  I love it! It smells of a monastery, meditation, incense, wood, peace, and the balance of Nepalese Buddhism. It brings back memories of my travels in Asia. I see it as more masculine than unisex, ideal for the evening. Very charismatic, yes sir.

  Semi-linear: this way from the start until three hours. Dark, woody, slightly spicy, and very green, like dry wood submerged in a lake with algae. I get the impression of marked aldehydes from the combination of notes. It feels monotonous quite quickly. At three hours, there’s a pleasant moment with vetiver and incense, but it lasts briefly before returning to being linear. Two hours later, the vetiver and incense reappear for a moment and vanish. It smells of mango (perhaps due to the lychee), although it shouldn’t have that note. It has similarities with Comme des Garçons 2 Man and Carlo Corinto (green bottle), but this one is greener with a slight touch of incense. In my case, the incense wasn’t very noticeable. It’s almost identical to Route du Vetiver by MPeG, but with a powdery and creamy touch that the other lacks, and with only 20% of the strength (RDV is five times stronger). I couldn’t stand it (I’ve already reviewed RDV). I don’t feel it’s as meditative, although it recalls monks with incense sticks due to that dry and smoky sensation. Always green, powdery, and creamy. Moderate trail, 11 hours longevity (the last three hours right on the skin). Worked well in heat, perhaps better in cold. I recommend it for fresh/cold climates, people aged 30+, formal office wear, not for informal outings.

  Complicated opening: very spicy, almost unpleasant due to the pepper. Then it changes: the incense appears with vetiver, tea, and iris. In the heart, those notes mixed with the spices are more appealing; the vetiver stands out, fresh and energetic. Everything is balanced, nothing clashes. Afterwards, the iris overtakes the vetiver; it’s not metallic or earthy, but well-rendered. The dry-down features papyrus (green), leather, and iris; the vetiver is barely noticeable. Something odd: sometimes it’s hard to smell it, seeming to fade quickly, but that’s not the case. There are bursts of scent that remind you of it. Projection is moderate, but it scents occasionally. The most amazing thing: the next day, the room still smelled incredible hours later. It leans masculine, although the finish is feminine with the iris. I recommend it for temperate or hot climates. I’m still not sure if I liked it; the opening put me off, but the heart and dry-down are addictive. I want to try it more to decide. The good thing is it’s not expensive.

  An exotic and slightly unusual fragrance. The opening is green and spicy; lychee mixed with spices, tea, and papyrus creates an acidic, piquant, and potent effect that can be overwhelming, like the spices in an exotic dish. That green freshness persists and can become tiring. Then the woods enter, dense and consistent, adding body and a dry, cabin-like feel thanks to the cedar and vetiver. The papyrus remains, while the iris adds a warm breeze that blends with the incense smoke, evoking the steam from a kitchen. Leather adds a subtle detail. The longevity is excellent and the trail projects in pulses. It’s original and striking, but not for daily wear; I’d use it to enjoy or on specific days as it can get tiresome. Rating: 5.

  L’Artisan’s Dzongkha is a woody, green, and floral blend. It kicks off with a brief alcoholic nip that quickly gives way to a floral bouquet with a touch of incense lasting just about five minutes. It then becomes creamier, reminiscent of hand cream, while the green notes intensify into an almost Mediterranean herbal aroma. I think it’s ideal for daytime wear, though it could work for a warm evening. It’s pleasant and long-lasting, fitting well as a unisex scent, although to be honest, I don’t see myself buying it again. Thanks to @arp for sending it my way.
