Fragrantica - "Very modern and clean, with a prominent sweetness and smokiness. I love how it blended, you can definitely feel most the ingredients and their quality. It doesn’t smell synthetic by any means. The sweetness here is quite gooey and slightly animalic, I would say that it reminds me of dates (I didn’t check the pyramid before testing it, it was an initial association)) and some Eastern desserts that contain honey and nuts. Beautiful!"
Fragrantica - "In one word - beautiful! This fragrance composition is very beautifully crafted??. At first, it somewhat reminds me of its predecessor- OM, but only at the beginning. Then, the scent unfolds quite differently. The first thing I noticed is that the composition sounds much softer, the oud is quite delicate, and I think it could be liked even by those who are not familiar with ouds. The resinous facets are also quite noticeable, making the fragrance rather viscous and cozy. I also detect sweetness in this scent, but the sweetness is very delicate. I can't pinpoint exactly what gives this sweetness because the pyramid is extensive, and it's not easy to isolate individual notes since the fragrance is quite cohesive. At the same time, there is a certain airiness in the fragrance that adds lightness to its sound. I think this fragrance will be equally good in both warm and cold seasons. It's currently 27 degrees outside, and I can say that the composition is not heavy and lacks unnecessary loudness. Definitely the most wearable oud in the line! I think a large of fragrance lovers will adore it"
Fragrantica - "The opening is similar to Oud Maracuja, but after a bit, it becomes different. The combination of caramel, fruits, sugar, and some vanilla is amazing! I expected it to be a lot sweeter, but it is very well blended. At the time of writing this, most of the longevity votes are for ‘eternal,’ and it indeed is eternal! I had 5 sprays on me, and it still blasts 8+ hours later… Definitely a masterpiece from Maison Crivelli!"
Fragrantica - "Nostalgic for some reason? There’s something here that gives me memories of fall and winter during my childhood. Freshly grated nutmeg. Slight incense smoke. The dates and dried fruit read as tobacco. Backbone of a little medicinal oudiness. All of my jackets are going to smell like this once it’s weather appropriate. The sillage is pretty crazy, so go easy on the atomizer. A single spray on a tester strip and it scented my room for the night. On skin, it doesn’t seem to be too loud."
Fragrantica - "This is the most balanced Maison Crivelli oud perfume to date in my opinion. I love Oud Maracuja but it can be slightly overbearing. This on the other hand has such a sublime dry down, the oud becomes smokey and the vanilla lingers over the top of it."
