This is probably my favorite I've tried from Alkemia. It's a kind of hard scent to parse, in keeping with its abstruse name. There's a lusciousness to it from the opium and honey. The churchy resins give it a really nice dryness, it also has a soapiness that I find in a lot of Alkemia fragrances and happen to like. I own both the regular and the ultime versions. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite of the two, but I would probably have to pick the regular. The regular has more of a crisp soapy quality and the ultime has more of a deep sweetness.

My favorite from Alkemia. Dark, sweet, soapy, airy. Bewitching. I had no idea it had oud in it--normally I hate oud but I guess it works here.

This smells a lot like black opium or good girl supreme maybe. Not really any oud, maybe in the background but not really noticeable. Same with the coffee. It smells dark and fruity. Very strongly resembles black opium to my nose but it’s maybe better. It does smell really amazing! I want to try more from this house as I was only gifted two samples from a friend, this and hexennacht. I liked hexennacht a whole lot more though just bc it was closer to my signature scent profile I go for- dark and Smokey. But these are very good, very well blended, they smell high quality. Looking forward to placing my own order from them <3

It's sweeter than I tend to like, but the drydown has an interesting smoke/wood/coffee/incense profile. I wouldn't call it a flowery type of sweet, it's likely the honey, full and rounded and made mature and mysterious by its base notes of agarwood and coffee. It's nice, but not as otherworldly as the description made me hope for. It's currently summer, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I come to like this scent a lot more during the autumn months!
