A piece of Amber repeated dunked into the dead sea and dried, covering it in crystalline salt. This is a modern, ambergris recreation, IES dominant in the opening drying to a leathery, amber accord which then turns a Little soured and resembles Amberome base, which isn't in here but is actually real labdanum according to the formula. Strange though because it has a distinctly rubbery, mineral odour that I associate with it, bit odd for me. Reminded me of 'Slate' a perfume from Bath House in the drydown. The saltiness with the largely modern, woody, amber is kinda interesting I suppose? Would I wear it? No.But it's not offensive. Anything interesting to note about the formula supplied for this one? Not really other than it's considered as an 'Oriental Vanilla' by it's creator(???) bit odd. 30% Iso E Super which is not surprising or haute compared to some.

Smells like the new version of Oud Minérale, synthetic and metallic. It's no surprise who made this, as like all of the perfumes in his own brand (Matière Première) there's a backbone of harsh, screechy fixatives. Some people will like this - those who can tolerate the amberwoods - I don't really.
