Significantly different than expected...
Hello everyone,
Today I would like to share something about "Lily Gris: Sekadau | Ensar Oud / Oriscent".
To be honest, I lingered around it for a very long time (months) - wondering if it was worth it or not. Perhaps some of you know, I have mentioned in previous reviews that I have an (acute) allergy or shortness of breath specifically from Jasmine Sambac, but somehow from all types of Jasmine - and so far my only truly extreme exception was "Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD | Ensar Oud / Oriscent", but just because it was the case there doesn’t mean it applies here...
And when I read that Malaysian Oud is present, along with some tobacco, a resinous myrrh, and apparently quite a bit of amber and also the blue lotus... - yes, overall that was very enticing...
Regarding the Jasmine...., that has to be tested and tried (anything else would be pointless).
Said and done - tested ... and then?
About the scent:
It is very dominated by lotus - amber - oud, but there is soooo much more to discover - it feels like a little journey you embark on.
In the first 10 to 15 minutes, you will encounter a fermented Jasmine. Due to this special type of further processing, it has a plastic effect and at least evokes in me the association of an older hospital PVC floor.
After that, the scent becomes very dry and the combination of amber and oud enters the room. I get a slight resemblance to my "Oud Royale (Eau de Parfum) | Ensar Oud / Oriscent", but of course without the leather.
= an amber lump washes ashore after xxx years in the sea and lies next to a very oud-like driftwood on the beach
After 2 hours, the tobacco and the incorporated Japanese incense set in, and the scent becomes very pleasantly smoky, and after x hours, the oud used here calls out from the DISTANCE. It is also somewhat drier, but not dusty or unpleasant, rather fitting overall. The blue lotus is always present, but it never actively pushes to the forefront; in my opinion, it is always a perfect accompaniment.
After my test, I acquired a bottle, and I’ll put it this way! YES, it will not become my absolute favorite scent from EO, but it doesn’t have to be. I am also somewhat surprised at how it is sometimes perceived here or described in the statements.
The fragrance pyramid has somewhat misled me or put me on a somewhat wrong path regarding the indicated jasmine tea; however, it is definitely fermented jasmine.
If the opportunity arises - test it,
you probably won’t regret it!
On the topic of price:
In terms of pricing, I find it ultra modest to evaluate something like this, as the products offered by EO are basically in the ULTRA - high-end - niche - artisan - luxury league, and therefore I find it incredibly modest to actually say something like that. Yes, there are perfumes and oils with prices that some cars cost...., but everyone has to decide for themselves whether that is WORTH it or not - that’s how I see the topic!
And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny
