What wearers say
“Smooth, ambery and creamy woods with some sweetness from Tonka. Not fig forward. As someone said in the comments, does Remind me of rice pudding initially.Poor sillage and lasting power. Quality is really good. Price per volume ratios is way too much in my opinion.”
“If fig+sandalwood automatically means gris charnel to you then yes, its close. I get much more fig from this. Id say its a cousin to gris charnel but not a brother.Performance is still a bit shy but its improving, 3 hours with good sillage. Dont think this will be a monster anytime but it might reach the 6-7 hour mark after some months.”
“Aromatic cardamom on rice milk pudding. Spicy and cosy. The scent is soft and sometimes you think it disappeared but nope, you still catch whiffs of it. A mood of taking a walk at night in the woods. If you're a fan of Frederic Malle fragrances, you'll like this one. Normally Arabian fragrances are too strong for me, but Ajmal's are an exception.”
