Phenomenal!
Begins with a beautiful, nectary apricot, with creamy & fluffy, rummy & smoky vanilla already peeking through from the start. Divine. To my senses not terribly animalic, those facets of narcissus and oud kept in check mainly by the vanilla whose sweetness plays the yin to their yang, or the yang to their yin I suppose, the smoky, woody oud and sticky sweet rum comprising the darker aspects.
About an hour in the lovely apricot begins to fade, leaving in it’s wake the most gorgeous, fluffy vanilla, it’s smoke and rum tinged edges giving such wonderful caramelized / marshmallow nuances. It’s actually incredible, I place it in the top 5 vanilla accords I’ve ever tested. Also seems to last for days. The attar itself is wonderfully dark and thick.
Sillage great, strongest at first, soon becoming moderate with lovely wafts still greeting you every which way. Longevity as said awesome. I don’t remember being particularly wowed by the perfume version, but this attar has me on a vanilla scented Cloud 9. For $125 for 3g in a great looking glass, I consider it a rather spectacular deal!
Bravo, good sirs!!!
P.S. Thinking about it, it bears a significant resemblance to Maksim’s newer Vanilla Oud, and being a bit disappointed with how little a departure L’Oud Marin was from the joint effort of him Mr. Balkrishnan, Oud Indochine, I am a little saddened seeing that VO, which I am still enthusiastic about as one can see by my review for it, has such striking similarities with another of Rajesh’s works. That being said, I still applaud most of the young sir’s releases, and think he often does great when he aims for novelty. With VO being more similar to this than I find it’s corresponding perfume to be, they’ll be wonderful to wear in complement to each other nonetheless.
