Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Look, it smells odd and very heavy at first, nothing pleasant, but after 10 minutes it transforms into a strong cinnamon with cloves that reminds me of arroz con leche with lots of cinnamon. Honestly, in the end, it’s a delight…
I bought it due to the historical references in Federico Kukso’s book about the Egyptian pharaoh’s perfume for the Santa Santorum. Inspired by the history, I ordered it blind and it was a disaster. I love incense, but this smells dirty, with too much myrrh making it unbearable. I applied it to my skin and had to wash myself with camphorated alcohol to remove the smell, which gave me diarrhoea, no joke. I like powerful perfumes, but this is only for those who build pyramids. Two months later: determined to understand it, I gave it several chances. It can’t be that such a smell causes me physical discomfort; surely there’s a component that reacts badly with my skin, as a friend found it reminiscent of the temples from their childhood and others to touristy Arab shops. It’s a pity it doesn’t get much press; I’d love to read more reviews.
