The book of wisdom - Elixir fatal

From the concentrated essence of my long deceased grandma, to the coolest perfume I own I absolutely hated this stuff at first. It walks such a fine line between; 1. The above mentioned grandma essence and barnyard oud 2. A hyper sensual gentlemen's musty office scent With soft rose petals, expensive old leather couches that need to be cleaned but they're kinda cool because they're a bit dirty It's very musty and reminds me of the my dad's office that we weren't allowed in as kids With leather bound books that have been collecting dust for 10 years and have big words that I don't understand A personal must own, 10/10 masterpiece and the most engaging perfume I have ever tried Adi Ale Van is 100% worth the hype. I was so ready to be disappointed by all the tiktok posts but man, his sample set is one of my best ever purchases This is what expensive liquid smellystuff is about Btw 99% of reviewers havent smelled this, i can guarantee that @miltonfragrance has, but it sounds like his sample juice went syrupy from travel - so did mine. my first wear was like his, but the 2nd was goated

This is a beautiful scent. Kind of smells like the dry down of The Moon by FM. The oud in this is barnyardy and musty, but it's not the forefront of the scent and gives it a nice background. But I can definitely see people being turned away by the oud in this. Just a nice fruity, jammy rose and oud scent. This is also definitely a more mature scent. Another one that is on the lower end of my purchase list, but the bottle gives it a boost because just look at that thing!

This smells like an old leather-bound book and some smoke and roses. I would say this is an autumn scent, Imagine an old classic library at night in Eastern Europe. I would sample it first if you are considering buying it. But overall one of the better scents from Adi Ale Van.

raspberry and rose are very noticable but the wood and lether blends so well its not feminen at all.
