So good it's hard to believe it exists
More Middle Eastern than most Middle Eastern fragrances. All quintessential "Oriental" assets in one package!
What does the "trick" here is cumin, which makes the scent intriguing, nose-arresting, and prevents it from becoming "pleasant" (as in "crowd pleasing).
The drydown scent may appear quite austere, not your usual "cozy wrapping". The point is to understand how the scent is perceived in the air.

An underrated beauty
One of my first loves, it remains unbeatable in terms of a fruity-smoky-animal effect achieved without florals and oud. Plus a cola vibe!
"Oriental" sans rose, oud, pepper and florals - no florals at all! Its sweetness is very soft and not gourmand to me.
Persistent on clothes.
The scent feels "transparent", projection rather lazy.
To conclude: A hidden gem with a classic vibe.

I'm shocked how good it is - what happened to its rating?!
Such a unique smell! Evocative yet abstract, it challenges your brain, not your nose! To me, it's neither fruits nor vegetables (nor spices), so initially my memory suggested "something in between": Japanese quince. But wine is also present, for sure. Fiercely persistent, especially on thicker clothing.
Due to its abstract character, the associations evoked by it differ wildly. For example, some get a scorched accord - personally, I sense nothing of that sort.
