I need to start saying that I absolutely disagree with the current Scent rating (6.8) is by far a superior perfume. First of all, is refreshing, in the opening a zesty orange with an oud support (of course we know that it is not oud, Montale uses two "oud" the dark animal one, and the heavy wood support, in this case we have this second case), it will add in some minutes to a strong saffron, and a little bit mild and a little bit earthy patchouli.

So we have and oudrangish smell in all layers, plus saffron in the heart and patchouli in the base, this one is in the range of quality of the good Montales, superb sillage and longevity, not beast mode, but quite high.

People will like it, it's perfect for almost every occasion and for every season except hot summers.

It's the kind of smell that a high-end clothing store use to smellto, a little over Zara's quality, something like Massimo Dutti, it's modern, elegant, synthetic without being too much, fresh and very generic. It could be the equivalent of some of Zara's, neither the best nor the worst, also the ones produced by Mango, the smell is basically grapefruit not excessively bright with the typical synthetic wood used as a support.

It could not be a big pass, but there are others much better in that range such as El Ganso, or Pedro de Hierro itself (the green one) who brings the green liquid that is much higher.

Moderate to low duration and projection.

Not that it's a bad one, the quality is good enought, it has a frankincense base and then spices and a lot of pepper on top.

The combination gives a feeling of, well, you can smell it but it doesn't give me anything new, I wouldn't wear it, it resembles more the kind of smell of a spicy air freshener than a perfume.

History in drops IV Renaissance, a perfume of jasmine, ylang-ylang, hyacinth and Sandalwood, it's kind of linear most of the time but with some variations, sometimes the hyacinth shows up a little more, giving it a fresh nuance of cut green stem, other times, jasmine is the absolute protagonist, with a pinch of fresh rose, all on that pleasant creamy base of ylang-ylang and the class that sandalwood always provides.

In my opinion it leans to the feminine side, but with the touch of cedar, and the creamy ylang-ylang it could be a little unisex as well.

No complains about performance, opening projection 2 meters, and lasts with a strong sillage 2/3 hours, duration 10h+.

In short, a floral, elegant, creamy, quality and great performance perfume, I would recommend trying it first before buying full bottle because I find it a little bit expensive.

Salida a algas, natural, como si fuera muy verde, como cortándolas, quizás demasiado. Se intuye algo de mirto por detrás, aunque no es un actor principal como en Acqua di sale.

El golpe inicial se calma rápido y se suma el ámbar gris que viene detrás, no creo que sea natural, pero tampoco es ambroxan, tiene un toque oscuro, yo la veo en un punto intermedio entre Acqua di sale y Megamare.

El olor es evocador, no es de tipo usable como perfume como AdiSale o Sel Marin, más bien tipo pintar un paisaje olfativo como Megamare, mientras que esta me transportaba a un pueblo de la costa, Zeitgesist es como un paseo por la playa un día nublado saturado de algas, no en el mal sentido, pero es la menos me ha gustado de las 4, aun así nada terrible, simplemente que a mí no me ha cautivado.

De salida va razonablemente bien de potencia, pero cae rápido , muy rápido, llegando a las dos horas empieza a perder la gracia, y queda una mezcla deconstruida con un algas ya no perfiladas, un poco de ámbar gris, y un fondo de almizcle. Luego este fondo sí se queda varias horas más en la piel.
