Underestimated it but then it left me so surprised.

This perfume reminds me of several perfumes but not one of them is too similar to, it's more of a blend of all, Ombre Nomade, Kilian's Old Fashioned and Bvlgari Man in Black.

The Backbone of this perfume is an ambery, liquor-ish, semi-sweet, dry but slightly fresh dna. It hits your nose in a very soft way, it refreshes the air subtly and delivers a vintage, comforting aroma around you.

This for me paints a picture of sitting in rose and jasmine garden at night, the earth is just slightly wet, you're sipping on a fine, semi-bitter wine with undertones of woods and dried fruits like dates and dried plum and you're burning some myrrh for ambience and relaxation.

The notes I detect the most are rose but in a subtle, airy way, not too upfront, I also detect some green thing around there like tea leaves or maybe Cypriol oil, there's also a very ambery myrrh, very detectable all throughout the duration but it really shines on the dry-down, and of course the dried fruit and date notes that for me, evoke more of a liquor-ish type of fruity aroma, like a dry wine. I also feel like it has slight animalic touches here and there that can almost resemble something like a dirty leather or musky aroma OR might be detected by some as a slight BO aroma that can resemble cardamom or cumin very slightly. And finally in the deeper dry-down you can start noticing the tonka bean.

For me, this perfume is made for winter and maybe fall, it feels mostly formal, but it can be semi-casual IMO, it's unisex but has a very slight masculine tendency for me and I can see it as a "date night" perfume for flirtatious purposes but it's really ok for most social occasions IMO. I give it an 8/10 personally.
