Makes me feel like I am in a church during funeral service. It smells of musky ritual incense and freshly processed handmade leather. Green notes add a kind of crispiness to it, I do sense the citruses, lemon and bergamot, also Levander, later on some diluted florals come into play. It's a loaded scent (for sure unisex), would not recommend it for the daytime.

Notes in order: Spicy - not getting much of this on me Green - yes. A bit generic but natural and pleasant. Really juicy/wet in a good way and fresh, like being in a field after rain. The best part of this fragrance IMO. Citruses - they are there but very light on me. Generic as well, however they are quite pleasantly natural-smelling. Nothing synthetic, harsh or too bright here. No cleaning product smell -- all very gentle and pleasant. Amber - yes arabic Lemon - as prominent as "citruses" above...light on me but there. Bergamot - generic and light but there Lavender - yes, there, watery/diluted but pretty Musk - sure Floral notes - yes, there, fairly generic but natural smelling. This whole composition is very pleasant. Round and natural and big enough to be interesting, watery-fresh and uplifting. Perfectly unisex to my nose - you could focus on the floral and be right or focus on the green and be right. Everything is very even. I would call this an uplifting fougere. Smells like first day of spring to me. Smells better than the average Haramain cheapie, which in my experience typically plays around in "high end body care product" scent-grade territory, especially the ones in the smaller square bottles. And then sometimes the compositions only evolutionarily improving in complexity as the bottle gets fancier. Really nice -- but those are not representative of the very transporting magic a good (high end/relatively expensive) fragrance can really do. This one plays above that beginner grade, without reaching truly high-end territory. It is very, very nice: fresh, uplifting and when I am not in the mood for something beastly or too sophisticated or high-end smelling, this still smells very intriguing, real, natural and expensive enough. Really nice composition for the price. Has a fair amount in common in terms of vibe with Jannah, but they are different, both sets of notes on here being fairly accurate for each. But the overall fresh uplifting vibe is similar.
