Semi Bespoke 10 is a stunning aromatic spicy fragrance, with hints of creamy Chypre qualities. Initially you’re greeted by the smooth warmth of coriander and cardamom, contrasted by the sweet and refreshing bursts of creamy peach and tangy mandarin orange. From here, as the scent becomes enveloped in a thick and powdery cloud of soft florals, a more intense spiciness makes itself known through the addition of cinnamon and clove. In the dry down is where this fragrance shines however - the smoky regal nature of frankincense and myrrh is joined by an array of smooth woods and balanced by the creamiest oakmoss and orris. This scent truly is a delight for the senses, there’s a lot going on but it still manages to smell clean, elegant and unique all at the same time. I feel like this is a riff on the Reckless Pour Homme scent profile, with more of a resinous, powdery aspect to the overall end product.
