The scent immediately reminded me of Era by Memoize London. At first, saffron dominates even more than incense and rose; I would have bet that pepper is also included.

The apple, which gives the fragrance its fruity note, I unfortunately find very hard to detect.

Oud, like with Era, I have to guess at; it could have been more prominent, as PDM played it safe again.

This unfortunately makes Habdan redundant for me compared to Era by Memoize London.
Nonetheless, Habdan is more elegant and pleasing.

Last week I was in Cyprus and a teenager walked past me in a restaurant, smelling so good that I followed him and asked what he was wearing, and he said Bergamask by Orto Parisi.

It was a citrusy, spicy, animalistic fragrance composition.

The scent left such a good impression on me that when I returned to Hamburg, I immediately ordered it.
Today it arrived. I sprayed one on my wrist and one on my upper arm.
Later, I wanted to go shopping and sprayed four more under my T-shirt. When I was at the checkout in Lidl, the scent projected so strongly that I was almost embarrassed. I felt like I was suffocating the people around me. After more than 6 hours, I still have a strong Bergamask cloud around me. I think the scent will continue to shine for several more hours. The fragrance is now more spicy than citrusy, not as animalistic as expected.
Upon first spraying, the animalic note reminded me of some other scent (Musk Ravageur?) but only for about 3 minutes.

I don't know of any fragrance that I can compare to Bergamask.
I think you can use 3-4 sprays in summer and a few more in winter. I believe this scent can be worn year-round depending on the dosage.
Into the treasure chest!

It starts with a sweet fruity and slightly citrus note (I always get a bit of water in my mouth) nestled on a slightly animalistic Oud note.
After 20 minutes on the skin, it becomes spicy-floral for me (typical rose-Oud combination), with the Oud note remaining present in the background as a base.
Later, the floral notes also fade away, leaving a spicy base of musk, Oud, and sweet tonka.
The scent progression is indeed structured as the fragrance pyramid suggests; I usually struggle to describe scent notes and their progression, but here it was very easy for me.
I always wonder why I use this fragrance so rarely, probably because it was so affordable? Or because I always first think that it’s a (real?) Oud bomb?
For me, it is an affordable niche fragrance with good quality.

When I spray the scent on my hand and hold it to my nose, I smell a resinous sweet tonka bean - amber combination.
A sweet warm aura surrounds me, but after 1-2 hours, I can no longer smell it.
I had the same experience with D&G the One EDP; I could spray half the bottle and still wouldn't smell it anymore.

I know that others perceive the scent; unfortunately, I only have a brief pleasure.
For me, it's more of a cuddly scent that the partner enjoys.

The scent always reminds me of the changing rooms from my youth (school/sports clubs) - it always smelled mixed with sweat, deodorants, toilet stones/urine, and perfume.

It is truly an animalistic fragrance. Anyone who wants to know what an animalistic scent smells like must try Kouros.

For me personally, the top note is very piercing, intrusive, and biting (hence probably the many comparisons to urine and toilet stones).
Once the top note settles, a masculine, elegant, spicy scent emerges in the heart note that instantly transports you back to the 90s.
The Rattlesnake with Kurt Russell has the same release year. If this fragrance were to be compared to a movie character, it would be “Snake Plissken” #Animalistic#biting#Strong.

A tip for everyone who was put off by the top note of this fragrance.
Spray it generously on a shirt and let it sit for 1-2 hours. Then it loses its bite and becomes a hearty, spicy, fresh, elegant men's fragrance that is unique.

I must add, however, that I noticed a certain similarity to ANTAEUS? Agree?
