SuperScents

I was so hyped after reading the extensive reviews here about how complex this fragrance is. I even blind-bought a bottle because I couldn't find samples anywhere. Now that I've smelled it, I'm let down. This is just a grassy, aromatic skin scent. On first spray you're hit with a dose of leather, but that dies down right away. I have to put my nose to my skin to smell anything. The scent doesn't come across as anything groundbreaking or unusual. It's not even risky to wear. It just smells like you're walking through ferns in the summertime. The modern, industrial, futuristic branding doesn't match the scent at all. The scent is like a watered down version of Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Cipresso di Toscana. Fragrance-Net is currently selling this for $56. I wouldn't pay anything more than that.

Update: This has grown on me. Initially I was thrown off by how familiar the smell was. It smells like driving through a forested, dry dirt road in the summertime; the scent-ification of the song "Ventura Highway" by America. However, I've noticed lately that the fragrance shape-shifts back and forth between a grassy-aromatic scent and that of sharp industrial chemicals, like paint. This explains why the marketing is industrial-focused, with a lot of nature photography. It's like you're painting a white picket-fence on a hot sunny day.

Definitely a good fragrance for the summertime, for days when it's 70+ degrees and you're walking around in nature.

اگه بخوام حال و هوای دقیق این عطر رو شرح بدم باید بریم سراغ یک کارگردان دوست داشتنی که اتفاقا هموطن گزا شان هم هست.
توی فیلم بال های آرزو ساخته ویم وندرس بزرگ  فرشتگانی وجود دارن که مراقب مردمان شهر برلین هستن
یکی از این فرشتگان که دامیل نام داره از فرشته بودن خسته میشه و تصمیم می گیره بخاطر عشق به یک زن بندباز و تجربه لذت های زمینی تبدیل به یک انسان معمولی بشه دست بر قضا اولین جای که فرود میاد کنار یک دکه اس دامیل که همیشه آروزی چشیدن قهوه و طعم سیگار رو داشته با چنان ولعی قهوه رو مزه مزه می کنه و از تلخی قهوه و طعم توتون توی سرمای زیر صفر با مالیدن دستاش بهم لذت میبره که هر آدم عاشق قهوه و سیگار رو دچار یک نسخی مطلق میکنه
بودیکا وود هم دقیقا با بوی سبز چرب افسار گسیخته اش که از تریاک خام الهام گرفته آنچنان بر دم و باز دم مخاطبش تسلت پیدا میکنه که دیگه دل کندن ازش توی هوای سرد زمستونی غیر ممکن میشه. یه نسخی عجیب داره که جوون میده واسه مه گردی های شبونه

does anyone have a bottle of this to sell? PM me - I'm in the USA thanks

If you like ACT from Der Duft but want the animalics toned down a lil... try this

I could write a dissertation on this one, but I will spare all of you. Be that as it may, there is a lot to say about Boudicca Wode as it comes together incredibly so despite so many disparate elements. It also begs the question: what delineates natural from synthetic when it comes to scent? Here my left brain detects what I know are many synthetics, and my right brain is all in a flutter Bouddica Wode evokes in my mind, my memory. Natural doesn't necessarily mean "real" anymore than synthetic means "fake." Let me take you on a brief tour of this one...

Herbs and narcotic white florals are hedged by privet and boxwood, tart and pucker-lip berries staining the mouth and the nostrils, further and further into the woods and greens we go, yet we look below our feet and there's hot, fresh asphalt, we smell the hot sun baking it. Virginia Creeper crawling over the ground, its tell-tale five leaves, its tendrils curling around sinewy branches, embracing, just short of choking, a firm grip on the trees. English Ivy on the other hand, has been hacked away so as not to swallow the courtyard (and its groundskeeper), and it gives off a green, crunchy, damp aroma. There are bulbous bell peppers, crisp, saturated, undulating through prickly nettles and sticky weeds.

The green blends with mauve, puce, tints that signal ripeness, of fullness, and then there are shades of clay and brown. Psychedelic glowing cedar, huffing pencil sharpener and seeing the holy spirit kind of cedar, while concord grapes, elderberries, and chewing wood sorrel, pretending they are shamrocks, that's what I feel as we enter the core of Boudicca Wode. The summer fecundity of woodlands and greenery mingles with perspiration (cumin and saffron together lending a somewhat sour but addictive effect) and the magic of animal husbandry. Castoreum, musk, dirty daisies, tansy, teases one away from any idea that nature is immaculate.

