How do you do it that the words flow so beautifully? It sounds fantastic.

Smoking on the platform, you wait in suspense for the poor, rickety train to slowly emerge from the jungle green. Awesome. I need to experience that scent again.

I didn't see too much in another life. I've been after that bottle for months. :-)

Night trains are always nice.
Even in economy class... if it smells good.

Night trains are great. It's like flying with your eyes closed.

I always read through all the responses and explanations. It's quite unique but also very remarkable. The wild rose hedge and the strong concentration are really something special.

Jak's handwriting is clearly noticeable here as well. A fresh, green wild rose hedge, along with hay and earthy undertones.

With "Haystack of the Rosehip," I immediately perked up my ears.

But is a wild rose a vinegar rose? I've never heard of that.

Hedge rose or wild rose smells really good. 🌺

Thiiiis rose.... And then the acidity of the rosehip added to it.... You know what I mean....

I do quite like rose hip jam. I'm not sure if I would like the scent, though...

If I had written "vinegar rose," some people would have recoiled in disgust again. :-)
The wild rose is completely unsweetened.

And I call you wise, Juwita, for preferring the train over the traffic jam on Jalan Panjaitang.

Spicy, sweet from the rosehip?
Or a bit sour instead? Sounds interesting, for sure.

Juwita Malam: When I got to know the scent last year thanks to @Ropanski2020, I was already pretty UCCA infected. The Python hat and its contents didn't let me go. Now, through some twists and turns, I finally found Bottle N°1! Thanks @Matze8338 @HalverHahn. 😅
A quick note on the scent: I find strong parallels to the creamy Batavia Oud in the opening, but here the tobacco leaf/earth/hay comes more into play under the cool/green/waxy/elegant wild rose hedge.

@Seejungfrau
That was you 😄. Now he has FINALLY moved in with you. You wanted him, you got him. The green-earthy Borneo Oud is a bold choice, especially combined with roses-it's not found anywhere else in this form. It's quite daring, as it starts off pleasantly characterful. As it develops, the dried biomass becomes more prominent-you have to like that. Not my favorite UCCA release, but far from mediocre.

Ucca:
Juwita Malam is an eccentric perfume inspired by a song - Juwita Malam - composed by the legendary Indonesian composer and national hero Ismail Marzuki. The lyrics of this song describe a person who falls in love at first sight, hoping to meet again, during their first encounter on the night train to Jakarta. Musicians often sing this song as a romantic accompaniment. Sensual floral notes of rose, jasmine, and a hint of tuberose with an oudy backbone, tobacco smokiness, and a leathery touch of castoreum; Juwita Malam tells you the story of a passionate one-night stand. Notes: French rose, jasmine, tuberose, ambrosia tincture, hay absolute, beeswax absolute, castoreum absolute, tobacco tincture, Borneo oud oil. Concentration: 35% pure perfume. Perfumer: Jaka Umbaran.
