Belly Dance in the Desert by Candlelight in a Silk Tent
This fragrance is something very special. Something extraordinarily beautiful. Mystical and mysterious. And something completely different.
I was unaware of the effect of elem resin. It feels so foreign. Not in a negative sense. One has the feeling of just getting to know a new world, a new culture. Very mystical. A belly dance in the desert by candlelight in a silk tent.
The orange and the orange blossom do not make the fragrance fruity-fresh, but they give it a special touch. It harmonizes excellently with the elem resin.
After a few hours, the elem resin gradually settles, and the fragrance transitions into its creamy base of amber, vanilla, and musk. Unfortunately, I find this not as magical as the opening three hours. But it’s still beautiful.
The first three hours are worth the fragrance for me. It is so special. A nuance of oriental scents that has been missing in my experience and my collection so far.
The sillage is solid and still has room for improvement. I will make a detailed assessment of this once I have had the opportunity to test the fragrance not just on my forearm.
Addendum from 16.08.20:
I had the chance to properly test the fragrance on my neck. And lo and behold: Yes, the longevity is indeed brutal to infinity.
So, a new candidate for purchase for me. Cheers!

It's so beautiful, too bad it has a slight metallic note.

That must be the saffron? In baccarat rouge its super metallic but in this one not much. Maybe depends on the skin?

@Maggi88 As I said - I could only test the scent on my upper arm. I still have a sample of it, so I'll try it on my wrist tomorrow and maybe I'll be convinced after all. :D
