This scent has all one scent loyal to his idea has. Koublai Khan riding his horse to the dawn of China, in a Shakespearean novel. A reference for himself, briliant mind of Christopher Sheldrake tamed the naughtiness of musk and wrapped in a blanket of powdery almost creamy hug of rose and amber, underneath some spices. With not going to any of those teritorries. One thing i firmly believe if out there is category of post coital fragrances like Bal a Versailles, Salome, Oudh Infini, this one is on a male side. Just imagine Koublai the great ruler of Mongolian Empire but a wise man, a poet.

You can’t miss with Corticchiato. He is just a pure clasiccist, at first i was struck with is this animalic as i imagined. I was surprised how terribly good this form of musk was disguised in purely vintage non sweet of floral elements . Corticchiato is not evocative like typical iconoclastic perfumers or any element of industry that sells today . Does not care for false image, rather to form and beauty of materials.
To sum it up it is muskiest chypre it can be recognized in his line, like you mixed Dans Tes Bras musk heaviness with florals of some naughty chypre like Salome plus some resinous deep base far from any sweet element as nowadays orientals.
A feeling more than a descriptive image, to share in a moment of intimacy

Guerlain Lupin Voyou gives to the dna of fragrances, nothing new. Its dna is simbol of many nice citrus sandalwood out there but so much sophisticated and gentler than mos of them. Opens with almost sweet citruses with hint of artemisia going to the heart of wooden rose and soft spices. The drydown is absolutely beautiful and if it wasnt note fetishers there absolutely wouldnt be bad call for this gent. The sandalwood done as it should be. Smooth, sexy, with hint of patchouli and benzoin. Subtle bit refined gentleman that doesnt need recognition, he stays true to himself
