Bold and warm fragrance. Patchouli and grapefruit. More for fall and winter due to the strong patchouli note. Unique! "A fresh, suggary and fruity top note followed by a candied and gourmand Davana middle note, on a hay, sweet almond like base note. SOUTH OF AFRICA • The small traditional village mixes with the cities; the smell of the earth bathed in the sun mixes with the sparkling scents of citrus fruits; plains and dunes emerge from the intoxicating notes of Sandalwood and Patchouli; these scents of the savannah remind me of the fruity and subtle smells of Bucchu and leather. Suddenly a roar... "Izwe" is a powerful and sensual fragrance that represents both the ancestral and contemporary identity of this sacred land of the Zulu"

This is by far the most AWFUL "perfume" I have ever smell... I literally almost vomited, and had to run into the bathroom to take a long shower scrubbing myself while trying not to throw up.

After citrusy beginning, softer notes emerge jasmine lingering with patchouly and ambery cistus. Very good longevity on the skin, still smell it after some 4 hours. Enjoying its purity natural ingredients-wise.
