Tiger by Her Side, from Sana Jardin was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Carlos Benaim. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Coriander, middle notes of Benzoin, Patchouli, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Incense, Labdanum, and Vanilla.
The opening is sharp, a fizzy mix of cinnamon and coriander. After a while, a patchouli note joins the ever present cinnamon, with a touch of resin. Only in the base do the cinnamon and patchouli finally calm down, allowing the vanilla, incense and amber to come through, and that stage is genuinely pleasant.
Unfortunately, this tiger and I won’t be getting along. For me, there’s simply far too much cinnamon and patchouli here. The fragrance resembles Cherry Cola by Paris Corner, which is likewise heavily dominated by cinnamon. Longevity is around four hours, and the projection is moderate.
