A lively orange blossom
The initial spray is very reminiscent of a classic cologne scent, but slightly sweeter and soapier. It goes pretty heavy on the orange blossom throughout, unfortunately.
Secondly comes the citruses that start out very sour (dish soap), but turns into the most amazing orange-y scent! Sweet, tart, fantastic! Unfortunately you can really only smell that up close. If you just get a whiff of the scent, it mostly smells like orange blossom.
The drydown is a nice and toasty, sweet and almost a slightly savoury scent.

An easy reach
I must admit i've never actually eaten pistachios, so i'm not one to say if this smells accurate.
This scent initially reminds me of Gris Charnel - heavy on the cardamom note, though not as dense and strong.
As it dries down it gets more powdery and vanillic, slightly warm and toasty. Longevity and sillage are subpar just like the rest of the scents from the brand.

10/10 - Actually perfect
Reading these reviews is such a good reminder for me that perfumes are indeed very subjective.
This perfume reminds me exactly of a specific market in Bangkok that i spent a good portion of my childhood in. I can easily discern the aspects of the perfume that reminds me of the different stalls at the market - the dry and herbal scent of unlit incense, the aromatic scent of newly made wooden sculptures and furniture, the slightly salty and savory scent emanating from the food stalls scattered throughout the market, and of course - the eggy stench of sewer water that can be smelled throughout the entire city.
This happened to be one of the first niche perfumes i got to try, and it's still one of my favorites. I rarely wear it because it is, as other reviewers have stated, a VERY strong and unique perfume.

Bitter tea with a lack of aftertaste
Opens up beautifully with a bitter and heavy tobacco note accompanied by citrus, reminding me a bit of an oversteeped earl grey tea.
It's a scent that's classified as being warm based on the notes, yet it has this cold and empty quality to it, like something is missing in the drydown. It also smells a bit like chlorinated water. Odd.
The longevity and sillage are quite disappointing though (lasts around 4hrs).
