Essential oil

This is probably one of those perfumes that drive people crazy because of how different they're perceived. I've seen a lot of comments mentioning suffocating amber, and as someone sensitive to certain amber/ambergris/ambroxan components, I was cautious about this one. Thankfully, the feared ambro-migraine didn't occur because I couldn't smell any.

The description of a fragrance promises us a rich, complex scent. And it is indeed quite intense and long-lasting, no disappointment here. Sadly, I didn't get any complexity whatsoever, the scent was super linear, staying exactly the same throughout the day. And the worst thing - I couldn't get any of the promised notes. Instead, I got a strong scent of essential oils, tea tree oil to be exact. Maybe some hint of eucalyptus oil on top, but that's it.

I can not exactly explain this phenomenon, as usually I'm able to discern at least some of the listed notes. The scent overall isn't exactly unpleasant, but tea trea oil is way cheaper if I ever fancy smelling like it.
