Bought it on first smelling at the airport. It starts out intriguingly, the citrus is not as out front as a top note, but is subtly undercutting this unique atmospheric note that reminds me of charcoal and suede. There is black shiny leather in there, too, but the Iris and incense are not something I detect. There is nothing lush or amber about this perfume; it's dry, clean, not cindery smoky but charcoal-like dark, and- here was the disappointment for me - ultimately masculine. The dry down does not live up to to the promise of the opening. IT seems to me that within fifteen minutes or so it just starts smelling like a generic men's "aftershave" splash kind of smell- a sort of soapy fougere. Once that tantalising charcoal atmospheric is gone, there is not much else to it. It really does not last on my skin. Gone in an hour or so, which isn't a bad thing, as I only like the first spray of it. Wish I had lived with it a bit more before forking out the money, but the opening is so unusual.
This is staggeringly good. Leather, incense, vetiver all finely blended producing a relatively subtle yet good projection and longevity aroma gradually becoming more smoky and woody over time. This is the best leather incense fragrance I have tried bearing in mind I like something that is wearable and takes on the character of the wearer rather than owns the wearer. Signature scent territory. Leans masculine. Fragrance: 8.5/10 Projection: 8/10 Longevity: 8/10
I adore this scent. It's splendidly dark and unisex - mixing oud, leather, powdery notes and vanilla in a glorious cloud. The iris and vetiver keep it interesting, but everything is suspended in perfect equilibrium. A little sweet, a little spicy. It is the very best scent I've found to wear with a leather jacket.
It makes the difference not to put oud in the name. Most brands would call this oud and rose or something along those lines. Left alone notes can be judged for what they actually are or how they make one feel. Those who probably would not go for oud type fragrance may have a go at this by chance,which is good. As with all Miller Harris colonias don't expect too much
Magnific..9/10
