Smoky green beast
Today I am wearing Maroke Maharaja. Originally released as a gift attar, the community was able to convince Ensar to create a perfume version. This is an absolute monster of a fragrance! It opens with a blast of sharp, smoky green incense and khus (vetiver). The peppery coriander is very prominent in the open, getting awfully close to food-ish, but thankfully, the smokiness of the maroke oud holds the green coriander back enough to remain enjoyable.
The heart of this fragrance is a mélange of oud, smokiness, tobacco, oakmoss and vetiver. It seems like they are all fighting for the top and each sniff gives me something different. I am getting a tiny bit of sweetness from cardamom and black tea, but it is quite subtle. Tonkin musk really grounds the composition, and allows all of the loud notes to blend cohesively together.
This is a wild fragrance. Truly unlike anything I have ever worn before and I am not really sure how to perceive it. It is green, smoky, oudy and loud. This is not for those looking to blend in
