Stunning opening smells absolutely amazing right out of the bottle... Must be the plum and orange whatever it is it's wonderfully fruity. That lasts for all of 30 seconds (shame) and what you're left with is a woody floral musk (to quote the description) and nothing more really. A good scent for a guy I think, quite masculine, very clean soapy vetiver dry down a little bit of smoke but again that's gone quite quickly. The spicing is tame by Amouage standards but well balanced and actually a nice wearable scent. Yep dia is alright in my book.
An incredible vetiver scent with better performance than it first seems.... I'm not a huge Bertie fan but this one is wonderful, and it doesn't smell like Guerlain Vetiver any more than any one vetiver scent smells like another. In fact I'd say this one is a lot more original than most. Perfect for a rainy, cold autumn day, to add a sparkle and shimmer to the grim, grey surroundings. Today it's raining constantly I Paris and I'm out and about, and this little gem is giving me a spritz of joy as I go between my meetings.
