When applying "Sir Agarwood | The Misk Company," I was reminded of several artisan fragrances, and I once again realized why I often do not like these scent directions. They are simply too bulky for me and suitable for very few occasions. That said, the performance here is strong. The longevity on my skin exceeds 12 hours with a successful sillage.
The top note initially smells very animalic like castoreum but also intensely woody like oud. The heart note is leathery and oriental-spicy with aromas of cloves, allspice, nutmeg, suede, and tobacco. The base again has an animalic, resinous-woody, dark, earthy, but also smoky scent of agarwood, castoreum, civet, musk, cedarwood, peat, and labdanum.
Even though "Sir Agarwood | The Misk Company" does not offer a signature that truly appeals to me, I sincerely thank Sören for the decant.
