7 Spiritual Explorer

This fragrance makes you feel a sensation of warmth that spreads throughout the body, awakening the mind and touching the soul. Its spicy, green and smoky opening intensifies with notes of roasted coffee leaving room for a sweet and sensual rose soaked in raspberry and caramel, giving a sensation of mystical and transcendental, but also distant, mysterious and fascinating. The base of musk and patchouli envelops notes of dry cedar and myrrh supported by the mineral power of ambergris. The vortex of sensations stimulated by this perfume mixes the clarity of the mind with the warmth of the body, stimulating the spirit and the desire for freedom and discovery.

A dark and gourmand rose for cold days. For sure, rose, caramel and saffron are the star of this perfume. Sexy & unisex, it is a warm perfume. Very good quality! "It is first of all a sensation of diffuse heat which seizes the soul. Breathed in by Incense and Saffron, it intensifies on contact with Coffee whose roasted aroma shades a delicate Rose soaked in Raspberry and Caramel. Sensual yet celestial, fragile yet spicy, it illuminates an armful of dry Cedar braided with White Musks then under the ardent breath of Myrrh, Ambergris gathers its crystals and lets the power of its mineral fragrance tinkle in a background of Moss and Patchouli. Spiral and infinite tension where the warmth of the body unites with the clarity of the mind, Spiritual Explorer evokes the passion that presides over the destiny of those who live free."

Wearing this a few days blind and away from any outside influence I swear this has an animalistic element, but it's really just the combo of the amber and rose. It's a bit darker, and the hint of sweetness and coffee or tobacco gives it a boozy element at times, but it dries down less wet and the earthly elements come more forward with myrrh and touch of woodiness, but the ambergris stays fairly constant. With it smelling much like one of my favorite teas, I will have to compare to other dark rosy finds and see if a full bottle is necessary.

Well balanced coffee-chocolate post-soviet candy smell. Nice work of Duchaufour. Can really recommend. 8/10

4/10 Can't get over how sweet this perfume is. From the first spray it's been way too much. The raspberry, rose and caramel combination is sickeningly sweet to the point that my head started hurting. I suppose it could be pleasant on someone walking by in cold weather, but I wouldn't be able to smell it on myself for a whole day. Leans more feminine in my opinion, but it's still very much unisex. I don't recommend blind buying this one, unless you are addicted to sweet scents

This fragrance opens dry and green, definitely masculine, then takes a much sweeter, almost gourmand turn, while still preserving some tart freshness. I wouldn't mind smelling this on a man, in spring time, but feel no urge to buy it for my husband.
