A unique blend like they don't do any more
Having enjoyed Tigris for quite a while and then reading the previous reviewer's words, I was puzzled, because the perfume feels so different to me.
First, a burst of fun green apple, that vaguely reminds me of some childhood kid shampoo memories - the zesty fruity cleanness that takes your senses by storm in a happy innocent way of child's play. After about a minute the apple dissolves and the actual perfume starts to present itself. It's hard to say what notes exactly these are, because it feels like a blend of dozens of things that have melted together to form one whole that cannot be taken apart any longer. There are probably fresh white florals (jasmine, neroli, but nothing heavy or indolic). There are spices, but not in the "turkish bazaar" concentration - just finely sprinkled between the flowers and the woods. There are woods, but they feel so weightless that I cannot tell if its cedarwood, or somethings else entirely.
The feeling I get from this composition is lightness and iridescence. It's fresh, but it's not fleeting. It unfolds and changes on skin throughout the day, never standing still. It's super enjoyable and never annoying even after wearing it straight for a week. It's there for me, but does not knock out passers by with a "sillage punch" like many mainstream perfumes do these days. A thoroughly elegant experience. I do not have a title, but this is what I imagine aristocratic ladies and gentlemen to smell like in some perfect version of the world.
It's expensive. But it was worth it to me, I cherish it as my private treasure, and it makes me happy when I wear it.
