It started with an opening that caught me off guard—somewhat off-key, wet, and confusing—but then came the dry-down, which is pure magic: it turns sweet like soft taffy, though it remains woody. The longevity is brutal; I applied it at 6 PM and could still smell it right on my skin at 11 AM the next day.

This is a beast… I’ve tried all the Aedes fragrances, and this one alongside Iris Nazarena were my favorites: they smell subtle but have otherworldly strength. If not worn well, they can be overwhelming, but they’re incredible. Even at $200 each, it’s a steep price, even for a perfume addict. Notes of spicy wood, hot cinnamon, and a scent of freshly waxed furniture, green sweat, antique and musty wood; it smells like history and centuries. It’s timeless, precious, and balanced thanks to the sweet patchouli. Although it seems more masculine, the wood is so well-crafted that it’s not overpowering, and a bold woman can wear it without fear of smelling something non-sweet, non-fruity, or floral. It’s not fresh or youthful; it’s a winter scent that reminded me of the beauty of Femenite du bois, minus the plum drama that saves it from being a men’s perfume made for women. Six perfect hours on skin, three compliments in the first few hours, and I have a 5ml decant that I treasure as a wonderful gift.
