Rajesh –
A very Oud centered Oriental chypre this is clearly a perfume only for the most initiated since it has distinct animalic and gourmand notes with only slight florals added to a strong base of Laotian Oud. The perfume opens briefly with notes of orange, lime, cardamom and amber before proceeding to a brief heart of a prominent castoreum surrounded by aromatic notes of pepper, cinnamon, tonka bean, rose, jasmine, nutmeg, cloves and myrrh. The perfume quickly settles into its dense base of real strong Cambodian Oud, surrounded by slight hints of tolu balsam, vanilla, labdanum, sandalwood, opoponax, lotus and cedar. The perfume is nicely blended, leans masculine and has a pronounced sillage, projection and longevity.
