One of the Best Fragrances from Pana Dora
Right from the start, the iris grabs you immediately. I am an absolute fan of iris fragrances in men's or unisex perfumes - even though I initially had no idea what iris actually smells like until the connections became clear at some point.
The scent begins with a strong, bright, and powdery cold iris. Paired with pink pepper and a similarly powdery sweet violet, it gains a hint of sweetness.
However, it is absolutely not a sweet opening. I think the violet is meant to create some space with its light sweetness without overshadowing the powdery note.
The opening is truly majestic. It invites you in like a grand, old hunting lodge that opens its heavy doors and lets you step in from the cold, snow-covered forest.
Once you step inside, the warm heart note unfolds: orange blossom for sweetness, amberwood, pine resin, tuberose, and amber. However, to ensure that it doesn’t become too sweet or too heavy, a generous portion of cashmere wood is added, which continues to bring that powdery tone and softens the warm, dense notes a bit. I personally don’t perceive the tuberose very strongly.
The fragrance concludes with deep vanilla, leather, dry woods, and papyrus.
Here too, there is an enveloping, warming vanilla that is tempered by the leather and dry woods, preventing any sticky sweetness from developing. Instead, a powdery-dry, noble impression remains.
An absolute winter banger.
All in all: warming, slightly sweet, but in a powdery-dry way. Not heavy and sticky, but majestic and opulent.
