony with its gentle mint.

The guests sit on old, wooden furniture with stretched leather seats. In the dimmed tent, narrow beams of light break through the slightly dusty air with small particles of sandalwood and patchouli, which emanate from incense and mix with green notes and a hint of vanilla. This is roughly how this creation appears to me, but in an unobtrusive way.

Black Collection III is neither a brute firecracker nor a classic tea fragrance, but it is a smart statement with an excellently balanced Arabian character. In my opinion, not everyone needs to wear it, but it's still a shame that it's so under the radar.

Musty and green
I really wanted to try this fragrance as it is supposed to have some similarity to Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera. Aoud Lemon Mint is one of my favorites for the summer evening, unfortunately, this is now no longer too easy to get. Whether this one is a replacement for this, I will tell you now.
For a light freshness in the opening provides the bergamot, which is accompanied by the mint. However, the mint does not contribute to a fresh note, no in this case it gives the fragrance a green note from the beginning. The woody notes don't take long to arrive either. The bergamot is no longer perceptible after a very short time and is replaced by leathery note.
Unfortunately, I did not like the top note of the fragrance at all, in the course of time he said to me more and more but he could not blow me away, unfortunately, a large share had here also the moss. This in connection with the wood gives the fragrance a musty note, which I do not like at all.
With the Aoud Lemon Mint I recognize unfortunately no great similarity, so my search for a worthy successor will probably have to go further :D

Fresh and somewhat powdery-sweet at the same time: minty citric freshness meets slightly sweet vanilla and woody notes.
