Kuhuyan, from Parfums de Marly was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Jasmine and Violet Leaf, middle notes of Heliotrope and Leather, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Ambergris, and Tonka Bean.
I echo many of the sentiments expressed below about this fragrance and Marly in general. They are all pretty excellent fragrances minus a couple just for taste reasons but like any house they do have a style and it seems to tend towards the warm and oriental. I found myself stuck between this, Oajan and Herod (eventually opting for Oajan) because they were all very good. I suspect like with Oajan secrets and extra nuances will be released on further inspection I've no doubt but even without that insight, I instantly fell for Kuhuyan. Helitrope and I don't really get on but this is a delightful blend of an almond/vanillin/suede and woods...probably the best way to describe it. The heart notes are pleasantly floral and slightly powdery violet and base is tonka and warm amber and again...probably oud? This is a true composition with nothing over stepping it's bounds and actually making for quite a tame fragrance. These elements don't spring to mind as being my favourite but undoubtedly work together. Quality is good, longevity is a bit lacking but I'd definitely like to try it again.
