Tambae

This perfume is an absolute dream. I am the biggest fan of paper like skin scents.. And this is exactly that. The paper note in this is woody and a bit sharp. That woody pencil shavings type of sharp. I am sure a bit of that woodiness is coming from the oud, but it is definitely not a stinky oud. It slowly turns more creamy and smooth from the tobacco and amber. The tobacco has a honeyed quality that is to die for. I think Tambae made me realize I am a huge fan of honey notes. Honey is very distinct in its taste and smell, but this isn’t over the top in the slightest. This makes me feel like I am in an old library with huge wooden tables, studying late at night in university. I am with my friends and we are all tired, but tired to the point where everyone is happy and delirious. There aren’t many other people in the library. The rows of books and tables are lit by old small lamps that are giving off a warm yellow light. You can smell the wooden tables and furniture and the old sweet pages of the books. It is an ultimate comfort fragrance to me.

Tambae smells like pulling an all-nigther at the art school at the end of the semester. It's late night, you sip on ginseng tea (because if you drink one more cup of coffee you heart will sure stop), your jacket is smoked-in from all the cigarette breaks you took and half-finished sketch is staring at you from the easel. But the night is long and you secretly enjoy working under pressure 🤭 I absolutely adore the smoked ginseng tea opening and warm and soft blanket of oud and tobacco in the dry-down.

this is simultaneously sooooooo sexy and cozy! it smells like pencil shavings, paper, smoke, and the skin of someone you love. i'd immediately be attracted to anyone wearing this, it's like a sexy art student. the best longevity and performance of the line as well! overall rating: 🩷🩷🩷🩷💔 4.5/5

This scent is so incredibly cozy and comforting. The smoke and tea notes complement each other so nicely, it’s not overpowering but perfectly present. This has become a go-to bedtime scent for me (as well as daytime, nighttime, all the time). Definitely need a full bottle!

Unexpected win from the discovery set! There's something sexy about this scent! Smoky but with sweetness from Ginseng. Oud is grounding but not prominent. Absolutely love it!
