Top top note.
The real beauty in this composition are really the top notes: bergamot, and orange-like citrus and cardamom, with a great vibrant patchouli note added soon after
the start. The drydown is more floral with a rose and carnations; this is all rich, green, and very well blended. This first stage lasts for the first four hours.
The base notes, however, mainly oakmoss, leather, benzoin and a bit of amber, are less colorful and a bit thinner in my skin. The moss is quite restrained and
neither shrill nor screechy. Good silage and projection, and very good longevity of seven hours. A good take on the chypre theme.
3.75/5
