Although akigalawood is not listed here, it is present in large quantities.
More interesting than the usual Teriaq, but not more than that. Very synthetic. Not original.
Very feminine. It is both woody and fresh, creamy-coconut, spicy, a bit salty, and slightly floral-sweet at the same time.
Very sillage-heavy, I can smell it on my clothes for weeks.
The oud is not overwhelming, it does not overshadow everything around, but rather emphasizes certain aspects, it is not medicinal, without sterile cleanliness.
The rose is delicate, in good balance with the oud, fruity notes are clearly audible, but I couldn't recognize the plum here, unfortunately. There is also an alcoholic note, something liqueur-like. In the base, there is amber and wood. There is no sillage, the fragrance sits like a cocoon. Overall pleasant, perfect for cool and damp weather.
On my skin, there is initially a bitter tartness of citrus greens, and then the softest neroli, with tuberose only further softening them, although from the blotter, it projected very strongly, on par with neroli.
Overall, a very pleasant fragrance with good longevity. I applied it in the evening after a shower, and the next day at lunch, it was still noticeable.
I am adding to my review after using it in the summer heat. I really liked how the tuberose sounds; it is soft, enveloping, even creamy, plus the citrus freshness of neroli and powdery notes in the base make the fragrance very interesting in its sound.
The first thing to note is that the fragrance is voluminous and has a strong sillage. I tested it for the first time on a blotter and then put it in the pocket of my jacket, which was hanging in the hallway; the pocket was open, and the scent filled the entire room.
When I tested it on my skin, at first it was definitely tuberose and only that, then the fragrance settles down and a bit of cocoa appears, which adds some warmth. After about 2 hours (and this is the second thing to note!), peaches with a slight tartness! That's when the peach (or apricot) appears, and it's already beautiful and makes you want to repeat it.
A wonderful neroli mono fragrance, from beginning to end only flowers without any transformations.
Marine, floral, a bit of greenery. The longevity is good for this type of fragrance.
Despite such a price and obvious imitation, the fragrance is of decent quality, I am surprised and I like it.
The climate has a very strong influence on this fragrance. I bought it in a country with a dry climate, and it filled the entire space, with a huge sillage, it was sharp and harsh, I admit it might have been unbearable for someone. Then I wore it in a humid climate, and it was a completely different fragrance; it revealed its best side, everyday, woody-fresh, delicate, simply night and day.
