>’A smell that brings to life Hemingway’s bullfighting, marlin-chasing madness and reminds you of the sweaty Strauss days of rough love and worn leather out on the road. A rich chocolatey smoky leather oud often compared to the infamous Tigerwood Royale. Indulge in the glory of an Oud that breathes out the resinous ooze of old-school Sumatran agar, bathed in the nose-piercing green incense of walla. What’s best is how this intoxicating brew works with your skin and brings to life your own natural pheromonal aroma, just like on that day on the boat with the marlin hanging high, when you biked home after. That’s what good perfumes ought to do. Get ready to bask in its complexity and enjoy the ride.’ – Lucky Scent
‘Skittles and bleach and copper and cedar and frankincense in leather. The evaporation really works, the dispersion on my skin although it doesn’t last as long as an oil has a lightness that I haven’t ever experienced with Agarwood. The function of alcohol is the opposite of what I expected vs an oil. Lighter with a dispersion more like smoke in its airiness. I could see myself developing a preference for Agarwood in this form. Perhaps because I’m an American? Cheeky name. For American palettes? I can’t help wondering about the alchemy. That opening reeks of a distillation and not a tincture. It seems to have 2 phases the first is the medicinal phase the second the wood. – PersonelHigh
