I'd fist like to mention that the notes listed on their site are: Top: Blackberry, Pink Pepper, Orris Heart: Oud, Rose, Amber, Cassis, Saffron, Base: Patchouly, Heliotrope, Moss and Musk which to me personally seems more accurate than what's listed here Fragrance has aromatic oud opening with hints of berry As it's drying it's becoming sweeter, the berry note becoming more prominent along with cassis giving the fragrance candy qualities As it dries down it becomes very complex It keeps the sweet fruity qualities but it is also accompanied by florals like rose on a bed of soft plush musks, amber and wood Also want to mention that i am usually not liking the cassis note in perfumes as it often comes off very harsh and synthetic but here it's so beautiful and perfect Reminds me a bit of Ishq by anfas when it's fully dried as it's creamy, ambery and slightly fruity

I love this beast 😍 Dirty leather and barn. Wonderful. Not wish it didn’t go more soapy and sweet at the end. Not for everyone for sure... Longevity 10/10 Projection 8/10 Love 8/10t

A fruitier version of Ombre nomad with minimal oud. At least to my nose. It's nice!

This one is not for me. It took a while to get to a place I enjoyed. The opening felt slightly like cough syrup. Artificial, slightly medicinal, and distracting. As it evolved, it did soften beautifully and began to settle into the skin, and that's when my brain finally connected. The dry down feels like a bedroom at golden hour. Open windows, white freshly cleaned sheets, sheer curtains rippling in a warm breeze. Soft, clean skin against clean fabric. The bed envelops you while the air carries in a hint of the garden outside, nature's calling, but you're held in comfort. Warm, soft, cushy. The dry down is genuinely lovely, but it takes too long to get there. I had to fight to reach the image, and for me that makes it not the right fit.

I really wanted to love this guys, but they play very safe for a niche/indie brand. This one smells very synthetic, to my nose it's a rosy powdery detergent with fruity nuances, cleaning product vibe, quite playful and youthful. Smells very cheap for a 200$ fragrance, it's just outrageously overpriced. You should check Vitias, Masar, Naki and Amoral, those are worth checking, this one's a hard pass.
