Pirates end up in the jungle.
Men, the jungle is slowly coming into sight. After weeks of sailing through the salty sea & several battles with other crews, our smoky cannons are damaged & our supplies have run out. We have to put ashore in the oudy jungle, get new supplies & recover. Start by extracting the balsamic & moist juices of the eaglewood tree in the green, piney, mossy forest. Use its cedar-like wood to light a smoky campfire. The leather-belted animals listen quietly in the dark. Make a hot relaxing drink in a sitting circle. Those in the north call it coffee or tea. But their drinks are too bitter, spice it up sweet & sweet with cinnamon & vanilla sticks. All that's missing is a cigar & rum and we'll have the most relaxing evening ever.

My first NOAM & such a great one.
Tested on skin (1x spray) & paper strips (2x sprays).
Skin :
Very multi-layered start, which does not take me to sea, but on land in the jungle. Smoky, oudy & only briefly citrusy. This Cambodian jungle is already delicious.
A subtle creaminess is added - perhaps the sandalwood.
Suddenly woody-green facets, something between pine & moss.
In addition, a salty-smoky ambergris.
Towards the end, sweet-spicy facets, something like ambered coffee with cinnamon & vanilla. With the pleasant smoke & oud together almost something of oriental bukhoor & thus reminding me of Agar Aura's Al-Arabiya (whose incense aromas I also like very much). Some matte-woody cedar with sweet-spicy cinnamon & green-wooded pine at the very end as the last remnant -> Agar Aura Yellow Kinam.
The Ambras & Ouds have something of Agar & Ensar. Smoky, cinnamon-spicy & jungle-esque green with high quality -> Khmer Kinams Cambodi. The other notes (cinnamon, smoke, moss & co.) have only intensified their natural smoky aromas -> as in Al-Arabiya.
Paper :
Initially citrusy, clovey, smoky and woody. Sweet and humid jungle. Quickly takes on an animal, leathery facet, like tarry animals. It stays that way for a long time, probably because of the 2 sprays + paper. Very dense - like Dixit & Zak's Hindi Tabac.
Balsamic incense, sandalwood, cinnamon & other spicy notes give cozy incense aromas with the tobacco.
The green pines & mosses take their time but become more and more noticeable. They bring lightness, relaxation & a connection to nature with the tea in what is actually a dense work. Like a big tiger that can also retract its claws & cuddle. This makes this work with the sweet spice of cinnamon & vanilla with light coffee bukhoor vibes towards the end amazingly wearable.
If I had to guess from the notes & my experience where the green-wooded pine & jungle come from, it's probably the oud, which I also often perceived in Cambodian, for example, as well as the loamy drydown.
From time to time, smoky-salty aromas flash up, which I would assign to ambergris and tobacco. I wonder if the tarry smoke comes from the gunpowder? More likely from the animals. The flowers are subordinate, they don't stand a chance in this wild party, which as a flower hater I think is just great - this is not a floral work at all :D
You can tell that someone has tried to mix everything they love into a natural blend. Fortunately, he absolutely succeeded & he also meets my taste very well.
On the pirate theme: It's well done -> salt, smoke & rum. Nevertheless, I am figuratively more in the jungle because of the oud & green facets (which I love).
I liked the test on the skin more because it wasn't so tarry-ledgy-animalic & instead more oudy & green-cinnamony a la Agar Aura. But maybe it would have been the same on paper with just 1 spray, as everything took a little longer. The dosage has a significant influence on what stands out clearly and for how long. Even more so with such dense & natural works. In addition, fragrances develop very quickly on my skin (perhaps because I'm constantly sniffing them? :D). Then your own skin chemistry comes into play. Mine was lucky ;) I have to sniff the drydown all the time.
In terms of quality, you can't really get much more out of a fragrance: lots of great naturals. As for the blending: excellent. Multi-layered with development, always pleasant & completely to my taste.
I'll be simmering this fall/winter.
Very good longevity, good sillage. Does not scream at the surroundings but beguiles them invitingly.
The fragrance is unisex for me because of its closeness to nature.
Love oud. Love smoke. Smooth with sweet-spicy & green facets made into a harmonious blend. Special & wearable at the same time. That's how it should be.
