Mirsaal of Trust

8/10 Scent = 2.5/3 Performance = 2.5/3 Wearability = 2/3 Value = 1/1 This is a solid fragrance. It really does remind of a shoe polish at first, the drydown gets better - it is quite interesting leathery fragrance with decent amount of inkiness in the middle. Smells expensive for sure.

A lot like TF ombre leather but with a lot of ambroxan over it. Performance is terrific. Fully unisex. My wife who normally vears sweet rosey and white floral scents wore this and loved it. Raspberry makes it so feminine on her skin. Try it girls.

Falls somewhere between Tom Ford Tuscan Leather and Ombre Leather, with notes of raspberry, leather, musk, woods. It is not quite as sweet or strong as those, but it is really good stuff, especially considering the price. Performance is pretty good, I get 4-6 hours of good projection, and can smell it all day on my skin or clothes. Now a word about the presentation, it is stunning. The box is excellent quality, heavy duty blue cardboard with a matching sleeve, printed with a silver middle eastern pattern. There is a little hang tag in the box with the story and meaning of Mirsaal in the box. And that bottle !! It may be a little awkward to hold and use, but it looks absolutely unique. It is like an old fashioned pen and inkwell, or perhaps a sealing wax stamp. I have never seen a cap like this, tall and solid, made of metal with a faux deer antler. Super nice, waaayy beyond what most niche houses give for 10x the price Quality is top notch. It is quite the presentation piece for any collection. The presentation may just supercede the juice inside... I highly recommend this for any fragrance enthusiast. Price is excellent, you won't be disappointed.

super sweet. For me, the sweetness is the main accord. My husband likes & wears it, his father despises it, his mother loves it so much she wants to take it from him. I would say this is definitely feminine, not even "leaning", but really feminine. But it does not make it worse in any kind of way. It is beeaaautiful fragrance, prominent raspberry, but I don't get vetiver top notes that much. Leather is quiet. Amber takes all the cake. I would rather not use it in the summer, for me it is to heavy and syrupy for hot weather. The bottle is very very nice. The box was better than most of my other fragrances. And the price was very very good! 1000% worth every cent.

A linear, spicy/woody scent that reminded me of a pretentious and over-assertive bad boy wannabe — think fedoras, smokey cabarets and the like. It is absolutely pungent on first application, and I was hoping that there would be a bit of a journey with it, but it dried down within the hour and just started lingering on my skin in a somewhat smokier, but still rather shrill, version after about 20 minutes. I didn’t detect any raspberry, which is a shame, as I felt the scent absolutely needed a little something-something to blend it out (this, I imagine, is the appeal of Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather, which this is compared to but that I haven’t had a chance to try). I ended up layering it with some sandalwood (Adam Levine For Women) to give it a little sandalwood oomph, and it actually was an interesting combination that makes me think my 3ml sample of Mirsaal of Trust won’t go to waste. On its own, however, this is a no-go for me. Edit: While I still haven't smelled Tuscan Leather, on a night out recently my friend wore Rose Malaki by Chopard, and it smelled amazing, smoky but with a prominent rose note that really tied it together. It immediately reminded me of Mirsaal of Trust -- but sadly, of what *could* have been.
