Really strong sticky sweet, gooey, thick animalic honey and edgy animalic Oud which feels unpleasant and synthetic in the opening. I think that Honey here is more challenging than Oud. I have finally understood that it's difficult for me to like strong honey note in perfumes because that note is very difficult to do well. Here it's well done but it's just too much. This is more sweet in the opening than Mamluk in my opinion even if many has said Mamluk to be more sweet. Anyway until the drydown the sweetness will disappear a bit and Tea note will join Honey and Oud. If you like honey, you should definitely sample this. Quality in overall is good (nothing near for example Bortnikoffs or Ensar Ouds though) and this really is HONEY. No baby wipes like Mamluk. The drydown is smooth and Musk doesn't feel at all natural which I think is very sexy and sensual. Here in Fragrantica the note is "White Musk" but it should be "Deer Musk" and those two are totally different things. The blend is ok but this scent is not for me.
