Queen Nzinga

A high-quality geranium note within a well-balanced spicy amber. The tamarind plays the same role as it does in Thai food - lending a "certain something" that you can't quite place. I get overnight performance (at least 10 hours) and it radiates past arms length - smelling awesome the entire time. This is linear - so if you like what you put on skin, there's little worry that it will dry down to something unpleasant. If you are an amber aficionado - definitely worth a sniff.

Everything i didn't even know i was looking for in a fragrance. Classic, warm, and sultry. As someone who's never gravitated towards amber, I'm in love. Looooong lasting (overnight!!) and insane projection. Reminds me of daydreaming on a shag carpet in the 70's even though i was born in the 90's and never got to experience anything like that.

I don't get the Shalimar likeness but omg this is the best amber I've tried in ages. Sweet as treacle, must be the tamarind but with that firm amber base. Wafts all around me. Comforting and uplifting. Still getting to know this but I'm 💯 getting a full bottle. Based on a 2ml sample from Sainte Cellier.

This is absolutely beautiful. A big, powdery, ambery, semi gourmand with tamarind, and zesty citric nuances on a deeply floral base, with light balsamic qualities. I can't quite compare this to anything else and yet it has a familiarity that makes it warm and welcoming. A richly beautiful fragrance.

fizzy, balsamic, gooey gorgeousness. i associate this scent so much with intimacy and the private sphere that I admittedly fear wearing it outside. a powerhouse that commands notice. in the vein of Shalimar.
