‘Artificial Intelligence is a balance between the strongness of amber & oakmoss, contrasted by powdery notes and sublimed with Moroccan rose absolute, myrrh, resinous notes and sandalwood Tazmania oil. The hyperrealistic expression of amber turns into a natural and luminous aesthetic airy composition. Artificial Intelligence is a fragrance where the elements are contrasted like opposite forces. A composition evokes complex emotions at once, as if designed by artificial intelligence’ – Seven Gates

To be honest, I had some trouble writing down thoughts on this one, as I felt it was a very transparent, molecular-style scent on my skin; not what I was expecting based on the notes, which suggest a heavier type of scent. Instead I got mostly a ozonic sweet wood, like a mix of ambroxan and iso-e-super or timbersilk. A sugared forest, mossy and a bit sharp at first. Hard to describe or figure out as it didn’t make much of an impression. What I did smell was pleasant however, but wearing like ‘second skin’ like. It moved from the harsher opening into a soft, spicy woody vibe that was overall nice. I was missing something from this one though
