Warm and spicy opening with loads of really nice blended spices. There is an effervescent quality in the opening that makes the experience quite unique. Reminds me a bit of Amouage style, particularly Boundless. The Bergamot goes all the way to the heart along with resins. I would say frankincense is the dominant note in the dry down. The patchouli note is not a dirty one and a mellow Vanilla in the base is just enough to complete the amber accord. Very vibrant and youthful ambery scent IMO. To me, this is an interesting release and personally my favorite of the four in the Freedom collection. Congrats to David Chieze and Mark Buxton.

The most dry and non sweet resins/incense blend that I've smelt so far. Wonderful!

It is very captivating for myrrh lovers - round, soft, and yet well articulated and vivid. Patchouli here gives a hint of a chocolate shadow, which stays with you for a long time. Overall, it is warm (it is not that obvious when you see olibanum/labdanum notes - as in some compositions, these ingredients show up in a cold, sharp way). The composition is full-bodied, which many perfumes miss nowadays. It is perfectly balanced and comfortable to wear. Sillage on the pale, cold skin - when I approach people, they notice this perfume at the arm's distance, but when I leave, they say it stays in the room. I asked if this was annoying or irritating (the last thing I want from perfumes is attacking people around) - the answer was not at all, as it is soft, not loud. Performance - after applying it around 17.00, I still get the shadow of the dry-down on my wrist the next morning. As labdanum, myrrh (why is it not listed) and non-sweet chocolate lover, I purchased it for myself, but yes, it is unisex and more on the men's side :) PS. By the way, in Lithuania (Odore d'amore shops), the flacons are of poor quality, the batch code looked suspicious (half-erased), and the letters "MB" on the cap unglued on the 3rd day after purchase. The shop puts a huge sticker on the designer's box, which is strange - why spoil the design with ugly stickers? There must be quality control and maybe guidelines for distributors cooperating with the MB brand not to improvise with the boxes.
