I get a kind of cacao, chocolatey note in the opening and the support of heliotrope adding to the sickly sweet sensation, perfectly juxtaposed with earthy touches. It does have the sensation of classical iris/orris very rich but mildly herbal not that I've tried Iris Gris but this smells antiquated (in a good way) Nice blend, one of the more subdued attars in the collection, opening bold then mellowing considerably and with so much else to love it doesn't stand out but that's not to say it isn't brilliant because it clearly is.
Top: iris absolute, violet absolute, heliotrope, lilac, mimosa, peach.
Middle: orris pallida butter, carnation absolute, jasmine grandiflorum absolute, Persian rose otto, violet leaf absolute.
Base: white ambergris, mimosa absolute, tonka absolute, Mysore sandalwood, cedar, Haitian vetiver, orris pallida butter.
A super smooth and creamy opening, very deep and rich, has waxy quality, with hints gourmands notes (tonka), with some gentle sweetness and a backbone of woodiness. It has a marzipan quality, reminds me of a shaving soap called Cella i used to use when i didn't have a beard and was a hobbyist of wet shaving. Had the scent dries down it starts having a gorgeous powdery quality. Smells very luxurious and of high quality. Also has a strong warm spicy note in the drydown.
Performance is strong for an attar, you have a decent scent cloud, with the scent being very strong close up. Longevity is brilliant, 10+ hours.
Overall rating is 5/5, gorgeous scent, wonderful performance, such high quality, a joy to experience!
