Atlas Wood opens up very citrusy and green. Bergamot is not like it is normally in the opening notes disappearing quickly. It's not only noticeable and crispy but sticky as well. It's not like a citrus juice, it's like a syrup but not sweet. It stays there during a whole evolution of the fragrance. Green and bitter nuances from Fig Leaves and Green Pepper are accompanied with citrus and it feels aromatic and refreshing but there is certain calmness as well in it. The aroma is very rich and opulent, not crystal clear and transparent like those notes mostly are. I don't find any typical liqorice smell here, not even a hint of it, Star Anise is rather balsamic and woody here, supporting woody base notes. Both of the flowers stays hidden as supportive notes as well in this very unique concoction. What is special here, is an amazing longevity of that citrusy green scene. Those notes tell you the most of this scent together with deep woods. One important thing more to mention: Sandalwood here is not made in a typical way at all. It's not soft and creamy. Did you know that there is 15 different species of Sandalwood? I don't know the specific specie used here but it feels earthy and citrusy. It's not the main base note here anyway, it's Atlas Wood which seems to hold all the other notes with its branches and they are tightly entwined in the branches. I was waiting how the Ambergris would show up but the sophisticated aroma of it stays under that powerfull woodiness. I have to admit that this scent profile is not my style and this is the most masculine scent from Marrakech Imperial's collection. This is very strong, long lasting as well, and the quality is awesome. I only sprayed it once each time when analysing it and it lasts all the day. I have to say that if you like this description and those mane notes (Bergamot, Fig Leave, Green Pepper, Atlas Cedar Wood) made in a unique way you will fell in love with this scent and it's worth every penny. EDIT! Of course there came straight away something in my mind after posting the review. 😅 I think that the reason for hidden florals on my skin and in my nose is because of citrus. They are not actually so muted but my brain tends to detect straight away a citrus note which is actually not so persistent for people who love that note. It has to be like that since this perfume is not linear in any kind of means and it has very similar style of structure like Take Me Back To Marrakech - ravishing yet polarizing opening and smooth pleasant middle phase before the drydown. So if you love citruses it doesn’t bother you and you may find the gorgeous Jasmine and Lily-of-the Valley and can enjoy their beauty. On my skin they are covered with Bergamot syrup but now I started to think that my brain is making a trick to me. I have written reviews of other Marrakech Imperial's scents as well. Arabian leather is coming soon. This review is based on a sample.
