Amazing...
This is awesome, plain and simple. It’s a frankincense perfume through and through that’s supported by patchouli and jasmine flower. The blending is ridiculous. It’s a tad jasmine sambac for the first hour where it turns into patchouli and olibanum that dries down to potting soil and what smells like amber which ends up being incredibly smoky, balmy and woody that lasts for a long time. The dry down smells like resin, wood, a wee bit indolic that’s cleverly hidden. There is nothing feminine about this, trust me. Guys, do not be afraid of this due to jasmine that personally I love. It’s a blend as a whole that creates an intoxicating accord that’s beyond, intoxicating. Gyan is noir, very dark, soapy clean, mysterious, very mysterious. Unusual even but totally intoxicating. The sillage is complex. This is a sillage perfume where you smell all the goodies. Up close it’s so hard to dissect, it’s a blob. From afar it’s awesome.
It’s a sheer perfume, wispy like. You cannot smell this while wearing. Expect unsolicited compliments hours after applying. It’s very deceiving in it’s delivery. I will not say overly strong but Gyan does have a considerable sillage where 2 spritzes provides more than ample performance for a solid 12 hours. There’s a nod in the opening to Chanel’s CoCo Noir minus the fruity notes and after development it seems like a deconstructed Chanel Bleu I kid you not. As a whole to me, this smells strongly of new, fine clothing or a very nice department store. Not linear in the least. It’s a very complex scent that develops beautifully which for some strange reason ends on a Middle Eastern accord that I swear to you smells exactly like oud and amber. I can’t figure out how these 3 notes create this but this entire concoction is without a doubt, Arabian. I firmly believe that there’s secretly an unlisted synthetic agarwood accord because upon first spraying this smells exactly like bandages and the dry down is far too creamy and ambery for only frankincense, patchouli and jasmine.
The perfume behaves how Baccarat Rouge 540 does. It’s almost non-existent on your skin but after many hours and body heat, it wafts this stunning and smoky, somewhat sweet and woody ambery patchouli goodness that smells purple and green but very dark. It’s stellar.
I am a hardcore lover of all 3 of these notes and these in unison here are blended to perfection. My only complaint is that this is not a heavy scent which I think was intentionally done or else this would’ve been a nuke. It’s a niche scent, barely. It’s not worth $325 that’s for sure. Not that this doesn’t smell absolutely amazing, more for the fact that it still feels designer in a sense. This is worth about $150. Super cool perfume for Men, one of the best I’ve experienced in years.
Gyan just oozes ‘I’m sophisticated, back the fuck up’.
