I like to consider the relationship between me and this fragrance (She) as a courting. At the beginning I tried to approach her but immediately made things clear, saying bout the difference from the others and the High probability to be misunderstood, too many shades she said...

I have to confess I fell in the trap too; the whole thing I was able to detect was fennel. I was seriously considering to rise up the White flag.
But you know; Could you ever give up like this, without giving yourself the opportunity to have another chat to fully understand?

Luckily things starded going well appointment by appointment, being
able to discover new pieces of her everytime; once the star anise, labdanum the other One, turmenic and going forward til the last time, when I discovered her beautiful Woody base, never oppressive, slightly sophisticate, that could actually make you think to a Japanese Kodo cerenony, as stated by the house.

With all the Pieces of the puzzle, all I can say, hoping my metaphors weren't forced, Is that we have there and Amazing fragrance, spicey Just right at the start, with a Little sweetey contour, maybe given by a punch of labdanum (my personal opinion) and a soft woodyness in the background due to the oud, remaining that way throughout the drydown.

There was a lot of curiosity around this house since a lot of time and someone told the the guy behind this project had everything going for It. So when I had the opportunity to try something didn't let me Say twice.

Reading the notes' list someone could be scared by the presence of Hindi oud and Animalics, by commonplace really hard to deal with, but in this case you have no idea how wrong you are.

The opening of this scent Is spicey, sweet, with a light animalic contour (non at all umbearable), enriched in the following 15 minutes by an awesome chocolate feel.
All of this tends to disappear in the following hours, with the drydown which becomes an ode to leather, so elegant, without edges, which will last until you won't sniff nothing more.

I Imagine this fragrance exuding the glamour of 60s/70s, at the height of the hippie movement, with their immoderate Freedom, their dress code, their excesses...

This oil has Lots of flowers detectable, with a slight sweet contour (due maybe to the Davana, which can give sweet/fruity vibes at due concentrations), waxy (later i saw beeswax Absolute amont notes' list), vaguely spicy.
The longevity Is so good, with a moderate sillage

Beautiful vintage inspired chypre attar with a palatable fruity/floral opening given by the combination of various floral notes (mainly I perceive rose and osmanthus). After half and an hour circa, the composition settles on a gently powdery iris adorned by an elegant frame of never overwhelming animalics (a mix of ambergris, muskrat and civet)

As soon as you wear it, an animalic profile given by the oud can be percieved for a few minutes, then to be softened by a "salty", even lightly sweet touch given by the olibanum (frankincense), which after a few hours will disappear to highlight a sandal oud combo with the last one that will assume a woody and elegant profile, in order to support the first one
