It’s a complex fragrance! The first time I tried it in winter, the cold made it evaporate from my skin so fast I didn’t have time to analyze it. In spring, I finally understood: it’s a spicy opening, slightly intoxicating with a mentholated twist, like it carries a liquor note it doesn’t actually have. Seconds later, the oud emerges—woody yet wearable—followed by frankincense and then leather. The peach and caramel add a sweetness (without being sweet at all) and a playful vibe that keeps it from being harsh or irredeemably masculine, though I still see it more on a man. As it dries down, I still catch that fruity liquor note with a smoky haze from the frankincense; paired with the oud and leather, it’s worlds away from church incense, evoking a night out, drinks, and cigarettes—the lingering scent on someone who’s been near a smoker. I’m not crazy about that smell, but it intrigues me, it evokes danger… and most of the time, danger is tempting.
Good vibes, unisex but with a slightly feminine touch. The opening is spicy with saffron and pink pepper, paired with oud and peach. Soon, leather kicks in with a caramelized base. The oud leans more toward wood than animalic, with a subtle ‘fecal’ note but nothing over the top. The saffron settles and then stays fairly linear. It doesn’t evolve in distinct phases, but it’s full of nuances; if you’re after the leather or the peach, those notes shine through. It’s a crisp perfume where each ingredient stands out clearly. Performance is good—very prominent in the first few hours with decent longevity. I wear it in any weather except extreme heat, works great for day or night. I like it, but the peach smells a bit too feminine for my taste and holds me back a bit. The ingredients are high quality and it’s very well made, though the high price isn’t as appealing anymore.
Decent perfume, unisex but with a feminine edge. Opens very spicy with saffron and pink pepper, mixed with oud and peach. Soon, leather emerges with a caramelized dry-down. The oud is more woody than animalic, though it has a slight scratchy ‘fecal’ nuance without being exaggerated. The saffron settles and then becomes linear. It doesn’t progress through clear stages, but it’s rich in subtleties; if you’re looking for the leather or the peach, those notes come through. It’s a sharp fragrance where the ingredients are easily distinguishable. Longevity and performance are good, especially in the first few hours. I wear it in any climate except extreme heat, suits both day and night. I enjoyed it, but the peach smells a bit too feminine to me. The ingredients are top-notch and it’s very well crafted, although the steep price doesn’t attract me as much.
