Simple but impressive
My entry into the world of niche perfumes!
The relationship between me and this fragrance got off to a bumpy start but ultimately led me into the broad field of fragrances.
I became aware of this fragrance through an ad, and through reviews and introductions, I was almost ready to blindly buy it. Thank goodness I didn't. I was in Paris for a short vacation and discovered this fragrance in a perfumery. Excited as I was, I sprayed it on a test strip and couldn't believe it. I really disliked it. This was, of course, due to my completely inexperienced nose. Disappointed, I went out and then tried two other fragrances. These were "Contes du Levant | L'Artisan Parfumeur" and "Mûre et Musc Extrême | L'Artisan Parfumeur". These are of course more pleasing straight away.
How were we led to each other? Back in our familiar home country, we went on a day trip to Stuttgart, where I discovered it again. I thought to myself, it can't be, the notes read so beautifully, and before I knew it, I had him on my skin. But this time it was a completely different experience. It was exactly as I had wished or imagined it would be, so after testing it on my skin for about 3 hours, it went straight into my collection.
I explain the whole thing by the fact that this fragrance is very overwhelming for noses that have no contact with it due to the white oud.
But now to my fragrance experience. It is a special raspberry fragrance, which clearly sets the tone. However, the fragrance is also accompanied by a spicy note, which is caused by the cardamom in the top note and the white oud as the fragrance progresses. Of course, this is a synthetic ingredient and cannot be compared with normal oud. However, for me, this fragrance is the perfect scent for spring, as it simply puts you in a good mood.
In conclusion, I can only say that this is one of my absolute favorites and I am glad to have dared to try it again. It also doesn't have a complicated DNA, but is quickly understood and convincing. H/S are kept perfect in my opinion, as otherwise it becomes too overpowering with the pungent note described.

Secrets of the palace
Will "The Palace | Jazeel" live up to its name?
I would like to take a closer look at this question. What do you expect from this name or what image comes to mind? An image of white marble with golden elements immediately comes to mind. A sumptuously furnished hall that is almost unmanageable and simply overwhelming.
Does the fragrance match this image?
In my humble opinion, definitely. The opening is very fresh and citrusy, and the orange blossom really comes into its own for me. The bay leaf as well as the cardamom add a nice spiciness.
The floral notes then unfold in the heart of the fragrance, and the marshmallow note is also perceptible through a certain sweetness. However, these give way to the complex base of the fragrance after a short time. Of these, the oud is the strongest, but the cinnamon can also be smelled. However, the cinnamon is not Christmassy or sweet, but provides a nice change to the otherwise very heavy base.
In summary, it can be said that this fragrance really lives up to its name. It smells extremely high-quality and the overall picture simply fits. From the packaging to the bottle to the fragrance, it simply makes a luxurious impression.
H/S is also not from bad parents. It is easily noticeable throughout the day, but not obtrusive. A beautiful fragrance to enjoy.

On the trail of a medieval battle
I'll start this review with a situation you should put yourself in to better understand the progression of the fragrance:
We are in the Middle Ages, a time associated with great battles and castles. The image of a knight in shining armor with a sword immediately pops into my head. This is where I would like to begin my journey through this fragrance:
The top note describes the silence that prevails when two armies face each other. Resinous notes emerge, fresh from the surrounding coniferous forests. These are immediately joined by mineral notes that represent the stony terrain. The flowers are only a small part of the whole picture; these are located on the grassy landscape between the warriors.
The battle cry sounds. Everyone rushes into battle, swords clash and the shouting of the knights can be heard. There is also a waft of smoke over the battlefield, represented by the incense. The blood flows in streams across the land and spreads a metallic smell. The scent lingers for a long time.
After the battle, the valley becomes quiet. Woody notes take over. The fragrance comes to a gentle end. What remains, however, are the impressions of massive violence and brutality, which are not soon forgotten.
My personal impression:
I was looking for an incense fragrance that was not at all similar to the typical church incense. So I tried out a few until I finally landed on this one. It immediately stood out from the others and won me over with its metallic notes and resins, which won me over very quickly.
For those looking for an exceptional incense fragrance, this is certainly a good candidate.
