I understand that civeta used to dominate with a faecal touch, but in this version (black cap) it’s barely noticeable. The cumin is there, but there’s no sweat. It’s soft, versatile, and unisex. On my skin, it smells like spiced and creamy leather, almost gourmand. I was surprised that, besides leather, it seems like chai tea with custard. The notes are: cardamom, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, tonka bean, and a very milky sandalwood. It’s a discreet and comforting leather that, although it clings to the skin, lasts at least 8 hours (impressive for an EDT). I enjoy it immensely.
Horrible, strong, and horrible. It’s not the worst I’ve smelled, but certainly one of the worst.
Together with Montale’s Aoud Cuir d’Arabie and Serge Lutens’ Muscs Koublai Khan, it’s the worst fragrance I’ve tried. It’s repugnant, I’m sorry, but that’s how it smells to me. Eau D’Hermès is a mythical classic, but to my nose it smells like something ‘faecal’. It’s excessively musky. I wouldn’t recommend it at all, although if anyone is curious, there’s nothing written about taste.
