Camel, from Zoologist Perfumes was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Carbonnel. It has the top notes of Dates, Dried Fruits, Olibanum (Frankincense), and Rose, middle notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Incense, Jasmine, Myrrh, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Civet, Musk, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
Sweet dried fruits, and resinous opening with almost medicinal citrus from the Olibanum.
Woody notes and spices come in soon after with a warm and furry animalic musk.
The rose comes across softly and a little waxy, like Malle's Lipstick Rose.
The resins and incense here really sing but well composed. A balsamic ambery warmth accompanies.
This smells like what I'd imagine a desert market to smell like. Dried fruits, spices, resins and flowers in wooden boxes baking in the sun. The camels are nearby, their fur warming.
Considering the hundreds of suffocating, fruity "oud" scents Chris Maurice has crapped out, any number of which could have been aptly named "Camel", this one is quite sedate, and thankfully lacks the usual ambro-chemical base he usually uses.

A truly beautiful take on an oriental fragrance.
