Grows on you

First time I sniffed this fragrance I thought it was disjoined but as I gave it some wearing I started to understand, appreciate and love this perfume. The fragrance constantly changes on you and you are taken into an exciting journey. Initially you are hit with bergamot, vanilla and frankincense a bit harsh as the frankincense dominates but it is mellowed by the vanilla. As the scent moves to its mid- and drydown it mellows out the frankincense is almost undetectable with jasmin and oud coming to the top. The oud is mellow not the stinky kind. The drydown is enchanting skirting the point of "too dark" to "light flowery" scent. This is very unique, long lasting ands pleasant. However if you are looking for a complement getter this is not for you.

A mysterious journey through the desert!

This fragrance takes me to the oasis in the middle of the Sahara where the desert breeze carries a lot of olfactive notes of the richness of sweets, the warmth of spices, and everything in between.⁣

With Lost in the Desert, the brand has definitely hit all the right notes. It's vibrant, it's rich, and dense. To me, it's a woody gourmand fragrance that opens up with a blast of sweet notes almost reminiscent of a citrus vanilla pie all wrapped around spices. I love the darkness that's behind all the sweetness. Almost dry woody incense-like depth that adds another dimension to the scent. I get lots of vanilla along with floral nuances up top. Dry down is where the magic really starts with a lot of olibanum, oud and almost sandalwood-like vibes. ⁣

Initially, I thought it's a gourmand scent but soon I realized that there was much more to this. The spices and the woods that comes 30 mins into the fragrance just definitely check all the boxes for me.

A promising one from the house.
