Sculpture Voyage en Orient

I agree with many reviews that this shares a similar DNA to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. I can definitely pick up that resemblance. To my nose, this feels like a spicier take on Tobacco Vanille. While Tobacco Vanille focuses more on tobacco and vanilla notes and sometimes they are overly sweet to my taste, this one leans heavily into spices. Right from the opening, you get a strong hit of cloves, ginger, and cinnamon, supported by a sweet, vanillic-ambery base. It actually reminds me of a traditional drink my father used to make called "wedang cengkeh". The main ingredients are cloves, ginger, and cinnamon. They are warm, comforting spices that are meant to warm up the body in cold weather. This fragrance captures that exact vibe. Because of that clove-heavy profile, I can see why people associate it with the tobacco aspect of Tobacco Vanille even though what stands out more here is really the spices rather than the tobacco itself. Overall, this is a great release from Nikos. If you already own Tobacco Vanille or perfumes with similar DNA, this might feel a bit redundant. But if you’re looking for something spicier, warmer, and more comforting, this is definitely worth trying. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend paying full retail for it, but at a discounter price, it’s absolutely worth it. 8.2/10

Amazing perfume, very clearly an autumn oriented fragrance, very appealing and satisfyingly sweet, kind to the nose and certainly not overpowering. The notes are blended excellently and is my favourite autumn/winter fragrance this year.

This. Is. Not. Safe. For. Blind. Buying. Only safe for Blind buy if you are a Cinnamon-Ambery scent connoisseur. The scent surprised me with the opening, it was so balanced mix of the cinnamon, vanilla and amber and the cinnamon wasn't louder than everything else, i wish the whole dry down smelled like the opening. Later on after the dry down the cinnamon takes over and its all I can smell, everything else is just weak but still there compared to the cinnamon. Please wear this only in could weather and dont spray too much, it will give you a headache(everything gives me a headache) and suffocated everyone around you if you're in a closed/indore, however. If you are wearing this outside on a cold day, or an occasion, you will be enjoying every minute, you can smell it on your self as you spend your day, the warmth in the scent is like 3 layer of clothing. I smelled a lot of fragrances, and this one really does smell like a niche, i really dont think this is for the masses, its for a certain type person who prefers spicy over sweet smells. Layering it with creamy, sweet, or citrus fragrance depending on the occasion, its fun to layer with other fragrances. Lastly the bottle, one of the best bottle desinges in my collection, and the gold atomiser was such a good detail, as it matches the whole theme perfectly, I think the bottle captures the scent well, finally the box, please buy it with the box its stupendous. Overall, I love this fragrance, but, it has to be used for very certain occasions/weather, and please don't blind buy.

This is a good, affordable fragrance. It is definitely not a "women's fragrance". If it has a lean, I would say it leans slightly masculine. I am a guy and I enjoy it quite a bit. It is a complex, spicy and sweet oriental. The provided notes of Cloves, Ginger, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Myrrh and Amber are accurate, easily identifiable by my novice nose and are all represented fairly equally. If you enjoy Orientals, I would say this is blind buy safe. I would give it a solid 7.75/10 and a Fragrantica score of 4.15. Unfortunately my bottle arrived from Jomashop defective/broken at or near the atomizer so about 50% of the juice had leaked out by the time it was delivered. But the packing material and cardboard box smelled great!

Nice stuff, works well for fall and winter. A lighter more feminine/unisex leaning version of Tobacco Vanille. Opens with warm spicy clove and ginger, as it dries down it settles in a more Tobacco Vanille profile. Performance is good, not great. A rather overdone profile and completely redundant if you have something like Tobacco Frank Boclet, TF TV, Amber Oud Tobacco Edition, Charuto Tobacco, Tobacco Touch.

This gracefully sits between Tobacco Vanille and spice bomb, while leaning more towards Tobacco Vanille, with a prominent ginger note in the opening. You certainly sense the quality, the composition is such that you can pick apart all listed ingredients and acknowledge them, I also get tobacco though it's not listed. Some reviewers said there's a milky/ lactonic vibe to this, I don't get that, not one bit. Certainly unisex, if you ask me I'd say masculine leaning, why the company is targeting women with this perfume instead of both sexes is beyond me. Performance wise it's just good but keep in mind I hold fragrances to a very high standards and expect beastly performance, for the average user the performance should be great. For me, I think I'll overspray. It last very well on clothes thu, until next day at least. Fall/winter only.

Although I do not see incense listed in the notes, I pick up strong incense throughout all phases in this. I suppose it could be the Myrrh, which can be described as sweet and balsamic. Unfortunately I find this overwhelming and as it drowns out all other notes and makes it smell overly sweet to me. Hopefully putting it aside for a while will change this, otherwise I will pass it along to someone who appreciates it.

I think the advertisements made a lot of confusion for the scent that it showed the exotic women of the East and was solely take as a female fragrance. It definitely can be worn unisex, but it has a very muscular feeling to it.
