From barn to peace and tranquil
Opening on this one is heavy on that barny oud but the lotus is still preasent from the start it just needs bit of time. Saffron is spinkled on top to give it bit spicy feel. On scale of how barny the oud is its quite in the middle its barny but not very fecal barny.
On the drydown the oud turns into more earthy kinda leaving the barn behaind and here the lotus starts to bloom. Its like you are being transported from barn yard with toughts of lotus to somewhere peaceful where the lotus is fully blooming. The saffron was left on that barn yard. Here you only get the earthy oud and amazing lotus.
The perfection from perfection
On paper this looked like perfection to me and when i got it on my skin i was 100% certain it really is perfection.
Spicy and bit smoky tobacco/cigar, the star here lotus and binded with amazing oud.
The scent if definetly ment to be oud/lotus but the tobacco gives it very good depth and something unique. its even bit oriental mix. With time the tobacco/cigar tames down and lets the lotus bloom brightly with the oud. its not super ''watery'' lotus as its blend of 3 lotuses but definetly blue lotus being most prominent to my nose. there is bit of the rose to my nose also bit not really that much.
Even thoe its spicy and smoky its smooth and calming. nothing over powers here rather they live on peace and let everyone be part of the scent.
Silkiest dunes
Smooth as Silk and warm as sand dunes on desert. Not at all harsh and everything is balanced to perfection.
Mix of spices giving it the warmth of the sand dunes, the soft but noticable oriental rose heart giving it the silk like smoothness. and this combination is tied with beautiful creamy sandalwood and small hint of leather and oud.
There is not really single bad thing i could say about this even if i had to.
Adill's work is just magnificent and on another level.
Unexpected bowl of rice
Take a bowl of rice and add fruits on top of it and sprinkle some spices on it. go sit on fresh soil and place your oud insence and light it. This captures the scent for me.
Nothing top one of other here they are in perfect balance and the scent is unique and not bad at all. Maybe bit weird mix but somehow it works. To me its quite linear scent not much evolvment apart from fruits fadeing it quite fast. Definetly recommend giving it a try
Usually i dont talk about Sillage or Longevity but with this i have to. Firsty i drowned my arm with this good solid +8 sprays and it was not at all overpowering but the opposite. It has very small sillage and if quite soft projector. Also it dont last very long. Is it big deal ? not usually but if its this unnoticable and i have to swin on it i would not spend my money on bottle. Fragrances are worn to your self but still i need to be able to smell it at resonable dosing and not that i need to swim on it.
Very elegant
oakmoss is the star here. elegent and well done. starts with blast of citrus that is quite short lived. dryes down to spicy oakmoss with touch of florals. Very well done and elegant. quite safe to someone looking to get into bortnikoff or artisan stuff in general. Highly recommend this one. More is always not better and this simple but good scent proves the point.
