Aroon Sawat

Quickly rising up the ranks of my favorite Prin creation, Aroon Sawat is perfect for someone who doesn’t like citric and fresh fragrances, but still wants something wearable for high temperatures. This fragrance opens with a blast of tropical fruits, namely mango and passionfruit, and remains juicy and ripe while having a reduced/syrupy quality to them, just on the border of rotten (Think of Night Flyer by Olympic Orchids). About 10 minutes in, this herbal note, myrrh and incense that peeks in the opening become a lot more intense, and this harmony between the meditative temple notes and the sweet and ripe juicy notes is where this fragrance shines. It remains fruity without getting overly sweet and sickly, but the eastern edge is not too jarring for western audiences as well. Near the end of this fragrance, the fruitiness dissipates and you are left with the myrrh and incense notes that I personally enjoy. Only complaints I have with this fragrance, however, is that the white florals promised were barely prominent in the first 20 minutes, and the fragrance as a whole doesn't last that long (5 hours on average in my experience.)

Aroon Sawat (What a cute name! 😍) is absolutely fascinating. Marian plum and pomelo are very present to me. It is warm, golden, like first morning rays of sunshine that gently kiss your face before your bf/gf. First sniff, I was transported to a golden rice field at dusk with a scenery of forest mountains back in Thailand. It really does give me the sense of the harvest, fertility of the Earth & the goddess Demeter. I am also surprised no one has ever compared it to Miller Harris Lumière Dorée. They illustrate a similar idea and tone, though LD has more citrusy, herbaceous and bitter quality, whereas AS is more fruity, warm, comforting and cheerful. Who would not like Aroon Sawat?

Ohhh, I really love this. The dry down feels a bit masculine on me but truth be told I'm not really sure if this actually "unisex" at all. It smells like a very modernized Classical Lady white floral with some oriental characteristics. It's very nostalgic to me in a way I can't really place. It feels kind and welcoming. I'm not sure how I feel about wearing this in the summer personally. Could also be biased since I'm sampling in the winter.

Wonderfully blended, with a lovely harmony between notes. The opening is very incense heavy, with lots of supporting woodiness, which dies down to a more fruity/woody tuberose. It is definitely an intense scent, however it is the most unique one I have smelled thus far, and I would 100% recommend it if you love incense.

My nose is getting a more elegant, complex, floral and unisex, but less bold and loud version of Lapidus Pour home. That is the sillage, up close they smell more different.
