Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Opens with a potent elemi resin and a patchouli that, for my nose, is gorgeous and not earthy at all. At 30 minutes, it releases a soft cloud of smoke and a super-authentic smoky vanilla, like the inside of a pod with lots of osmanthus. Over time, it becomes more smoky, almost like a campfire or burnt wood. At first, it might not appeal to you, but underneath lies a wonderful vanilla that, along with the tonka bean and woods, creates an incredible and attractive blend. It’s a night perfume, heavy and seductive to a fault, though it conveys a certain distance. For me, it’s a must, though maybe not for everyone; you have to be an lover of the oriental genre to enjoy it to the fullest.
This is what drives me crazy: a perfect blend of balanced resins with vanilla and patchouli. A solid 10 for scent and performance, no doubt.
Woods, tonka, and oud. It reminds me of Interlude for its strength and spiciness, though here there are fewer spices and more wood. Honestly, I still haven’t managed to fall in love with it. Cheers.
Amouage Material 🪐. Although it’s marketed as feminine, it’s totally unisex, guys, don’t miss out. Resins, incense, vanilla, and tonka bean. It makes me feel amazing. It has a round but bewitching and addictive scent. It’s like being in an oriental house, on a tatami mat with a vanilla and tonka incense stick. Soft instrumental music, dressing up with hope for a date. Amouage scents are usually difficult, but this one is more accessible than its sisters. It’s like taking the citrus out of Ani de Nishane and replacing it with the exit of Grand Soir plus a pinch of incense. It wraps you in a sweet and enigmatic bubble. Cécile Zarokian is my favorite perfumer; she works with vanilla sublimely. It came to my house because I couldn’t live without it; I love it. Scent and longevity: five planets each.
A perfume I recently discovered and fell in love with. It’s warm, spicy, vanilla-infused, and ambered. What I appreciate is the cinnamon scent combined with that typical Amouage touch of incense, the sweetness of amber and vanilla, and as a final touch, the well-balanced oud wood, which makes it an exquisite and high-quality fragrance. Many compare it to Francis Kurkdjian’s Grand Soir, and while they are similar, I find Grand Soir more ambered, heavier, and less versatile.
