Well balanced incense with creamy and sweet base
I’m trying out the Danhera collection kit featuring 4 fragrances.
Among the four, Pavus is the smokiest and most mysterious—a fan of high-quality resins and incense.
On my skin, it opens with a strong and exceedingly elegant bergamot, made sweet yet tangy by blackcurrant. It starts with a golden, honeyed quality, tinged with dark undertones—if I had to translate this fragrance into colors, it would shimmer in golden and black hues.
After 10–15 minutes, it develops into resinous and heliotrope notes, with incense as the undeniable star. The incense remains ever-present and intense throughout the fragrance pyramid and its evolution. The elegance of the bergamot and the sweet acidity of blackcurrant are supported by the creaminess and warm embrace of the resins: on one side, the balsamic facet of frankincense, and on the other, the honeyed richness of opoponax, beautifully blending with the vanilla-like, gourmand heliotrope.
In the base, you’ll find oud—not a barnyard-style oud, but rather a dry wood oud, which deepens the mystery into a warm, amber-toned embrace.
The sillage is not extensive; it remains intimate, but the intensity is strong.
Anyone who enters my close personal space will immediately perceive the smoky incense and the enveloping sweetness of honey. It’s well balanced, sophisticated, and evolves beautifully.
On my skin, it comfortably lasts 8+ hours, and on clothes, the base notes linger even after 3–4 days.
It’s a great fragrance. While it doesn’t project over long distances or leave a trail stretching meters and meters, it’s highly elegant, sophisticated, mysterious, and intense.
