after 48 hours of sniffing the paper strip again:
One of my new favorite fragrances.
I shared it with a couple of friends along with other samples for testing: Atkinsons was their favorite.
The scent notes of suede, oud, and sandalwood are distinctly noticeable and remain so. The bergamot had crumbled from the start and isn't necessary. Earl Grey tea: can be drunk, but I haven't smelled it.
Sprayed on a paper strip 48 hours ago, and today the scent is still noticeable. And it is delicious!

Expensive is not always good
Almond, blackcurrant liqueur, vanilla, light tobacco are among the listed fragrance notes that I had hoped for.
But what was left for my nose?
Jasmine, magnolia, a little patchouli.
And unfortunately only after 1 to 2 hours.
Before that, a slightly piercing, musty brew of indefinable ingredients.
This is just my opinion and may be due to my olfactory abilities, but:
as another member wrote: "And somehow life is way too short for fragrances that you have to rationalize."
Full agreement. What a shame.
