The quality and projection are top-notch. It starts with a spicy touch and red fruits, I think fig. Then it explodes into leather and rose, fascinating. It smells like an undeclared note, perhaps oud, or a fusion of notes. It’s a dirty, animalic accord with a brutally realistic rose, closing with patchouli. Definitely one of my favourites from Les Absolus d’Orient, alongside Cuir Intense.

Quality and projection are top-notch. It opens with a spicy, red fruit note, I believe fig. Then it explodes into leather and rose, absolutely fascinating. It smells like an undeclared ingredient, perhaps oud, or a fusion of notes. It’s a dirty, animalic accord with a brutally realistic rose, drying down to patchouli. Definitely one of my favourites from Les Absolus d’Orient, right up there with Cuir Intense.

This is pure glory! It requires patience, but the performance is well worth it. It leaves an enveloping trail with brutal projection. A fine, balsamic, slightly sweet patchouli, beautifully integrated. When you pass, people turn around; I’ve been asked about it several times on the street.

The first spray is a bomb: black pepper at full volume, identical to Jesús Del Pozo’s Arabian Nights Private Collection Woman. Although oud isn’t listed on the notes, I swear I smell it, and since I hate it, I don’t like it at first. After 10-15 minutes, it settles into a beautiful rose over leather; the dry down is attenuated patchouli and rose. The longevity is eternal and the projection excellent. Ideal for daytime outdoor outings or nights in airy venues. In the dry down, after two hours, it’s perfect for intimate encounters. It’s unisex and you’ll receive compliments, but you need to get used to the scent; a sample on the wrist doesn’t give you an idea of how fantastic it is. I don’t know how anyone calls it a granny smell; it’s exceptional, modern, and has zero vintage vibes.
