Total lane switch

Seeing what the 1°C, 33°F does to the harsh almost metal spice Luban opening, for a half an hour straight up overwhelming iron. Not affected by the cold, everything else is, get the mid process sped up a bit, bringing out the nutty woods first, warm pepper and then slowly, but like an hour in almost: uncommon floral accord, then vanilla, roses and musk last. Starts super-niche, weighty somberness dark, then noticeable as it happens rather fast total lane switch to plenty joyful and sophisticated.

Perfect Winter Fragrance.

I tried the fragrance and immediately liked it. The scent stayed with me the whole evening/night. I really enjoyed the fruity notes and the rich development into a soft and balanced oud fragrance. The next day, i went and bought it with an 80% discount. Deal of the day! I understand the mixed reviews but i think this is the good thing about parfums. There is something for everyone.

The Sweet Flame of the Desert

As the sun began to transform the sky into gold and purple. The bazaar slowly exhaled; merchants rolled up their carpets, and a fine smoke of incense wafted from the alleys, warm and balsamic, as ancient as the desert itself. I paused to inhale this moment, and right then, the world of Luban opened up to me.

At first, there was something unexpected: a sweet strawberry, so clear and juicy, as if someone had placed a bowl of fresh fruit under the incense tree. It felt almost playful, a brief flash of light amidst the golden twilight. But hardly had I grasped it when cardamom and pink pepper joined in, a spicy tingle that reminded me that this place knew stories older than any fruit.

The path led me deeper into the market. Between the rolls of carpets and the heavy brocade curtains, a new melody suddenly emerged: the roses. Bulgarian, Turkish, creamy like gardenias, they floated through the air like voices in a choir. I imagined they once bloomed in palace gardens, amidst water basins and marble columns. With the roses, the scent transformed, becoming more elegant, almost majestic as if it were wearing a crown.

Then came the darkness. Not threatening, but like a soft cloth draped over the shoulders. Sandalwood, oud, vanilla created a warmth that glowed from within. I sat at the edge of a small alley, watching the last rays of sunlight disappear, and there it was: the sacred smoke of incense, fine, clear, and yet mysterious. It did not hover like a heavy shadow but like a silent prayer rising to the heavens.

It was as if Luban built a bridge between two worlds: the familiar sweetness that speaks to the heart and childhood, and the spiritual depth that lifts us beyond ourselves. In this balance lay its magic. I felt it on my skin hours later, soft as suede, soothing like a warm hand grasped in the dark.

When night had fallen, I was already on my way again, but the scent remained. It accompanied me like a memory that refuses to fade: of markets full of colors, of the smoke that stood like a prayer above the rooftops, and of the feeling of having been part of an ancient, sacred story for a moment.

Little intoxicating strawberry smoke for the initiated?

The unattainable "Incense" by Widian surprises with a honey-sweet strawberry opening, accompanied by a resinous-peppery breeze.
There is a gently emerging rosy freshness, which is increasingly overshadowed by the heavy woody-musky base with each passing minute.
After half an hour, it is almost only creamy warm vanilla and a hint of leather. After that, for many hours, a seductive, noble, and sublime sweetness; with only a faint trace of anything else.
A very intimate, sacred, but quickly collapsing in the base
scent in aesthetically perfected packaging featuring a golden engraving of a nocturnal mountain landscape with two white deer. Decent, rich, and mysterious, yet also very restrained, subdued, and lacking in dynamism.

Opening smells like overripe strawberry, oud, and blue cheese with a hint of leather. Widian swung for the fences - and missed. 3.5/10.

Cosmetic strawberry lip gloss with a rose accord, hence kitschy-sweet
Earthy accord of gardenia & oud
As a counterpoint
Lots of tonka powder
Widian creaminess
