Riviera drive in your convertible car
I have praised this scent together with the much fruitier and potent Acqua Viva for being the best easy-to-reach lemon peel summer scent ever. In itself I also think it's one of the most brilliant perfumes created because of the shocking citrus simplicity that leaves you wanting for more. While AV is invigorating in the way that you feel like wearing a luxury body product all day long, EDH has a genius citrus piece in the base tied with the cypress that just lingers for an "outdoor" sensation and will uplift your mood, complementing your journeys without overpowering naturally occurring smells. Despite the similar notes, in comparison to higher concentration Sicilian lemon perfumes, it's the intentional lower concentration of EDH that plays a big part in making it work! A milestone to own regardless of your likings (unless it discomforts you).

Mammoth Leather
This has a very bold and full leather profile, neither too animalic or fecal, neither too fresh and conventional, surely it has a modern blend to it which makes it really special. I don't like drawing comparisons because people might diminish one or the other subject but if you enjoy one of those deeper, heavier Electimuss fragrances like Black Caviar, Capua (I don't remember too specifically) you'll love this one. While these are very constructed, "Neandertal Dark" manages to convey a striking and decryptable smell right off the bat in the first sniff despite the long note listing. In my opinion it is a solid fragrance that has an intermediate sourness to it, the only aspect I didn't like.
To me the note listing should put more emphasis on (in decreasing order of concentration) : labdanum, violet, leather, cypress, tobacco, oud, cashmeran, tomato leaf.

Pleasant memories
Sudestada brings me the memories of a fragrance family that I've enjoyed throughout the years: the family of Mythical Woods (Profumi del Forte), Black Afgano (Nasomatto), Mina & Amante (Note di Profumum) and a ton of others.
It's extremely woody heavy and what Sudestada pulls off nicely is the better balance on the brighter side of the range: a nuance of citrus fruit or citrus flower further in the base (a paradox in itself). I get a facet of unclean licorice too (or mabe it's the tobacco) that ties the cedar-sandal wood profile I've been loving for a long time.
Although you might misunderstand this to be the usual "honey-musk" that pretends to be an oud fragrance (as other literally state), with Sudestada you actually get what you'd expect from those but more successfully. It's still "open" enough to be worn during summer evenings more easily than the aformentioned ones. I like wearing this genre during summer evenings because of the cocoa-tonka effect you can bring out but I've worn these much more during winter.

Wind in the orchard and beating drums
A favorite of mine! Opens with a wal-nutty peach and a fig accord sitting on a base of patchouly, vetiver and moss (not a green or mineral moss). I'm sure there's an accord of rose tied with something leathery-saffronic in the heart that unifies the various notes here. A great fragrance that I wore happily last summer and that I keep wearing as a night scent. Here you will find everything for your senses: from the explosion of fruits to the woody and nutty drydown. I must say the very late drydown has something sour and ammonic but it's only apparent if you stick your nose upclose once it has become barely a skin scent. Great unisex appeal, suited for work and leisure time and a great gifting / blind-buy product.

Daily, mellow woody fragrance
Tam Dao is about a cedarwood note lasting for the whole fragrance, it has an undertone of myrtle which gives it brightness without any camphorous side. The type of cedarwood note resembles virginian cedarwood (pencil sharpening waste) and has a green facet of cypress too. I think the sandalwood is actually minimal and for me the drydown is powdery although rounded too. In some ways it dries down similarly to how Jasmagonda 23.1 by PG does.
