Fragrance Reviews by Adepta

A very refined and yet earthy and sensous patchouly blend - excellent if you like patchouly, oriental scents, spices.

Has been my favourite for years - classic, unobtrusive, with a touch of mystery. Maybe a more feminine interpretation of sandalwood. You can't go wrong with this one.

I really fell in love with this one - it was March, and I was in the mood for spring, wanting new clothes, a new haircut, new scents... And this one did it: it is so green and vital... I never wear flowery perfumes, but this one can hardly be called flowery: it is just... like fresh and tender green new things growing from the moist soil in spring. Moving and inspiring.

I have a suspicion - people from the US often are just unable to appreciate scents that are somewhat unusual, strong, or oriental - I think some of them have a strong dislike for pachouli, myrrh, incense and similar scents, which they identify - who knows why - whit bodlily odors. Could it have something to do with an exaggerated tendency to so-called hygiene, which is misinterpreted as the neutralization every trace of natural odor? That said, I think this perfume is excellent, even if not suited for all tastes. It starts as a fresh and aromatic herb mixture, which rapidly evovles to a pungent scent of resin, and finally takes on a scent of incense - but not the one you burn in sticks, the arabic one you buy in form of resinous grains - I think this is the myrrh comings out. Warm, oriental but sober, spiritual, well suited for autum and winter. More male perfume, probably, although I as a woman really love it.
