Omniscent 0.96
by Yosh

A reminiscence (at least in relaction  with some factors) of some iconic, deliberately "stuffy", fragrances of the past like some Diva Ungaro, Rochas Woman, some old  Fendi, krizia, partially Magot Etro and others, this  deep ambery spicy-chypre with hints of animalism, mellow fruits (apricots, plums?) and incense is an unoriginal smell that grounds itself on a woody, honeyed and mossy-ambery base over which are placed hesperidic oils, spices (cloves, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon), tobacco, a backbone of patchouli and flowers (jasmine, tuberose?). The sensation is to be smelling something  old-fashioned and potpourri, something that conveys your mind back to a left over sense of womanily of the past, the same sensation i perceived inhaling the drier Aromatic Lime Montale (hesperides, patchouli, flowers, spices). To me this one is just a feminine fragrance and on this sphere i don't find it overly sweet. Finally i smell  more  honey, animal notes, tobacco and edible spices than florals, herbs and citrus. In this phase the juice becomes dark, dense and strong on honeyed amber, mellifluence and retro vibe.

A mess of tuberose and tobacco, excessively sweet and something I wish I knew less of.

Intoxicating....in a good way. Love the way this smells on me.

Lightly spiced tuberose is all I get. Complexity that goes nowhere. The juice itself looks like it would stain. Meh.

Named not merely Omniscient, but zero-point-nine-six. How pretentious. Much ado about not much. I smell pepper and cedar, followed by mint, and then this fragrance sweetens into murkiness. I try to imagine flavored pipe tobacco, but I'd rather bury my nose in a real bag of fresh pipe tobacco. Sorry, but it doesn't live up to its hype.
