Otis & Me

Got this as a surprise sample, and really happy I did. Spicy, ever so slightly smoky and delicious. The coffee is subtle and tasteful, not venturing into gourmand space at all. The smoke is mild, not cigarette-like at all to me, which I would find kind of a turn-off. Incense/pepper and just a bit of freshness remind me a bit (gasp) of Creed's Royal Oud. This frag is more floral in the mids and smoother, than Royal Oud, I find. I think it would serve well in multiple seasons and wear scenarios. Really like this one, 8/10. Color me stunned! I will for sure get a FB, as well as samples of the rest of the masculines in the line.

This perfume has won my heart in a deep way, I don't know if I can put the experience into words. The combination of cardamom, rose, incense, and coffee is an absolute joy. Ida Meister reviews Jazmin Sarai's line on this site and I agree that the coffee in this perfume is like Turkish coffee; it is spicy, lightly smoky, but the rose sings of love at its heart. So Beautiful! This woman just bought a full bottle and I can't wait for it to arrive. I love the multisensory approach too!

Bright almost vegetal cardamom and bergamot in the opening. As it warms up the black pepper, coffee, and balsam fill out the body with the cardomom still being at the head. The coffee is faint and blended quite well. Some perfumes opt for an almost fresh bag of beans, while others do a more brewed coffee, this uses the coffee almost like a spice. It’s more of a supporting role to cardamom and balsam. Really quite beautiful.

This is a deep, slow, dark perfume with a spicy heart. I'm so impressed by the freshness that is maintained throughout. Irresistible on men and compelling on women. Signature scent worthy.

Really like this scent. Nice and spicy cardamon foodie doesn't last amaaazingly long though maybe an hour or so. I have 100+ niche samples for swap within Europe - updated spreadsheet of samples on my profile, get in touch!
