Mon Seul Desir

The initial description that comes to mind is that it smells as if Amouage had created M7. Not similar in structure or notes, but with the same initial vibe. Mon Seul Désir has its own direction within niche perfumery. On the initial spray, the mandarin note is vibrant and clear, but it lasts only a couple of minutes. What follows, and what I detect most, is a resinous, smoky, woody amber, dark and luxurious in atmosphere. Everything is blended so smoothly that it gives the impression of an old tapestry, or an old wooden room in a castle rather than a church. A strong artistic interpretation of what is considered the Mona Lisa of the Middle Ages.

Peppery slightly sweet slightly dark amber with some spice (most a polite dose of nutmeg) on top of soft wood. The citrus helps keep it contradictory with some brightness and freshness more so nose to skin. Like someone spilt a diluted single malt on top of a wooden chipping board and some pepper. Absolutely gorgeous with decent sillage and 4-8 hours of play. If you want a warming masculine winter scent that says I’m a sophisticated lumberjack in brogues and pin stripe suit today - this is it!

One of my recent favorite finds. Slightly warm and ambery with the sweetness of the mandarin peeking through. Feels very well blended. Not a beast projector by any means but you'll catch gorgeous whiffs for a few hours. Will wear the hell out of this one all year round.

Spicy warm muskiness, a lovely blend of woody and leathery with a touch of fruity. It gets denser and spicier as it dries on my skin, like being covered by a thick blanket sprayed with this scent. Autumn and winter is perfect for this, lasts all day.

Classy, resinous and seductive. Head turner and compliment king. Stands out as quite unique, yet when you smell it, it's like "I've always been looking for this scent without knowing why"
