Great fragrance development
For me, the best fragrance of the three (as of 12/24: Deserta, Aura, Electri). After spraying it on, it initially reminded me of an oud, I still smelled rum and some honey in the background. Later, wood and a very pleasant smoke emerged.
The fragrance then developed into smoky vanilla, here Electri reminds me of earlier disco evenings with the usual smoke on the dance floor.
The "rum" later becomes a fruity alcohol scent, mixed with incense.

The fragrance development is beautiful and certainly fits well with the theme or name.
Wearability: special occasions or for a date, it's a real niche fragrance. Anyone looking for something special will find it here.

Ingeniously composed
After spraying it on, Hayat smells almost like a glue with a slightly animalic note. It takes about a quarter of an hour for the great woody fragrance to shine through. At the beginning, the perfume is still slightly sweet and fresh (lavender). I also noticed a berry note. However, the scents disappear over the course of the next few hours. A very heavy woody/resinous fragrance develops (like furniture polish) that really tickles the nose. The smell easily lasts 2-3 days on fabric.
Update 10/24
After several tests I can say: starts chemically with fruity grapefruit and some lavender, animalic is always in the background, later strongly woody, earthy, drydown animalic and furniture polish. So far my second best discovered oud fragrance. The fragrance notes are well interwoven and perfectly coordinated. The silage is really room-filling strong, just a few sprays are enough.

Woody with interesting twists
The recently arrived fragrance sample arrived wrapped in black with a personally signed greeting card from the perfumer. The sample container looked equally high quality (made of glass with metal cap and metal sprayer)

The fragrance composition seems to be just as high quality: the beginning is woody and dry, but at first I thought I could hardly smell anything and sprayed several times. After a while, I thought I smelled something earthy and an extremely minimalist sweetness. In the background, something reminded me of ISO-E Super, and a little later the fragrance developed in the direction of sauna wood. At this point, I thought I recognized the scent. Could be that I was reminded of Encre Noir here.
A day later, the sprayed T-shirt smelled very pleasantly of wood with a very slight chocolate twist.

I would like the silage to be a little stronger, and I think the price is a bit steep. I'll probably try the other fragrances too, because after "Deserta" I'm curious to see what other ideas Joschka comes up with.

Strong start, unfortunately no pure vanilla
At first, the scent is clearly alcoholic and very sweet, the aromatic freshness could probably come from cardamom ? Yes - I also thought I could smell orange blossom very slightly in the background. The beginning of the fragrance is actually quite beautiful and clearly feminine. However, the longevity and silage are clearly behind "Supreme Vanilla" from the same manufacturer. The beginning of "Supreme" is not as beautiful, but the vanilla unfolds there in a nice "bold" way and no other scent disturbs it later. If you are looking for a "pure vanilla" fragrance, you will find it in "Supreme", especially as the vanilla can still be smelled strongly on clothing for days. Here, the powdery drydown is reminiscent of overripe sweet fruit, which bothers me a little.

Now I will intensively test "Eclaire" against Vanilla "Supreme", both are my vanilla favorites.

slightly dirty, but pure vanilla
I have been able to test a few vanilla fragrances during my scent search. The first thing I noticed was that I understand vanilla perfume to mean something completely different than many people here.

For me, the vanilla theme should dominate and all other notes should only be a short-lived accessory. Unfortunately, vanilla is often only incidental and it seems to be about the fragrance as a whole.

I have also noticed that the fragrances in the higher price range are quite overloaded and brute. As a result, the vanilla starts mixing with other ingredients and doesn't come out fully.

I would prefer a simple fragrance that can also be used for layering or simply on its own. I find vanilla to be a subtle, feel-good fragrance and I want to be able to wear it that way.

The best candidates so far that come closest to my requirements (as of 12.09.24) were the well-known Eclaire (which is far too expensive at around 100) and Supreme Vanilla. The latter starts strongly alcoholic and with an earthy vanilla note. This could probably also be defined as "ink" - in any case, the fragrance probably has a slightly smoky effect as a result.
Apart from that, there are no other disturbing notes, pure vanilla. In the further course one could also think to smell subliminal papyrus which makes the fragrance very elegant and rather masculine.

Eclaire is better in terms of quality, but there is something sugary about it that is also slightly reminiscent of almonds or marzipan.
I'm curious to see if I can top both fragrances on my fragrance journey.
