This is a smoothly blended fragrance with excellent materials but perhaps lacks some of the definition later stuff by Les Indemodables has for instance. This is not a criticism I like that this fragrance has a simplistic feeling MO. Actually reminds me of a combination of Ambre supreme (the warm ambergris element) and Des Cendres (the green masculinity) It opens with bergamot, briefly unfurled over a very nice amber accord, and I’m not talking the benzoin/vanilla/laudanum type of amber. This is airy, human, skin like, but with classic perfumery elements which lean into an almost polo green, aromatic fougere territory. This is what reminds me of Des Cendres, take the Galbanum away and and all that ashy stuff, replace that tuberose with a much more slight jasmin paired into that fleshy base and viola! I like it a lot and believe much care and consideration was taken in selecting the materials in this, even though it feels very simple and quite natural.
