The opening of Gujarat is an explosion of spices and heat that I haven’t smelled in years; in fact, it made me sneeze on the first applications because my nose refused to take it. After that harsh initial phase, the perfume softens and reveals its woody side, though the spices never disappear—they’re always there. It’s a spicy, dry, woody scent with a sweet, boozy undertone, almost fruity and floral but very muted. You can definitely smell the curry spice blend, a slightly dirty, sweaty cumin (don’t be alarmed), and above all, a generous dose of saffron. Everything is well-blended, and honestly, it’s addictive. In the heart, the woods dominate: oud, sandalwood, and vetiver, though they’re hard to distinguish. They’re dry woods, and if I can say it, somewhat dark. The oud doesn’t smell animalic but rather medicinal. I’d say it’s fairly linear, except for that initial punch, but there are moments where certain nuances stand out while others fade in and out. Overall, it’s a perfume that, in my opinion, is tremendously masculine, with above-average longevity (it lasts forever and projects well). It’s also quite niche—I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. It’s a scent that can get tiring if overused, so it’s perfect for occasional wear. Plus, with just a few milliliters, it lasts forever, making its high price more affordable. A great perfume, definitely recommended for those seeking different scents and new challenges in modern perfumery.
