This perfume was recommended to me when I was researching scents that evoke desert vibes.
On the initial spray, it opens surprisingly bright, juicy, and slightly sweet, but that sweetness fades quickly, within the first 30–60 seconds. What’s left behind are dry, dusty meat spices: cumin, clove, coriander, pepper. It’s still warm, like the feeling of earth after a scorching day.
For an oriental scent, it’s soft and restrained. It sits close to the skin - dry, leathery woods dusted with spice that whisper rather than scream.
When I smell it, I’m transported to Moroccan markets, but not in the sweltering midday heat. It’s late evening, the stalls are empty, and only the lingering scent of merchandise, spices, and scorched stone remains in the air.
