Opening with sharp and clean fruity notes, you can sense the
bergamot, crisp apple and warm cinnamon in the air. The delicious
aroma seamlessly fuses into the warm and spicy notes of cardamom,
golden agarwood and precious saffron. The scent moves smoothly
into sharp cedar, cozy amber and tender musk, leaving its stylish
stamp on any room it enters. Niche perfumery is a state of mind.

Review: Pleasantly Suprised that I love it. - I love it! Smells
great! I find it captivating. A little bit goes a long way. I use
it to layer with lotion and my daytime fragrance. Did I mention
that I love it? It lasts all day for me. It is small but it is
potent. It is beautifully packaged. The container is high
quality.
Review: Surprising - I was looking for something with a nice
orange blossom note, and this had popped up in reviews. Since I
prefer oils anyway and like mukhallats, this seemed ideal -- and
the price is great. I was a little startled when I unscrewed the
cap: the first thing that hit me -- and it hit hard -- was oud.
If you're not familiar, it's that woody, almost acrid, and very
strong note -- it's a common basenote in a lot of mukhallats.
It's not listed, but it's there and it makes its presence known.
Oud is nice, but it's so very pervasive, and I really didn't want
something that was going to be All About Oud, or so oud-y that it
was just going to clobber the other notes into submission. But
underneath was a fruity-candy-floral, which I hoped was robust
enough to emerge from that initial oud onslaught. It did,
fortunately, and quite quickly. It stays a bright, fruity honeyed
scent, with a light floral overlayer, and the oud and musk keep
it from being too sweet. It's a remarkably well-balanced and
complex mukhallat: nothing is overwhelming. It wears very well,
but closer to the skin than I expected -- not a lot of sillage
(although I was wary of putting on too much, so may have
underapplied. With oils, especially ones with oud, a little may
go a long way.) It's not so orange-blossom as some reviews
suggested (I'll find that one perfect orange blossom scent
eventually), but it's a gorgeous scent.
