Powerhouse Oud (atleast the opening)
Smelling Oud Assam feels like digging your nose in some real middle eastern pure oud oil. It’s one of the most purest, pungent & opulent oud I have smelled along with deadofnight from Strange Love. ⁣

⭕️ Oud Assam has Indian oud which is a powerhouse. It opens with a blast of oud along with some some citruses nuances. The opening is definitely challenging (if you are not into oud) but soon it becomes earthy and soft and its really heavenly. The dry down is where it really shines for me. ⁣

There is a lot of muskiness once you get past few hours in the fragrance. There is slight sweetness wrapped around incense notes very similar to vanilla/ tonka that balances the fragrance once the citruses from the opening mellow down. ⁣

⭕️ Oud vetiver and tonka are definitely are the star of Oud Assam in the best possible blend you can think of. This is one fragrance that’s best worn on the skin and its where it shines (unlike some other that do very well on clothes). ⁣

Oud Assam to me is a bold and beastly fragrance. If you want to up your game with Oud, I can definitely recommend you to get yourself a sample. It’s warm, captivating and elegant. Lasts forever and definitely turns heads. However, like I said, not for everyone so definitely sample before!⁣

⭕️ Overall, Oud Assam is growing on me with every single spray I put on and I can’t wait to wear the heck out of it in coming days. If you like real oud you will like the opening of the fragrance and if you like smelling great, the dry down would just do the job! ⁣

One of a kind leather!
Libertine is a beautiful take on Rose in fragrances and also use of leather.

It's a buttery silky rose dipped in cognac and sprinkled with beeswax and leather. That's the best way to describe this scent.

⭕️ It's an aromatic, slightly (only tad bit) dirty or rather animalic fragrance that really stands out to your olfactory senses. It's sweet, it's boozy and slightly spicy at the same time.

It opens up with a blast of fruity bitter orange along with boozy rose. It definitely catches your attention. I find the opening quiet bold and unapologetic.

⭕️ There are sweet honey like nuances in the fragrance that is complimented by leather, hints of cumin and a lot of saffron. 20 mins into the fragrance and it becomes this rich na dense concoction that is hard not to keep smelling. It dries down to a sweet woody feel that's very pleasant.

Libertine is one bold scent as I mentioned above and can imagine not everyone liking it but it's definitely worth giving a shot.

"Signature" Scent Worthy!
Such a beautiful in-offensive bright woody aromatic fougere that it's hard not to love. It's a fragrance that you can't really hate. A fragrance that smells familiar yet refreshing to the olfactive pallet at the same time. Opening so beautiful that you want to smell it again and again.

⭕️ I am new to fougere and I am very picky when it comes to fragrances that have lavender as a note listed on this. However, when I first smelled it I realized lavender could be done in a way I would really enjoy.

There is a classic/ evergreen feel to this fragrance. Signature smells like it's well blended and quiet leaning on a masculine side (in my opinion). However, any woman can also rock this one.

⭕️ The fragrance is spicy and slight zingy however there is also an underlying sweetness to it. There are creamy aspects to the scent 30 mins after you spray it. It starts with quiet "soapy" lavender style openings and ends with the most beautiful woody and creamy dry down that I definitely love more than the opening. It also had oud in the heart that gives the fragrance depth and gives it a masculine touch....

Drydown is quiet balsamic amber like with creaminess of sandalwood.

⭕️ An overall beautiful blend that you can wear all year round and is a mix of modern and classic, fresh and woody, sweet and spicy. Overall, a delight to wear. If you like the sound of it I would definitely encourage you to sample it.

Coffee with Prin's DNA
Opens up with a photorealistic roasted coffee mixed with the earthiness of patchouli and leather up top. The leather is smells quite vintage and warm to me. That leather is like when you enter those classic barber shows with old leather chairs or in some vintage hotel lobbies. Something that really compliments the fragrance and adds a lot of depth & character to the scent.

⭕️ Along with that there are sweet & boozy nuances of cacao along with cherry note and it brings such a beautiful balance to the fragrance. The coffee in the fragrance feels damp with kind a tincture nuance. I do get rose in the mid but fades away quite fast. What stays is the creamy and silky beeswax.

The dry down is sweet and woody to my nose more like vanilla and tonka bean. Quite addictive and comforting.

Overall, if you like coffee, id definitely recommend you to sample it.

A beautiful green scent with a unique touch for palm tree note.
A beautiful unique green smokey silky fragrance with a unique note of palm note. ⁣

I loved as soon as I first sprayed it on and since then this really has been my happy scent. ⁣

It’s vibrant and elegant. It smells like a lush green forest with that unique touch. 02 is perfect for warmer weather and really can’t wait to wear it more in the coming weeks. ⁣
