Jerry Drake sample: It’s labelled as a sweet oriental and gourmand, but I see it differently. It is oriental, yes, but not on the sweet side, rather on its rough character, with a wild sandalwood and a raw, resinous, leathery myrrh. The creator said he made it thinking of his Bengal cat Mimi, trying to avoid drama; but what irony! It comes out wild and passionate, more like the Mimi from ‘La Bohème’ than his kitten. And that’s lucky for me, because it’s a fierce oriental with an animal oud touch (even if not listed) that is noticeable from a mile away. The declared rose, honey, and vanilla are barely felt; what dominates is the combo of sandalwood, amber, oud, and tonka bean. Of course, it evolves, sweetens and softens, typical of a niche. Thanks to Jerry, I tried jewels I wouldn’t have afforded otherwise, and they deserve their illustrious fame: scent, trail, and longevity are top-notch.

It starts very spicy, with cinnamon well present, while myrrh delights me with its warm, fresh, and resinous breath, typical of balsamic notes. Over time, as the resinous-spicy part recedes, a non-intrusive honey takes the lead, flowing smoothly without any jolts, kept in check by an excellent balance with a slight animal touch. It seems born from a vision that offers to transform your mood into moments of pure pleasure. It’s a mature, creamy, and elegant creation, for those with an aromatic background. I think it’s a good overall job that deserves to be tried.

To me, it’s a blend of vanilla, tonka, and above all honey, with a citrus note (just me noticing it?) and roses. It doesn’t resemble anything with those notes. It has a sweet-creamy power that is discreet and elegant without being cloying. It invites you to keep smelling it to find all its details. It’s surprising how much attraction it exerts on people who smell it, despite the few initial compliments. It reminds me a lot of Aura Sublime by Bijon for that citrus touch (stronger in the Bijon one) and in its sweetness to Musc Ravageur boosted with honey. Those who appreciate amber scents less woody will benefit from it. The performance is among the best I know, or the best, with the exception of Aura Sublime. Brutal sillage for the first two hours.