This is Boudicca Wode in a nutshell. A perfect wear for near delirious hot summer days.

Wode is a waxy, animalic poppy plant that has a lush, heady, narcotic floral edge reminiscent of tuberose. It's full and plush, reminding me of a delicious body odor, yet very hard to pin down to a singular scent. I completely miss any water notes, and the mix of spicy and effervescent top notes are a faint, ambiguous impression of herbs. I could probably chalk it up to being well blended, but I was surprised that they didn't present themselves more. For that reason I wouldn't describe this as remarkably fresh, but you get impressions of something musky, earthy, and generally pleasing if you find it easy to lean into animalics. It's also not super heavy or enveloping so I could see it working in the heat. The more I smell it the more addicting it becomes, with it's creamy, oddly comforting mix of subtle tobacco, saffron, castoreum and sandalwood. One of those strange scents that capture a memory- either imagined or experienced, that's built around a fairy tale or favorite novel of adventure, where a road of wild grasses and plants marks your starting point.

One of my top 5 scents of any type. Bracingly fresh. Completely unique. Good lasting power. I won’t ever want to be without a bottle. In my mental shorthand I think of it as a lemon and leather composition but of course there’s no lemon. Very multifaceted beauty.

I've taken an interest in opium fragrances recently, however I just don't think it works as a base note. Any remnants of opium fade pretty quick in your left with a relatively boring and complicated green spicy scent.

Charlie Chaplin used Mitsouko (first fruity cyphre) as the perfume of choice after meeting Jacques Guerlain in Paris in 1921. This brought me on a journey into all kinds of original cyphres, Oriza Legrand, Grossmith Hasu-na-..., Coti, etc. From there I went into Rogue Perfumery, the new punk on the market who does not comply to health regulations but uses "the real stuff", oak moss, etc... Yet, in the end I realised that this is all too much for me. heavy, intoxicating smells. So I returned to my recent favourite, Geza Schoen's Molecule 01 + Mandarin. A fresh Mandarin to start with, only mono-mandarine, followed by the subtlest iso e super... hardly detectable, and in this way... contemporary /contemplative. And... I grabbed my bottle of Wode, another Geza Schoen and realised to my amazement: if you need a contemporary cyphre, that is shocking, sexy and complex all at once... Wode is it. This perfume from all perfumes I recently tested... is the essence of what cyphre is, in 2021.

aromaskanque

wow. crispy skanky pepper forest at first spray.

Sparkling development, then turning into white musk and pencil shavings and mossy earthy undertones and vegetal organic decay. It changes its environment, from beach to mossy forest floor. Human sweat, animalistic at it's core. Exhausted warrior resting on sand after a forest ambush.

Very original and refreshing. Hovers close to skin with mediocre projection. More of scent you wear as olfactory trigger for a place you go to visit. I will save this one for my upcoming trips/vacations. Great for outdoor/spring/summer/spring etc. Masculine in my opinion. Sprayed on skin, degrades very fast, more long live on fabric/clothes.

Celeria

Unusual and hard to describe.
First of all the bottle is beautiful, but a green tone would have been better, I think it fits more the juice inside.

This is green-woody-spicy, but in a uncommon way, it opens with a strong note of cumin , and a touch of saffron , I also get a anise-licorice vibe, but this is not mentioned in the huge note list, which must have been blended perfectly, since I can get only a few notes out of it, but which looks a bit random in a way.

The white tobacco and sandalwood become then the main notes to my nose, the smell becomes less chaotic and smoother as times goes, it's not a linear cologne.
There are definitely other notes , but the odd nature of this liquid confuses me and I'm not able to say exactly what they consist of. Opium ? I'm not familiar with this note , so I can't speak of it.

