Oh yes...
I haven't worn a fragrance this much in a LONG time. This is perhaps the best rose x animalic fragrance I've smelled outside of maybe the night. Altho I really can't compare at this point being I haven't smelled the night in about 8yrs.

Anyway, this goes beyond my knowledge of perfumery to articulate the complexity of this fragrance, but I'm confident enough to call this a luxurious smelling, complex, musky, ambery, rosey fragrance. And, yeah, that blueberry accord is a real thing, altho it's not sweet. It's more like smelling the thin tart skin of a blueberry after being spat out. In a good way though.

This has the right amount of animalics so as to be challenging, but at the same time HIGHLY addicting. I wore this 3 consecutive days a week ago and I'm wearing this today.

Again, I had this on my list from the first time I saw it pop up online, due to the name and notes. When I seen it at a REALLY good price, I just pressed add to cart and so is the story lol

I bought about 6 fragrances in the last 3 months. I really don't see anything thing else, outside of some wild new release or perhaps a rare to discounters Serge Lutens, that I will be open to buying, but let's see.

Enjoy everyone!

The Cleanest and Most Elegant Scoundrel in the Whole Forest
Deer
The deer has always been the epitome of a noble and proud animal for me. It radiates strength and masculinity, yet also appears majestic and wise. The great leader that the herd follows without hesitation, feeling secure because he possesses this soft and beautiful side as well.
The lion is said to be the king of the animals, strong, wild, and fearsome. In reality, however, he is actually the laziest of them all, always taking the best for himself. And the way he treats his wife(s)... well, let’s leave that aside. But the deer... Noble!

Pana Dora
I naturally became aware of Pana Dora through the deer flacons. To get this out of the way: Flacon design 10/10! Deer flacon, Swedish house... it can only be damn good!
After several years in the "fragrance game," I have found my niche and am very happy about it. Mainly because I no longer have to chase every current hype and test through countless types of fragrances. I like it classic, masculine, with lots of leather, soap, etc., etc. Definitely everything, just not sweet and nice!
And that’s exactly what I hoped for from these graceful deer flacons!
And at first...
... I was disappointed.
Don’t get me wrong, all high-quality fragrances and definitely just right for a very large audience.
But definitely too nice for me. It wasn’t really what I associated with a Swedish deer. So, Pana Dora was off the list and out of my mind.
Grand Musk
Pana Dora was off the table for a long time. Until I stumbled upon a video discussing "shelf warmers." And there, the aforementioned Grand Musk was introduced. "The only silver deer," "Animalic musk," "Gentlemen"... That was enough for me; I had to test it again!
Not long after, it was (once again coincidentally) time, and I could test it...
... And I was immediately smitten!
That was exactly what I had envisioned under my original ideas and associations. The mighty and proud deer in all its splendor!
How does it smell?
Right after spraying, one perceives an animalic spicy musk note. For many, it seems very animalic, but for me, it’s just right and very pleasant. This animality diminishes somewhat after a while but remains throughout the entire fragrance journey. What I want to add is that I don’t want to break it down into all the individual notes (I’m too much of a dilettante for that anyway), but rather describe it as a total work of art:

It is definitely very classic and creamy, almost a bit boozy, but more like a good brandy. The combination of powdery white musk and animalic musk results in a simultaneously clean and floral, but also dirty and sultry scent. All in all, definitely sensual! And above all, it feels like there’s not too much of any part.

Notes that I definitely perceive (besides the aforementioned musk) are rose and amber. I think it’s the amber that unfolds its warm and slightly sweet note here. The rose makes it classic, and the clove is also undeniable in the interplay. Generally, I could interpret all the other listed notes as well, but I find the ones I mentioned here to be the most decisive for me. Leather is also clearly perceptible in the later stages and complements the animalic musk perfectly.
In summary:

Very elegant, creamy, and liqueur-like. Clean and dirty at the same time and above all: Sensual!
Animalic meets powdery musk and leather, amber and rose blend wonderfully together.

A fragrance that I want to sniff again and again, which somehow makes me addicted.

