Beautiful incense

I went to my trusted perfumery today and was able to smell the whole series of this launch.
but 'Mabda' stands out as a particular gem:

The launch is said to be inspired by the scents of Africa.
And I have to say, I recognize a clear difference to Arabic perfumes. I'm not a fan of the rose, pepper and incense notes in the latter - but with Mabda... wow wow wow.
Completely different, much more velvety, softer.
The incense and spices are not as pungent as when you stand next to an incense stick or at a bazaar. Rather, the smells are muffled like after a rain shower. It's not creamy or powdery, but really... dull.

(maybe the statement is confusing, but if I had to associate a color with the fragrance, it would be moss green)

The composition is amazing, all the fragrance notes flow into each other, it's really hard to pick out anything specific.
I think I can particularly recognize ylang-ylang, incense and musk. But nothing of the raspberry. In addition, no top, heart or base notes emerge for me. The fragrance lasts exactly as I sprayed it on. And for a long time. 5h with one (!) small spray (because tested in the store) the sillage was also bombastic for the small amount.

The fragrance is really unisex, I wouldn't even say that it smells "rather masculine" or "rather feminine".

I don't find it suitable for hot summer days.
