The real notes: Top: Chilli, Sichuan Pepper and Cherry Blossom Heart: Rosewood and Labdanum Base: Olibanum Resin and Dark Oudh Smells warm and spicy. There's an almost orange-y note but I wouldn't consider this a citrus fragrance. Maybe it's the unusual combination of the chilli with cherry blossom, rosewood and/or resin? But as a young woman, I'd feel comfortable wearing this

Super bitter and really interesting. I’m not sure my nose is refined enough to pick out all the finer details, but it definitely leans a bit masculine. Maybe woody, maybe musky? What really surprised me was the Sichuan pepper. It hits you right in the bridge of the nose and actually makes it tingle, almost like you sniffed real pepper. Very cool experience.

The full notes are: Top: Chilli, Sichuan Pepper, Cherry Blossom Heart: Rosewood, Labdanum Base: Olibanum Resin, Dark Oudh I can’t decide if I like this or not lol it’s not bad per say but it’s pretty linear on my skin, and it kind of stings my skin when I put it on 😅 For me I pick up more rosewood than anything else, but it does have a spiced aroma to it, so I do get the chili and pepper. It’s like a woody slightly spiced fragrance but it’s still pretty light and not a dark feeling frag typically associated with Oud. I don’t think it’s fb worthy for me but sampling it has been fun and this grew on me the more I sat with it!

Very fresh and spicy! The sichuan and chili note really stand out, and last a long time. For a fragrance with oud and olibanum in the base its remarkably light, which Gabar does so well.

This is incredibly off-putting for me. It’s not pleasant, it’s sharp, it’s unbalanced, very very bitter. Like with majority of Gabar, I’m sadly noticing that their releases don’t feel completed, as though their scents needed more trials and were released too early in their developing process. My favorite from their whole collection by far is Rise.