I was baffled in the opening, this smells definitely like something I know , but I was not able to see what exactly, then it came suddenly: this stuff smells really familiar with Chanel Égoïste in the opening, it's really close , it shares according to me the same dusty-woody accord , which must be sandalwood. I don't have a bottle of Égoïste, but I would love to smell them side by side , surprised than nobody mentioned it because it striked me. From what I recall, it also shares some similarities to Alien Man during the opening , they share a similar anise-licorice vibe that I can sense at the very opening, I don't know which notes are giving me this impression, Alien Man being sweeter and smokier though Imo.

The drydown comes quickly, it's smooth and really soft, it has a beachy-sandy vibe to it , and makes me think of Dior Dune for men , in some ways, that could be the combination of sandalwood and water notes accords. Drydown is my favourite part , but is really shy on my skin , I should try to spray on my clothes to see if it helps a bit. My nose has to work on it , it smells challenging in a way, but not hard to wear.
Smells like a journey for me : the opening would be the part where you're sitting next to a campfire in a forest, near your lodge. The mid would be the part where you decide to go the beach, packing your bag, and the drydown would be the part where you're almost arrived to the beach, walking through sand dunes.

After reading so many reviews raving about how ‘unique’ and many saying it’s a waste of time I finally decided to make a blind purchase as it is not sold in Australia.

Soooo.... does it live up to any of the hype... well, yes! I’m not sure it’s quite that ‘life changing’ but then again I am admittedly spoilt.

So, perspective is required. Let me start with the experience.

Green, skanky, Illicit, musty, sweet, forest.

A green herbal, somewhat opium/cannabis opening, tinged with a sweet syrupy urinic vibe (the urinic stage quickly softens to inoffensive) quickly settles over 15 minutes revealing a tidal wave of notes all mixed in - there is so much going on - nose to skin I can pick it amazingly apart as per the note table though I strong disagree with the strength of some votes.

What makes this successful is the balance - beyond the first 30 minutes the impression of denim jacket loaded with a packet of weed and an old packet of cigarettes softens enough that a keen nose might still conjure that image though many would just as likely think it’s just an unusual herbal scent. There in is the fun. The fact that blonde Tabacco and a mish mash of damp spices with the impression Of said person with jacket is leaning against a cedar tree in a green forest is still pretty amazing that that can be conveyed.

So yes, it is a scent that you probably want to try whether you like it or not. For me I still think Norne by Slumberhouse and Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles (and even Profumum Arso) which conjure up similar feelings of a Goth or Occult like rocker in Black with a herbal forest like perfume head nodding at a Cure concert do it better and are great offers for virginal noses wanting something left field - this I think is more about shock value with the opium connotations. Still it’s definitely up there.

I will happily wear this but it is very much not for business or formal occasions - it would no doubt likely make a lot of people either move away in embarrassment or attract people asking if you have any to spare lol. It may be challenging for some, but when I’m at a pub or off to a Nick Cave concert I’ll gladly pour it on...

Fresh87a

I just got this perfume after reading alot about it. A blind purchase it is exactly like the escentric molecule 04. Can feel the white tobacco that is standing out otherwise 95% similar to escentric molecule 04

Aks

I agree with MjrS..This is what happened with me. I ordered blind. It arrived. I used it for a day. Got mesmerised by the strength & the smell. I came back home. Ordered a backup bottle. I used it on hot summer Days. It smell like iced green chilli like herbal to me..in a good way..wonderful way. Must have.

C-Sauce

I’m aware of the blue dye named woad, but the spelling in this case is interesting. “Wode“ means “mad“ or “crazy” in Old and Middle English. I think the point is that the tribal warriors painted their faces when they went into battle and became crazy with fury. “Wode” in the sense of battle rage is similar in meaning to “berzerk” (from the Norse “berserker”). Or maybe I’m completely mistaken about the significance of the spelling.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around why Boudicca and her army of barbarians would inspire a fragrance that smells like hairy green tomato vines. I would have called this one “Garden Hands.” It’s very pleasant, but do I want to smell like this? I think it would be complementary during the summer while I’m working in the garden. I often wear Clive Christian X while gardening because of its prominent rhubarb and orris root notes. It augments the experience of being among earth and vegetation. Boudicca Wode could fit well into my summer gardening rotation. It’s certainly the most vegetable-green niche perfume I’ve ever smelt. Buyer beware: greenhouse effect.

