It’s a fragrance with its own vibe, very oriental. The closest match I have is Armaf’s Feroce, which pays homage to Parfums de Marly’s Haltane (and that one resembles Oud for Greatness). A YouTuber said it smells like vanilla, but actually, the Haba Tonka is what gives that sweet base. The oud is very present, like it’s burning, alongside earthy notes, spices, and patchouli; the rest of the notes fade into the background. I liked it, even if most people see it as a ‘don’ fragrance. I think whoever wears it well is someone young with the right look, like a lumberjack (beard/flannel) or a biker, who’ll make it fit perfectly.
It’s a unique fragrance with a strong oriental vibe. The closest thing I have is Armaf’s Feroce, inspired by Parfums de Marly’s Haltane (which itself reminds me of Oud for Greatness). A YouTuber mentioned it smells like vanilla, but actually, it’s the Haba Tonka that provides that sweet base. The smoky oud wood is very prominent, along with earthy notes, spices, and patchouli that dominate the rest. I liked it, though for most people, this will be a ‘don’ fragrance. I think someone young with the right look, like a lumberjack (beard/flannel shirt) or a biker, could pull it off really well.
Exquisite, pure elegance; in my view, it’s more masculine than feminine. The quality-to-price ratio is great. As soon as I can, I’ll add it to my collection. Cheers.
