The opening is a beautiful almost realistic crystalline camphor. Not intense or overpowering, but more like a medicinal shampoo. There's a faint spicy and warmth from pepper, and a not too sweet, but juicy fruitiness.

Drying down the camphor softens and mixed with the musc becomes almost like a perfumed talc.

A little gentle spicy remains but hard to identify if that's from the incense, patchouli, or resins.

A really lovely scent, and worth a sample at least !

Bright, strong, green citrus. Herbal green lavender, delicate white flowers. Woody and almostly lactonic sandalwood rounding everything.

The musk in the beginning is not dark, but definitely a skin like quality, almost lactonic. Like a baby.

The opening has a flash of bergamot giving a green citrus edge to a powerful rose and oud. What the synthetic jungle essence is, I don't know, but I find the oud to be quite chemical and rubbery. Maybe it's my skin, maybe it's the other notes mingling. It's been around 30 minutes and the rubbery smell is fading. I will update later into the dry down.

4 hours in - any harshness has gone and I now have a sweet, woody, aromatic rose oud. A little dankness there, maybe just the oud, could be the patchouli.

To my nose, This is a patchouli, chocolate, spiced lactonic vanilla. A little almond in the opening.

A lovely scent, the notes I'm getting remind me of a Mugler DNA. This could fit in well as an A*Men flanker.

As with most Nasomatto, the precise notes aren't listed.

Quickly this made me think of the Blazing Mr Sam from Penhaligon's although not the same of course.

It's spicy - maybe cinnamon, clove, pepper? It has the dark sweet spiced twang of patchouli, lingering over sweet leather and tobacco.

It also made me think of Ombrè Leather.

There are dark woods, with a slight oud tint to them, maybe something warming like Amber.

A truly beautiful scent

Deep, dark, and strong.

Leather and spices burning over a Hinoki campfire.

I have a lot of animalics and don't get much from this. Certainly not filthy, especially if compared to Sadonaso from Nasomatto.

A beautiful masculine scent.

Warm spicy cinnamon and spices over top of a sweet almost cherry tobacco. Musk, woods, and a gentle creamy vanilla in the base.

A beautiful warm spicy fragrance.

The apple and orange paired with the cinnamon make it almost festive, but the herbal lavender and timid floral notes balances that out a bit.

In behind this fruity cinnamon, I was almost immediately reminded of Angel ~ Mugler. It must be the sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla rolling about.

I really don't see how you could dislike this. There's nothing wild or crazy, it's just warm, spicy and woody, with a drier spice of pepper becoming more apparent in the dry down.

The opening of this is intense.

I don’t mean to sound like a fragrantica twat with a story but this really did evoke a visual reaction so credit to the master Bish.

It’s like standing outside a car factory. There’s metal, there’s rubber, there’s leather, there’s fumes coming at you. It’s not giving BO like a lot of others mention.

But behind you is a field full of roses. Damp, sweet, green, floral roses.

The apple and lychee add sweetness to what could just be described as a jammy rose, but they also add some contrast and tartness.

I do love a rose fragrance. It’s one of my favourite notes. From the name and bottle I wasn’t expecting rose.

The cumin isn’t specific to me right away but it’s likely adding to the powerhouse opening.

The bouquet of chemical at the start does fade quite quickly and what’s left is dark rose oud with the memories of leather and earthy cumin.

A wild ride of an opening That settles into something more dark and familiar.