This isn’t Geza’s best work. This shimmering green formula can be detected lurking in the base notes of his more well-rounded creations, such as Black Gold, Ormond Man, and of course CC X. Boudicca Wode smells as though he stripped these kaleidoscopic masterpieces down to their denuded green accords. One feels that there is something missing. It certainly lacks charm.

This is the most exciting sample I've tried all year. It is amazing. Fresh, peppery, and aromatic. It's the pepper that stands out to me, a little like a bell pepper or maybe a Serrano. It sounds a bit odd, I suppose, to want to smell like a green pepper, but I find it so unusual and pleasing to my nose. This is a definite must-have for me.

patrickBOOTH

The top notes are very bright, almost medicinal and at first slightly cloying, however they burn off to what I can only describe as green bell pepper with a touch of smoke. Having this on reminds me of the nose of a young, bright Chinon.

xvxmatthewxvx

it opens fresh, sweet, fruity, woody, pine, wood varnish, spicy, slightly pissy

then the heart is a savory spice cupboard, herbs, mahogany, cinnamon, caraway, I occasionally noticed something resembling rose in it

not bad, my spouse enjoyed it on me...

3 sprays, medium projection lasting 3-4 hours

ConsumerThis

FLAT OUT AMAZING! I just got a lucky scent sample, but my first impression is YES, Fresh, slightly citrus and woooooddddds to die for. So pleasing and lasts a good time on skin. this just smells awesome i dont know what else to say.

CodyHowl

You have probably never smelled anything like this before.

After first spray I was wowed, but couldn't accurately pin down the opening; lemon? Must be the bergamot. Bubbly, like soda. Then saffron? And that's definitely juniper. There's the sage, and the cedar... After a few moments it has become woodsy, and- wet! And as fresh as a cold breeze, and inky, and sweet.

This is not a linear fragrance. This is instead a swirling vortex where none of the notes ever truly step out of frame. In fact, this isn't a fragrance at all. It's a magic blue crystal, and I didn't spray it, I've cast a spell. I have opened a portal to Álfheimr, the Elven realm of Norse myth right in my bedroom, but cannot see it, only smell its presence.

'Wode' is an olfactory journey on LSD. Sterile, natural, herbal, electric, and comforting all at once. I want to say this is my new favorite woody fragrance, usurping the former title-holder 'Sugi' by Comme des Garcons, except this fragrance defies categorization and refuses to be pigeonholed. Simply calling this fragrance woody- or any other one-word description- is a rude dismissal of all it manages to encompass.

I assure you, you have never smelled anything like this before.

What is this magic?? At first spray, I get a blast of juniper, cumin, and sage; it's very herbaceous, almost in a savory-food way. Then as it dries and warms on my skin, delicate, pungent notes of young tobacco, pepper, and sweet saffron. There's a lot going on here, but every note has its place in the greater symphony, which is—as other Fragranticans have noted—otherworldly. Spicy, herbal, aromatic, earthy, floral, all floating and intermingling on top of a fluffy cloud of... what? There's this effervescent background note holding everything together, it's almost leathery but also very light, something both floral and mineral and somehow narcotic. Is this the opium note that is listed? I'm not sure, but it's quite remarkable. As the scent develops, it becomes drier, sweet-and-sour, almost fruity, yet still floral. The angelica and woods break through the opium clouds, and the sage and cumin get stronger. I'd class this with L'air du desert marocain and 21 Costume National: nuanced, powerful, almost addictive postmodern fragrances. All-season and all-gender. A must-try, and probably a must-buy, too! :)

xDaKoTa1

This smells like an alien that just cut grass, at first I didn’t like it too much but then I thought of how crazy this must smell when it radiates off me, a head turner for sure

Angeldaisy

I'm in the damp forest with Alice and there's a pixy den of opium smoking elves just round the corner, behind the man wearing leather protective trousers, whilst wielding a freshly oiled chainsaw.
there's a blue inky note in there that makes me think the pixies are dying the red roses to trick us.

Andy the Frenchy

Wow. Just wow.

First time I smell such a fragrance. Simply magic.
The note pyramid is slightly unaccurate (no white, but blonde tobacco - and in my opinion more a tobacco flower than dried tobacco; hemlock -the main note here- is missing), but it doesn't matter. No it doesn't matter, because at the exception of hemlock, opium, tobacco and a hint of cumin, it is impossible to spot single notes. This is a blend, a magical potion of which only druids from magic forest have the recipe (... and probably Geza Schoen also).

