Pimento, clove and paprika
Iris and green leaves
Reseda, ember wood, woody notes.
The opening has dusky green notes and is attractive. The spices are dry and peppery, and the clove is not overdone. The scent overall is subtle and translucent, as is typical of this line. The myrrh-like note from the reseda is heady and perfumed-green, giving a pleasant and soapy quality. The scent is quite enjoyable; dry not sweet. The peppery-myrrhy drydown is really enjoyable.

An interesting perfume but ultimately not worth the very high price.
Starts almost juicy with the paprika being quite sharp and light, not really gourmand like at all. As the middle notes come through, a rooty vetiver appears but the flowery notes keep it from becoming too heavy. It's an interesting take on vetiver, brighter than most and with all of Ellena's creations typically well made but I won't be buying a bottle when my sample runs out.

When I first applied my sample, I was taken back to Gucci pour Homme II, a bit of Jil Sander for Men and a touch of Hugo Boss Dark Blue. GphII has pimento, reseda smells a bit like myrrh, the green leaves are like Jil Sander for Men and Hugo Boss Dark Blue's woody notes are here. I like Paprika Brazil but I don't think I'll pay $200 for what I can get from Gucci pour Homme II or Jil Sander for Men. I can't turn my thumb down on this one though.

Notes according to The Perfumed Court: pimento, clove, paprika, iris, green leaves, reseda, ember wood and woody notes
