A Touch of Everything

My first perfume review for a very beautiful scent.

Normally, I am the quiet perfume user and only read.
Today I decided to comment on this fragrance, as it is quite special.

With the first spray, I was reminded of 2 perfumes: Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade and Widian London.

Leather, oud, and raspberry liqueur make the scent beautiful and oriental.

Fruity Nights in Arabia

Alter Ego manages to make an oriental fragrance wonderfully socially acceptable. The spiciness of the scent is clearly noticeable - it benefits the sweet raspberry and allows the overall composition to merge into a leathery, spicy-sweet dream. Longevity and sillage are excellent and well above average. People who like Ombre Nomade but find it too mainstream will get their money's worth here. Speaking of costs: they are really low for such a top fragrance with equally great performance. An absolute recommendation for autumn/winter!

Smoky Sweet Winter Dream

First of all, this fragrance immediately reminds me of a beautiful Christmas evening with its notes of cinnamon and saffron that jump right out at you. The scent has a lovely finish and then moves into an Oud direction through the various woods, maintaining a harmonious presence for a long time while also adding a leather note.

Personally, I find this fragrance to be very impressive. What strikes me the most is the strong presence of the scent without being intrusive, so one is not overly "bothered" by this fragrance as an outsider.

I can only highly recommend this fragrance as it truly is an enrichment for everyone.

Liqueur on the Skin

A scent that almost resembles a liqueur, a fine sweetness with gentle oud that does not dominate. Saffron and cinnamon blend wonderfully, and the whole thing is finely balanced with wood. For me, it's already an elegant perfume that is beautifully emphasized by the skin warmth of the wearer and opens the door to... we will see. The scent lasts a good 8 hours and is beautiful on my skin - a woody, slightly herbal, gently dark fruity liqueur with a very mild sweetness. It's wonderful to deeply inhale this mixture - I've already received compliments!
I like the combination of really very subtle oud, the woodiness, and the saffron-cinnamon blend. Very well arranged. The purchase has been a great addition to my collection. I also find the bottles appealingly beautiful. This is the perfect companion for autumn. A fine perfume - scent recommendation.

A tightly woven whole of fine smoky oud, woods + resins. Raspberry liqueur adds "freshness," while cinnamon & saffron provide spicy sweetness. Good.

Why only with raspberry liqueur? Without it, it would be (almost) perfect. Woods with a hint of spice and liqueur. I prefer to drink the latter.

A cloud of cinnamon hovers over the raspberry thicket. Sweet raspberry syrup on my hands. Accompanied by saffron. It smells intensely woody-spicy.

Western interpretation of the Oriental:
Fruity sweet, spicy soft, leathery distinctive.
Oud gently embedded, merging with the leather.

Raspberry liqueur drips spicy down the slope.
Après-ski on sandalwood
in a good, old, gentle oud way.
Selfishly well done!!!

Smoke is very present from start to finish. Here, sandalwood + cedar are mixed in Bakhoor. The raspberry liqueur sizzles in the smoke. Cinnamon is just a hint!
