Celebes Wood

It's time to place this perfume in the "Natural Wonders of the World". This is the most accurate cinnamon/labdanum smelling perfume I've ever tried. It is extremely boozy, rich, decadent and loud. If you've ever boiled up fresh raw cinnamon sticks in pots, this smell is very accurate to that. The peppers in the perfume smell like you're putting your nose into an actual bag of peppers and the labdanum and vanilla are very very enjoyable. Natural perfume lovers must try this. Blind buy safe if you like warm weather perfumes. The usage of the labdanum note reminds me of many (much more expensive) Roja Dove, and vintage Caron creations. I find some very very remote similarities to "Puredistance M" but Puredistance M is incredibly sharp when compared to this, and it doesn't hold a candle to this in terms of cleanliness and natural-ness. I can also say it reminds me of modern Musc Ravageur batches but outlasts/outshines those. The vanilla and Labdanum are to die for and the boozy accord created as a result is something that stays with you for many hours.

AFTER 6/7 HOURS: There is something very addicting about this fragrance, I keep smelling my arm and tester and I especially like the peppery dry down. I'm not a fan of the stronger cinnamon in the beginning but after 7 hours the beautiful blending of the perfume really shines! Would be excellent on a man for date nights, but I would still wear it as a woman. You have to come really close to smell it though. I don't get so much vanilla, but more amber and tonka. One of the better ones from Mizensir if you ask me. Update: I bought it and am head over heels over it - I enjoy that it has a kick to it. I also like layering it with Shalimar L'essence or The Architects club.

I love the house mizensir and alberto morillas is exceptional at creating parfumes for years and celebes wood is, for me, a triumph! The notes on fragratica are nonsense so I implore you to judge for yourself. I dont really get much spice. I get more of a floral, powdery musk scent like an adult luxurious version of baby powder. It's a clean scent and then tones down to deep woods. It's one that I'll always have in my collection forevermore

Celebes Wood sits in the same family as Pure Havane, Oajan, Naxos, Ambre Narguille. If you like those, this is a safe blind buy. However, while all of those are quite dense, this is the airy and light! It’s so lovely - sweet, spicy, vanilla and labdanum without being cloying (which Havane and Oajan tend to get on me). Will be getting a full bottle in the future

Some of the reviews of this fragrance are OD. I bought it as a blind buy and believe it is fantastic. It is a fragrance that you truly never understand fully with your nose, but it just smells right. 100% blind buy worthy, as pretty much all Mizensir fragrances are.
