Wow! Just tried this the other day and I was thoroughly absorbed by it! Fantastically opulent & transports you to a bygone era. It's quite linear in composition and delivers resinous spice with few surprises. It's Myrrh with carefully chosen complementary ingredients but that's what I like about this kind of scent. Smells really expensive...and actually IS really expensive!!! I only tried it on a little ribbon (which I felt a bit silly with) I'm sure more depth will come out on the skin. I love these precious fragrances I've lots in my sights which are similar to this (and more affordable) at the moment so I'm not in a hurry to get it. Still this is an amazing fragrance no doubt about it!
Just a brief update...got a sample of this the other day and tried it on my skin in the shop. Again...this is very much up my street, the opening is wonderful and I get my fix from that alone. The dry down however? I have to concur with Harmonia's review below it's actually a bit disappointing. The myrrh which is so great and ever present in the opening, does fade quickly. I'm not going to nay say too much because it's still an excellent, luxurious perfume that is far better than many. If only it lived up to the opening I would hail this as a favourite of mine for sure. Update: Having worn a generous application of this now for nearly 6 hours I have to say the ambery/peppery/resinous nature of this is so good!!! Myrrh has remained okay this time(although it's faded now) and this perfume is stunning!!! I really really love it and have to have it.
Wow!!! Just got a compliment off my mum praise indeed! She NEVER normal comments (positively) on my choice of fragrance. But she loved this one...as do I and asked me what it was...I just said it's a sample and it's expensive. Christmas present for your darling son maybe?
