On the Roof of the World

I close my eyes. In Tibet's deep valleys. High on the roof of the world.
All around me, only vastness - almost infinitely intoxicating.
On the horizon, the musk-red clouds let me breathe their sparkling dark fruity light in the twilight. Soft and minimalist.
With every breath, I drink the cream-colored air.
And up high in the skies, the eagle's woody wings swirl, carrying the tea of the fields into the wind of the departing day.
I laugh with the wind and follow the lonely path, lined with velvety flowers.
Far in the distance, to the temple - and I am there.

***

I haven't written any texts or formulated a review here for a long time. I thought my energy in this regard had fizzled out.
Until recently, however, EO has caught up with me. In connection with this beautiful and incredibly successful fragrance, I feel I owe this work a few worthy words...

When activating the sprayer, a cloud of musk explodes forth, certainly unmatched. The indisputable quality of Tonkin and Tibet musk is omnipresent from the very beginning and is guaranteed to be intensified over time by a "musk twirl" in the bottle. It's also important to note that it never feels dirty or grimy. The initial animalic note fades quickly, but builds the tension continuously and progressively, giving the fragrance the necessary backbone.
A juicy blackberry envelops the musk like a cocoon and balances it out delicately. Supported by flashing streaks of black tea, I come to the following conclusion: Never too much, yet still a real punch.
The dark fruity aromas color this initial picture so incredibly authentically that I must admit I have never encountered anything like it before.
After this introduction, it doesn't take long for the beautifully blended ouds to integrate with their dark woodiness. A generous portion of vintage Irian Jaya oud and the namesake Hailam Kilam was likely used. A rare Hainan oud that interacts perfectly with the full force of the musk.
Finally, a few floral-sweet arrangements and vintage Mysore sandalwood round off the entire composition, making it wonderfully wearable. The longevity is, of course, high due to the precious and valuable, as well as rare raw materials, as is the price. But that is another topic and logically to be factored in with EO.

Definitely high-end
Maximally authentic
Potentially addictive

Help, I am lost and so is my wallet :))

Thank you for the little journey to the roof of the world. I haven't had any experience with this brand yet, but it sounds very tempting, even though Tonkin musk presents a bit of a challenge.
Best regards from Cologne,
