The name fits like a glove. It’s a mix of creamy, enveloping, and airy spices, with that rare contrast of being warm and fresh at the same time. Smells like rich pepper and cardamom, with an amber base and a barely-there hint of coffee that adds depth. From afar, it feels like those trapped spices are flying through the air with a fresh breeze. Unlike others, it doesn’t smell like oud or patchouli; it’s oriental but with a Western soul. If you’re into it, it could be a total click. The best part is that it lasts forever and floats without being overwhelming. The bottle is a shame, especially that cap and that ‘bee’s nest’ that looks like it’s from a Chinese market; at €180 it’s a pity, but you can find it for half the price on the gray market. Anyway, I loved it: sensual, warm, and unique, very feminine on a woman’s skin and very masculine on a man’s.
A very Oud-y Oud… Right out of the bottle, it reminds me of the first version of M7, with that typical acrid and unpleasant oud smell. After a few minutes, that note disappears, leaving smoky, balsamic, and spicy woods, very 2000s style but with more complexity. The first time, I had instant rejection, but the more I smelled it, the more I liked it. I tried it again another day and ended up buying it. It deserves to be niche for its originality in a market saturated with oud. It’s moderate, which is a relief because otherwise, it would be overwhelming. Give it a few chances; Guerlain has done a cult-worthy job.
What a delicious and bright thing. It’s enchanting for winter: burnt sandalwood, patchouli, and pepper. Out of all the Absolues d’Allegories, this one with exquisite spices and Rose Amira is the one I picked up. Rich.
It’s an exquisite treat. You have to wait a couple of minutes for it to shine in all its glory. It’s woody, spicy, with a touch between powdery and creamy. Nothing aggressive, more warm and pleasant. Even though they don’t list it in the official pyramid, I sense a very faint hint of incense and broom resin among the woods that gives it special character. You feel wrapped in a tender whisper. The longevity is very good and it’s totally unisex. It’s a beautiful perfume. Please, never discontinue it.
