Boa Madre

Based on the reviews below, I was not expecting to enjoy this nearly as much as I have. I applied it on my shirt before sleep, and it was going strong a full 15 hours later. I haven’t tried it on skin with such longevity, but two sprays and 15 hours on clothes - who cares?! I don’t really smell any of the notes listed, particularly. Maybe/probably the banana leaf? Definitely something green. I could even stretch and say the lightest of leathers. There’s a tiny bit of something sweet but not so much floral. I don’t clock tuberose or any florals at all really. But it definitely has sucked me in and made me very curious and very interested. I didn’t think it was going to be a winner, but I think I could go through a sample or two to determine if this is the one for me. It’s really got something going for it.

It's a heavy, floral opening. Leathery, leafy, and rosy from pink pepper. A bit spicy, yet warm and fresh. The sweetness of indolic, deep florals then dominates, but they are always overshadowed by smoky leather. Then, bitter, smoky oud, and animalics. The drydown is an earthy, floral animal-wood hybrid. Perfectly balanced. What remains on the blotter the next day is inky moss, tarry wood, strong leather, and warm animalic notes. The juxtaposition of the soft sweetness of florals and animalic leather. Not too sharp or too strong in either case. Very mild and not intrusive, almost too delicate. I love it!

Very strong start with the most amazing dry down. A great option for folks that love leather fragrances with a twist. All seasons and for the very bold. Shukran Habibi!

Profumo spettacolare, multisfaccettato e mai banale. Ti avvolge con note di tuberosa calde ma al contempo fresche, non annoia mai.

Juicy bright green opening full of iris, aloe vera, jasmine, maybe a little banana leaf. Soft light leather and mossy base soon appear in the background. Castoreum and civet almost imperceptible, no animalic wilderness at first. I perceive something like the cigarette smoke of the previous day on jacket you had in bar much more. A greenish-gray fragrance full of rich colors that leaves a slightly cool, strong impression. More on feminine side. Continues after 4th hour to strongly dusty silver metallic with more pronounced animallic tones and musk, sensual not in a dark way but this cyber note.
