  I love it! It smells like a monastery, meditation, incense, wood, peace, and the balance of Nepalese Buddhism. It brings back memories of my travels in Asia. I see it as more masculine than unisex, ideal for the evening. Very charismatic, yes sir.

  Semi-linear: like this from the start until 3 hours. Dark, woody, slightly spicy, and very green, like dry wood submerged in an algae-filled lake. I get the impression of marked aldehydes from the note combination. It feels monotonous pretty quickly. At 3 hours, there’s a pleasant moment with vetiver and incense, but it’s short-lived and it reverts to being linear. Two hours later, vetiver and incense reappear for a few seconds and vanish. It smells like mango (perhaps due to the lychee), although it shouldn’t have that note. It has similarities to Comme des Garçons 2 Man and Carlo Corinto (green bottle), but this one is greener with a slight incense touch. In my case, the incense wasn’t very noticeable. It’s almost identical to Route du Vetiver by MPeG, but with a powdery and creamy touch that the other lacks, and with only 20% of the strength (RDV is 5 times stronger). I couldn’t stand it (I already reviewed RDV). I don’t feel it’s as meditative, though it recalls monks with incense sticks due to that dry, smoky sensation. Always green, powdery, and creamy. Sillage is medium, longevity is 11 hours (the last 3 hours right on the skin). It worked well in heat, perhaps even better in cold. I recommend it for cool/cold climates, people 30+, formal office use, not for casual outings.

  Complicated opening: very spicy, almost unpleasant due to the pepper. Then it shifts: incense appears with vetiver, tea, and iris. In the heart, those notes mixed with the spices are more appealing; the vetiver stands out, fresh and energetic. Everything is balanced, nothing clashes. Later, iris takes over from vetiver; it’s not metallic or earthy, but well-rendered. The dry down features papyrus (green), leather, and iris, with vetiver barely noticeable. Something strange: sometimes it’s hard to smell, it seems to fade quickly, but that’s not the case. There are bursts of scent that remind you it’s there. Projection is average, but it smells from time to time. The most amazing part: the next day, the room smelled incredible hours later. It leans masculine, though the finish is feminine with the iris. I recommend it for temperate or hot climates. I’m still not sure if I liked it; the opening was off-putting, but the heart and dry down are addictive. I want to try it more to decide. The good thing is that it’s not expensive.

  A truly exotic and slightly unusual fragrance. The opening is green and spicy; lychee mixed with spices, tea, and papyrus creates an acidic, spicy, and potent effect that can be overwhelming, like the spices in an exotic meal. That green freshness persists and can get tiring. Then the woods come in, dense and consistent, adding body and a dry, cabin-like feel thanks to cedar and vetiver. Papyrus lingers, while iris adds a warm breeze that blends with the smoke of incense, evoking the steam of a kitchen. Leather adds a subtle detail. The longevity is excellent, and the sillage pulses out. It’s original and striking, but not for daily wear; I’d use it to enjoy or on specific days because it can become fatiguing. Rating: 5.

  Zongkha by L’Artisan is a woody, green, and floral blend. It starts with a brief alcoholic sharpness that quickly gives way to a floral bouquet with green notes and a very short incense touch (about 5 minutes). Then it becomes creamier, reminiscent of hand lotion, while the green notes grow to create an almost Mediterranean herbal scent. I think it’s ideal for daytime, though it could work for a warm evening. It’s pleasant and long-lasting, fits well as unisex, although honestly, I don’t see myself repurchasing it. Thanks to @arp for sharing it with me.
