The surprise has turned out to be very positive again, after one of my many blind swaps. And all the described ingredients match the result of my sniff test. With one important exception: I smell more than is indicated.
Cinnamon, for example! It appears shortly in the pleasantly tart-fruity top note and intensifies further along the way. Together with saffron and allspice (also "missing" at the top), it forms an almost mystical-spicy foundation and has a wonderfully relaxed depth. There are also resinous woods lurking there, amber, and probably a bit of sandalwood.
For further exciting moments, there is a self-oscillating combination of earthy vetiver and dark vanilla, and last but not least, notes of birch tar can be recognized.
What is most important, at least for my taste: it never becomes too sweet! And it is also not a "gourmand"... the bitter-fruity-spicy notes prevail and last a very long time (especially on the sleeve of a wool sweater), radiating very pleasantly. Not a "beast," but well noticeable.

There are now so many fragrances that lean towards freshness. Some repeat themselves in endless loops of flankers and so-called "dupes." Others make a distinct statement regarding their olfactory properties.
This "Saheb" is a bit of a hybrid; it hasn't reinvented the wheel, but it has added some quite lively, creative extras. For instance, the combination of bright notes of cool citrus fruits with cool (mint) and warm (ginger) spices. Then there are the floral-herbaceous scents of lavender, rosemary, and tea. Although it doesn't shy away from synthetic ambroxan, this actually supports the woody-balsamic notes of the fragrance.
With fine cinnamon in liaison with a touch of incense, it comes across as slightly exotic, but it certainly doesn't flaunt an overly lush and sweet presence. Casual on one side, smart-casual on the other, this is a pleasant scent for various occasions and stands out in a very nice way!
Very successful ;-))

Why is the SO unknown? It could easily be a niche fragrance from "Maissa"! And indeed, one from the desert.. Such a special oriental that makes a strong impression without being a show-off or a braggart. Here, roses are combined with "speculoos spices," violets with ripe peaches, and vanilla with aromatic tea. A hint of caramel in the background - quite subtle, to the delight of my nose, adds a delicate sweetness.
I also think I can detect powdery iris. Deep within the fragrance experience, sprinkled over sandalwood. The perfume lasts a very long time - but it is not overpowering thanks to the moderate yet well-recognizable projection. It is also somewhat related to "Dior Homme Intense (2011) | Dior," but distinct enough not to imitate either "Dior" or "Désir Extrême | Maïssa."
Successful, "niche," really beautiful - and not just for men!

And exactly to my scent taste! And the claim about the moderate longevity and low projection is not quite right either. It behaves similarly to L'Artisan's "Timbuktu | L'Artisan Parfumeur," which can fill entire rooms with a subtle woodiness.
Only with "Wild Green," it's the mint-infused moss that spreads wide circles here. Supported by a not to be underestimated pine resin and vetiver.
Later, grounding patchouli joins in along with a hefty scoop of the greenest, most robust cypress.
But the MOSS is the main actor - it remains distinctly perceivable as a soloist long after the other notes have faded. Sprayed on this morning, it was fully present for a good 4 hours, and the MOSS is still noticeable now! Great ;-))

"Spheres" usually refer to non-material esoteric "bubbles," representing the spiritual, something not really tangible. And as such, I would like to describe the olfactory effect of this fragrance. They glide through clouds and sea - blue, glassy bubbles.
In them, there are spots that appear turquoise. They are translucent and have a herbal quality. Upon closer sniffing, I recognize the light yellow of bergamot, which dips into subtly woody-powdery ambroxan. The impression of clear sea air is also present, carrying accents of "blue"
cedar resin and a hint of vetiver. The scent experience feels quite unconventional. Very herbal, at times slightly "scratchy," like the surface of fine sandpaper. The Eau de Toilette also has a slightly salty effect in the dry-down. Like an echo from intangible "spheres."
Strange, yet somehow fascinating. I have never encountered anything like this in such a form before!
