Really glad I picked this one up; 100% blind buy I found while browsing a discounter site. I looked up the profile here and decided to order. The scent is mostly a birch and amber musk with jasmine. The apple and bergamot are there, more apple than bergamot, but neither come across in the way I am used to. After drying down, the fruits aren't sweet, but tart, really switching things up. This pairs great with the overall scent. With the overwhelming amount of sweet scents these days, I REALLY appreciate the change up. The jasmine wraps the scent up very nicely and holds everything together beautifully. Unique [to my collection], at this price point, it's a steal. Everyone should own a bottle of this. In all seriousness, I'm shocked at the low volume of reviews, especially considering how inexpensive it is. We all have different tastes, I get it, but this is criminally underrated and underrepresented. Instant B to A-tier for me, when considering the scent at the price point. Pick it up and check it out, even if you don't love it, I almost guarantee you have [way] more expensive stuff you like much less, (making the lack of exposure even more puzzling). Definitely a year round scent; cozy in the winter, camping/woodsy/nature vibes in the summer. Good projection and sillage, easy 8-10hr+ longevity on my skin. Pulls compliments.

According to the Brand: The top notes are Cactus Flower, Lily-of-The-Valley and Violet; The middle notes are Lily, Orange Blossom and Bulgarian Rose; The base notes are Birch, Rum, Patchouli, Amber and Bourbon Vanilla. To me, this is an updated, woody and more masculine take on the classic Oriental scent profile. It has moderate projection but lasts for 12+ hours. I cannot comment on how similar this fragrance is to Velvet Desert Oud, but it's recommended for people looking for something a little bit different.

All I smell is birch! Looks like I'm not the only one as birch is the only note anyone voted for up there. I get a little citrus up front but none of the florals that are listed for this everywhere I look.

!!!!!! This came out in 2021 and it’s now 2025 and only 2 reviews on this. I Haven’t yet smelled it but certainly worth checking out if nobody is talking about it.
