Intensely Animalic Patchouli & Leather
All Naso fragrances are made with attars as bases. They work with distillers in Kannauj, the perfume capital of India, to create customized extractions with these perfumes in mind. They then blend these natural attars with aroma-chemicals, and alcohol to make them wear more like a western perfume.
The raw materials are natural & intense. And one point to note regarding most attars, especially from India, is that they're, almost always, distilled on to a base of Sandalwood oil - so it could be Rose, Tobacco, Jasmine or Vetiver - they're steam distilled on to a base of Sandalwood oil. So the presence of Sandalwood notes is unavoidable even if it's never mentioned in the pyramid.
I had to wear this one a few times before I could sniff out at least some of the individual notes/accords. This one opens with an intensely skanky/animalic Patchouli. They've probably paired it with Castoreum absolute or it's replacer. It has a strong odour reminiscent of iso-butyl quinoline - that smoky leathery-woody animalic - totally reminded me of Lui(Mazzolari) & Ten(Knize) - even hints of the mighty Kouros(YSL). It takes a few good hours to really get to the dry down which starts off with crisp & smoky Vetiver oil and some Tobacco notes. The tobacco is further propped up by a generous dose of Coumarin (probably including some Tonka Bean absolute) - hint of sweetness & intensely dry hay. The dry woody nature of the Tobacco trails off to a woodier base of almost all Sandalwood materials - Sandalwood oil + some aroma chemicals. Javanol seems possible simply due to the high impact of the note. The Sandalwood aroma will fill the house for a few days - especially if someone else is wearing it. On myself, I seem to go anosmic to Javanol pretty soon. Finally, a hint of Vanilla and a touch of Labdanum (maybe).
This perfume is mostly heart & base notes. Nothing remotely fresh or airy about this. Definitely has a lot of naturals in it - which makes it smell quite different on everyone. It's not as polished/finessed as any of the high-street brands or the niche houses - but it's slightly more rough-edged like so many of the Indie brands from around the world.
I'd surely recommend trying their sample set - for a different kind of aromatic experience. My personal favorites from this house are - Basil Sambac, Bergamot Tamarind, & Tabac.
