Sachal 사찰

A fragrance of zen. Smoky is shown as an accord, but this translates to the smell of incense in a bright, airy, opening in a forest. It captures the meditative, accepting mood that accompanies the act of contemplation, in spring, next to a temple lit by a relaxed sun. The aldehydes note contribute to the airyness without adding a detergent smell. Cedar, bright incense and sandalwood are definitely the dominant notes. Overall, very true to its description. For me, it's first and foremost a spring fragrance, but it is wearable during summer and early autumn as well (and would also brighten rainy days). This is strongly noticeable for the wearer since you don't really go noseblind to it. As for longevity, during summer wear, it's closer to 4 hours, but my skin really tends to wash off perfumes in the warm season. It seems to last a lot longer on clothes though, after 8 hours I may still catch a whiff from my shirt. A minus would be the plastic cap. I like the bottle design, but the plastic cap feels very cheap (and I know this perfume also comes with a wooden cap - it would better reflect what it's trying to achieve).
