This fragrance is inspired by the very first perfume compositions that emerged in Ancient Egypt. Its rich oriental scent starts with a lighter and fresher note of lavender, enhanced by the refined accent of saffron and complemented by the subtle spice of nutmeg. At its heart, an intense oud accord unfolds, leading into a warm and sensual trail of patchouli and musk.
So, it's a bit monotonous, that's true. Yes, maybe it's a "beginner's niche" (as if that's something bad). I don't care if it's real oud (the manufacturer claims it is) or synthetic (heard a lot of opinions like that). Whether it's a combination of both, one thing is important: either you like it or you don't. I liked the perfume. Does it justify its price? I think so. Let's leave that question for discussions. Is it versatile? No. It's not for everyday wear. However, it's so beautiful.
It warms, envelops, it's long-lasting, and has a trail. I can sense all the notes that were announced. Sweet-nutty, like dry oud (or simply woody-leathery accord), accentuated with lavender, spices, and a note of "burnt sugar". And saffron is not excessive here, it doesn't create the "smoky room" effect, like in bakhoor or Arabian oud. Unisex, maybe leaning a bit towards the masculine side, but not critically. It's truly a cool perfume. The luxurious bottle corresponds to its content.
Thank you for the fast delivery. The fragrance is long-lasting and 100% original. Thank you, makeup.
This product is remarkable, as it effortlessly combines a pleasant aroma with a long-lasting trail.
Great scent! Longevity and sillage are top-notch.
I have been waiting and searching for this product for a very long time. And then, oh miracle, it's in stock. And it's even the original version. The quality of the packaging, the weight of the bottle, the weight of the cap, everything is original. The scent is unbelievably amazing. For me, it's the masculine version of Baccarat Rouge 540. Heavier, darker, more mystical. A couple of sprays and it doesn't fade from my skin even after two showers. The sillage is fantastic. Thank you, makeup.
