It has the top notes of Agarwood (Oud), Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Labdanum, and Saffron, middle notes of Cacao Pod, Leather, Oakmoss, and Styrax, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
Is it a good artistic expression of a “silkroad” inspired scent? Absolutly! Do you have the feeling you smelt it before? Yeah, maybe. Did it blew my mind? No, but does it have to?
It’s overall a fantastic scent with decent sillage and great longevity, great warming notes of cacao, oud, lovely warm woods, slight leathery hint, so if you‘re in that kinda mood or you want a safe, sure that people will like it, good expression of a western meets oriental scent? Then it’s a great idea to go for saddles of the silkroad by Mystikum Berlin!
