Zaid - Exceptional

This is how the name of this perfume is translated from Arabic. What does it smell like?
At first, green twigs, freshly broken. That's the first thing that hits me with the first spray. A green, fresh scent, like natural leaf juice. After a while, young wood and basil emerge, accompanied by a pinch of pepper. For a brief moment it was bitter, but then it starts to develop into something unique. Nothing in my collection resembles this fragrance. It's a very aromatic patchouli with vetiver.
I would say that there is also a hidden flower among all these forest herbs, but I can't put my finger on it. Or something fruity? Those pepper berries? The scent lasts for several hours, and even after washing I can still smell it. It projects strongly for at least two to three hours before retreating into an aura of no more than half a meter. But enough to notice it.

A unique creation from a house I've heard little about so far, but have already had three perfumes from them in the last four weeks. The bottle is exceptionally beautiful and carefully crafted.

I would say it is unisex, but since there is no sweetness to be smelled here, it tends slightly towards the masculine. It reminds me a little of White Hinoki with a hint of Encre Noire Eau de Toilette, but it is still different.
