This had got be one of the most intensely vetiver and oud combos I have ever come across. The intensity of the two mixed with cumin makes for a very interesting and ultimately unique experience. At times there is an almost industrial/machinery type of vibe coming from it which I find intriguing...it reminds of sweaty aircraft mechanics in the middle of an ultra dry desert! Fascinating! Given this, it most certainly isn't going to be a fragrance for everyone and it really strikes me as one that's a bit to specific for everyday wear. However, dry vetiver lovers, this might certainly pique your interest due simply to the intensity of the vetiver note. Frankly, it doesn't get much drier than this.

To state it simply, I declare - I adore this!

Green (but not too green) aldehydes and black locust....did I mention black locust???? Oh yes indeed, one of my favourite flowers of spring!!! It reminds me of the most wonderful spring day with the scent of newly opened magnolia and black locust blossoms heavy in the breeze of the fresh spring air. In other words, HEAVEN for this guy!! The mids continue this, but it grows even more floral, but not overly done, just a little sweeter - which is PERFECT. Then the drydown...very nice use of an understated, but certainly discernible civet (another one of my favourites)!!!! Longevity is excellent, especially when sprayed on fabric along with the pulse points. Bliss, I tell you. I can not recommend this beauty highly enough.
