This is my new signature scent for winter. It opens with a beautiful blue ink accord which is absolutely addictive, and I unfortunately wish it lasted longer, but it only hangs around the first few minutes or so. It then morphs gracefully into the calm, cool, minerally iris that is kept from getting too carrot-y or earthy by the gentle vanilla, which feels again calm and enveloping, not sweet and cloying. The fragrance doesn't go anywhere else after that, as it's quite a linear scent, but it doesn't have to. I cant stop smelling my arm! Wish they made this in an extrait or elixir as the longevity isn't the best, but I'm so in love, I will keep buying this.

Phew, this is an interesting one. It's a very complex fragrance, and by far the most expensive one in my collection, though I don't really know if it was worth the high cost for me. The bottle is quite ugly and cheap looking actually. It starts out with a strong saffron note, and the cannabis is already hanging out in the background, waiting for it's turn to shine. You then get a very sweet kind of weedy scent, not skunky, probably from the dates. It dries down to your typical oud-y woody middle-eastern type fragrance. Definitely a more challenging scent that you have to be in the mood for.
