Amazing Cardamom Bomb
Fantastic fragrance and doesn't smell like anything else I have. This is my first Memo. This is a Cardamom bomb. Both Cardamom and Saffron is very noticeable in the opening with the Leather which is not the animalistic kind to my nose. The Cumin, to me, smells like more of a supporting note. I'm not a typically a huge fan of Cumin, but it works here. It's got a spice market vibe in the opening as others have described. Vetiver comes out a little more after the initial spraying as it starts to settle down. The Patchouli here is very chocolatey more so than the hippie variety and musk is helping it push off sking pretty strongly. I didn't notice any Bergamot or Oud until i knew they were there and was specifically looking for each of them.
Performance on this is outrageously good. I'm typically an over-sprayer, but I won't be doing that with this one cause I might just choke someone out. I wouldn't wear this in the peak of summer unless you are in a climate controlled environment. The longevity l get is 10-12 hours on my skin. I imagine this on clothes will last 24 hours or more. Sillage and projection is strong for the first hour or two and you'll get wafts for the life of the fragrance after you get into the full dry down.
I got this for $155 so about half off full retail. For that price, I'm very satisfied. I don't think its worth the full $300 retail price. This is not for everyone. I can't see newbies or younger folks who like blue and mass appealing fragrances liking this all that much since leather and some of the other notes may be a little polarizing. Frag-heads will likely find this a safe blind buy, but for everyone else, probably not until testing or buying a decant. I personally love it.
