Seven Seas Caleidoscope
A very solid opening with citrus fruits in the lead, where I can clearly detect lemon, with its creamy and slightly sweet notes (Maybe a 5 fold Lemon, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.) , and mandarin orange, which together with terpenes counterbalances the green notes.
The top notes are then completed by a slightly spicy, peppery touch and ambergris, which is already noticeable at the opening with salty/mineral touches and takes over in the heart, where the "vomit" nuance is more noticeable and then, thanks mainly to iris, it goes on a powdery connotation, similar to talcum powder, with a touch of rose and patchouli (which gives a slight earthy, damp sensation), all creating a vintage effect that never feels outdated, and for this the nose deserves praise.
In the base, the ambergris takes on a new guise, becoming warmer and more welcoming thanks to the presence of balsams and resins, as well as a dark Indian oud with distant smoky/burnt touches that are anything but funky, and rightly so.
Something perfectly constructed that I wouldn't be afraid to wear all year round.
