Significantly different than expected...
Hello everyone,
today I would like to tell you something about Lily Gris: Sekadau.
I'll be honest, I've been lurking around this one for a very long time (months) - whether it's anything or not. Maybe one or the other knows it, in previous reviews I have mentioned it more often that I get an (acute) allergy or shortness of breath especially from jasmine Sambac, but somehow from all jasmine varieties and so far my only really extreme exception was the Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD, but just because it was like that doesn't necessarily mean anything...
And when I read that there is Malaysian oud, some tobacco, a resinous myrrh and apparently quite a lot of ambergris and also the blue lotus... - yes, all in all it was very charming...
About the jasmine...., you have to test and try it (anything else would be pointless).
Said - and done - tested ... and then?
About the fragrance:
It's very lotus - amber - oud dominant, but there's soooo much more to discover - it's like a little journey that you embark on.
A fermented jasmine awaits you for the first 10 to 15 minutes. This special type of further processing gives it a three-dimensional effect and evokes in me at least the association of a hospital PVC floor that is a little older.
After that, the fragrance becomes very dry and the combination of ambergris and oud enters the room. I get a slight resemblance to my Oud Royale Eau de Parfum but of course without the leather.
= a lump of ambergris reaches the shore after xxx years in the sea and lies on a very oudy driftwood on the beach
After 2 hours, the tobacco and the Japanese incense incorporated here set in and the fragrance becomes very pleasantly smoky and after x hours the oud used here emerges from the distance. It is also a little drier, but not dusty or unpleasant, but rather fitting overall. The blue lotus is also always there, but it never actively pushes its way to the forefront; in my opinion, it is always a perfect accessory.
After my test, I bought myself a bottle and let me put it this way! YES, it won't be my absolute favorite EO fragrance, but it doesn't have to be. I'm also a little surprised at how it sometimes gets away here or is described in the statements.
For me, the fragrance pyramid lied a bit here or led me down the wrong path in relation to the jasmine tea mentioned, but it is definitely fermented jasmine.
If the option opens up - test it,
you may not regret it!
Topic price:
In terms of price, I find it ultra modest to evaluate something like that anyway, because the products offered by EO are virtually the ULTRA - high-end - niche - artisan - luxury - league and therefore I find it incredibly modest to actually wrong to say something like that. Yes, there are perfumes and oils that cost what some cars cost...., but everyone has to decide for themselves whether they are worth it or not - that's how I see the issue!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
