This is how you can imagine the fragrance. Smoke wherever possible, and the little bit that lingers at the end smells musty, old, badly placed oud... Mothballed lamb notes in a 100-year-old wooden cupboard. Patchouli drone does its job.
How "sweet" comes in at number 3 in the list of associations is a complete mystery to me.

Head/heart/base is also a bit of a mishmash at this point. Don't get me wrong, I've smelled worse, but beautiful is different. The only thing you have to say is that the durability is quite good, I've rubbed water, soap and disinfectant over it 3 times, but the mock holds. I just sprayed something else on the back of my hand to soften it a bit. Oh dear ...

For me, the best fragrance ever.
It's a feast for the eyes to look at, really simple and elegant clakon design. The fragrance is incomparable and long lasting. Hard to describe as I am not yet versed in what the notes are, but would say the woody note is prominent and the bergamot in the forefront.

The day when it was discontinued counts as one of the blackest in perfume history for me.
Take my firstborn if it is reintroduced for this! ;-)

I am unfortunately not a fan of the fragrance.

Of course, everyone should use the fragrance if he likes it, but mine is not and I think it's great that you can make that known here. This should only serve people interested in buying to make a decision.

Directs itself vorallem to people who like it direction ledrig / oriental.


First positive: the durability is extreme, my shirt smelled the next morning still strong, although I had sprayed it the night before.
Design of the flacon is insofar in order. Good grip, no danger of slipping out of the hand.

Negative: The fragrance itself. As already described by others, I can not perceive some advertised notes. For me, it is very reminiscent of a fragrance for people of advanced age. It goes from zero to a hundred directly into the nose. No curve rise where you could still perceive something, you get hit with a hammer out of nowhere - and this one just doesn't smell good. Very flat in perception, I personally lack the "peaks" that make it interesting.
Scented candles, oriental oils and old leather. Everything seems very stuffy and I go with a full nose of it the airways to.
Would rather call this a fragrance for older people.

Leather is definitely there, the other what resonates there I just can not exactly describe. In the top notes I find the mandarin very gone under.

For me, a clear case of a matter of taste. But in my opinion, not a free pass for a blind purchase.