Longevity / Sillage:

Top... Just right, in my opinion. I’ve been wearing it for about 9 hours now, still perceive it clearly, but it doesn’t bother me. On the contrary. 3 sprays are absolutely enough to make my girlfriend notice it positively from 2 meters away outdoors, 3 hours after spraying.
Price / Performance:
100 ml, beautiful flacon, absolutely high quality, and a very unique DNA. For me, it’s absolutely worth the money.

For whom?
I understand that such a DNA can be polarizing. As I said, it is very classic and specific. Even though the animality is just right for me, I understand that it’s not everyone’s darling and can be too specific for many. But that’s what makes it and the niche so special. It’s simply not nice! Whoever wears this deer wants exactly what is offered here. It’s more likely the classic 30+ wearer. But perhaps for the particular lady, on whom it would probably smell wonderful as well.
If you like this kind of fragrance, then give it a try!
Conclusion:
This fragrance is exactly what I associate with a deer. It is noble, graceful, animalic, strong, and beautiful. The image of the proud deer in a misty forest clearing comes to mind when I have to describe it. An absolute "under the radar" fragrance and for me so far the best Pana Dora!

Thank you for reading!

The best deer for me in the place
I have tried all the Pana Dora fragrances, and this one convinced me immediately. It is something special and at the same time unique. The first moment when I sprayed it on my skin was rather "brutal" - "What is this?" - but afterwards, I couldn't stop smelling it. One spray gently colors the skin brown, and you can tell that it is a high-quality fragrance.

On the skin, I find it significantly better than on a strip. After an hour, it develops into a wonderful scent for me. The blend of blueberry, vanilla, and spices is simply a dream. The whole thing is naturally very animalistic, refined by the musk, creating something I have never smelled before.

So far, I have already received 2 compliments.

The "Stag" of Stags
You think nothing of it, casually reach for the silver stag and spray it on... Bam.
In fact, you are almost overwhelmed at first. The initial moment is brutal; you don't understand what is happening... something like this is unknown to you.
It leads me to something absolutely animalistic at first, which smells like a forest floor, where a whole herd of stubborn stags lives... - and I mean it seriously - that exact image was in my mind.
For me, it is an unmistakably masculine scent, but it is very much a matter of getting used to at the beginning. The fragrance then becomes milder over time, developing a sweetness that slightly reminds of rose and cinnamon, and a scent of leather makes its way.
This stag is not for everyone
and can only be captured by those who truly engage with it. Otherwise, it's better to keep your hands off, or you might hurt yourself.
Personally, I wear it only rarely, but when I do, it is special every time, especially in the dry down.

Zoo Park
Hello...
I discovered the fragrance through my best friend.
Since he collects perfumes.

My first contact was Opuluxe, but that's another story.

He showed me Grand Musk and Hola the Forest Fairy, I stand in the forest. Around me, a group of deer, nature is alive. I feel animalistic. I am the lord of the forest park.

I bought it, and I am more than satisfied.
It should be noted that it is not for everyone's nose.

Best regards
Gary

Opens up w/ clearly animalic strong musk accompanied w/ spices. Maybe too much for many but later it softens into a pleasant sexy, sensual.

Opened oriental rose, transitioned woody-animalic. Structure reminds me mostly of Xerjoff's Luxor. Masculine, fall-winter. Feels a bit weak.

Strongly spiced leather with a bold animalistic undertone. A rose occasionally peeks through. I wouldn't know when and where....

Strong animalic musk note with rose, spicy undertone, and a soft suede note: a conventionally niche scent interpreted in a demanding way.

With the animal musk-leather accord, you need skill and of course rose. The rest of the notes hardly matter.

Very strong and loud rose. Undermines everything. A bit of patch and incense can hold their own. Maybe also cedar...

The stag nibbles in the spice cabinet before trotting through the dark forest over damp earth. Moss, leaves, leather. No clean musk. For men.

Totally riding an old dirty deer like in Lord of the Rings through some fantasy Sweden. Yaaay!
(Best Pana Dora, I think)
