Complex Kemi
I've really only had a few fragrances in my life that have undergone such a transformation.
But first things first.
The fragrance starts off woody and sweet, with what I perceive as a milky note.
After around 10 minutes, an earthy note is added that reminds me of fresh, warm potting soil..... By no means musty!!!
Personally, I only notice the citrus top notes mentioned here after around 40 minutes.
However, they are not really fresh like the Nio or Renaissance... They are more reminiscent of the top note of GOLDEN MOKKA by Xerjoff.
The slightly earthy note is still subtly perceptible in the background even after hours.
The fact is, after 40 minutes at the latest, the fragrance really smells completely different than shortly after spraying it on.
As it progresses, a very deep spiciness is added, but at the same time the fragrance also has a very bright, clear radiance... Perhaps this comes from the amber/musk combination in the base note.
The fragrance also has phases where it reminds me a little of Xerjoff's Astaral.
On the whole, you can say that the fragrance is woody / spicy / citrus - sweet.... With a suptile fresh - clear aura.
Quite extraordinary..... But certainly not for people who like linear perfumes.
The durability is about 8-10 hours.... On the skin.
On clothing 2 days.
The sillage is quite strong for the first 40 minutes.... But then becomes moderate.... More than a 7 out of 10 is not possible.
Even if my fragrance description may come across differently.... For me it is clearly a spring / summer perfume.
