OSCENT WHITE ALEXANDRE J Eau de Parfum

This is all about a woody, spicy patchouli with tiny traces of sandalwood and very mild musk. Low-moderate projection, good longevity and moderate sillage. Leans to masculine scents. This is not a new smell for me.

Ohh yumm yumm! Deep, natural wood, super realistic patch and resinous nectars oozing from the sides of the trees. Also the earthiness, you can smell the freshly rained on, fertile soil. Reminds me of being in Sequoia national park, where you can smell all the greens flowers woods and resins in the air. Might not be sequoia wood, but that is where this takes me. Strongly fragrant and musky. Love this.

*Very* assertive, but strikingly complex, beautifully deep dark woody stuff, full of gorgeously true-to-life resin and sap and all things dusky and musky and fine. It is not at all shy about its coniferous roots so if even a hint of pine sharpness puts you off, this may not suit. But for the first few hours it is moodily magnificent. Labdanum hangs on and sharpens and darkens even more after 6h, and it might feel a bit too skanky and musty for some at this stage. For me this is exhilaratingly dark, but it will be polarising and could go disastrously wrong if the skin chemistry doesn't work ... try, and on skin, before you buy with this one, for sure.

Usually i am able to detect some of the perfume ingredients specially in the base note , but really the perfume attracted me with its weirdness in a way i didn't know what it may contain until i discover through fragrantica that Gurjan Balsam is part of it , and which i am not familiar with . Anyhow the perfume is super nice , touching the soul , elegant and balmy , you may think Aoud is existing in it . my favorite from this house with "Le Royal".