I agree with MjrS: for me also it was a blind buy. And me also I want a backup bottle immediately (I never buy backup bottles usually).
I also agree with minkarcade: this is how Zelda's forest smells.

Unisex leaning slightly masculine imo. Ok performance.
Fall/Spring days, 25/50yo. (Only for those who have magic superpowers)

Simply stunning creation.


Edit: this is a fresher, slightly more refined and complex version of Atelier Cologne Tobacco Nuit. I'd suggest this Wode for the day, and TN for evenings.

minkarcade

You just turned on the TV screen, a zap of electricity singes the dust on the screen and you queue up The Legend of Zelda.
This must be made up of those sneaky, intriguing lab molecules if it's concocted by Geza but it smells so amazingly naturalistic, like being in an ancient forest, damp mists rolling over the forest floor, moss, and cold clean crystal water tumbling over rocks in a nearby stream. Many here say it's a big swarming scent but I find it to be a very beautifully subtle skin scent, ever changing, well blended, it really is superb. It doesn't have that overwhelming permeating quality found with most leathers, nor the cloying sweaty sourness characteristic of so many "masculine" frags. I think unisex is quite apt. I would wear the fuck outta this and join a tribe of Amazons in a heartbeat.

MjrS

This is... something you buy blind because there are no samples sold in your country, and when it arrives, you see that you have to order a backup bottle immediately, even though it's not something you expected, not even something that you thought you'd love... and you don't, but...

Yes, this is something that requires a lot of ellipses in its review because... Just because. It's not like there's enough words in any language that I speak to describe it. It's not another "10/10, OMG, DA PARFUM OF DA CENTUREE" or something, neither it's anywhere in the bad department. It's just something out of this world. Alien, elven, eldar... whatever fictional dainty race you may choose, this would be about it.
Accords? Woody, herbal, green, very natural and yet surreal. Unisex? Maybe; any gender you like as long as it's male; in my eyes, any woman wearing this would immediately become gender-less or grow a package on the spot.

With that said, I'm going to order another bottle of this outworldly stuff immediately. Because...

GRAF

This is probably the best creation of all the futuristic houses I know. The best from Escentric Molecules, the best from Zarkoperfume and the best from NU_BE One Of Those. 

Its unique characteristic is the ability to transforms timelessly on the skin. It feels it has dozens of layers. It's very spicy, woody, slightly smoky, resinus, aromatic, fresh spicy, warm and relaxing, suitable for year round use except extreme low/high temperatures. Today we have 28 °C and it feels OK. But it will shine in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C imo. It leans to masculine scents imo.

Starts with citruses and a beautiful cumin note. After that comes the juniper and the sage. Then I get black pepper and cedarwood. One after the other emerges and it changes continously. Then comes the corriander and the angellica. After that comes the saffron with mild styrax, mild leather and mild moss. Later emerges the white tobacco with the mild amber and the musk. I also get mate tea. The rose is at the background very discreet. OK, it's annoying describing it every minute, you get the point. The dominant notes throughout the whole blend are :

Strong opium, safe and nice smelling cumin, cedar, black pepper. The scent feels very spicy so you must love spices. 

Sillage is moderate. The projection starts heavy and it calms into a moderate. Longevity is/must be somewhere 6-7 hours, I'm still evaluating it. Definitely it's not weak and it's not a beast. It feels safe and modern.

What can I say, it was a nice surprise from a futuristic house. I love it!

rjf

I'm pretty sure this is the version of Wode that I got as a sample from LuckyScent. It was definitely the blue bottle.

I get whiffs of leather and damp forest, which dries down to dry spice and smoke. It's an intriguing, pleasant maybe.

Emski777

There is a very specific mood for me with this fragrance - it is sharp and green and aptly named for it is fierce. I wear this mood for its spikes and yet also that intriguing sense of 'what is that?'. That's what I look for in any perfume I guess. There is something pure about it. Although it's a unisex smell I feel that it is strong feminine, but it is certainly not pretty. I love it, but only on certain days. Other days it's a definite no. It's a good one to own FOR those days!

experifragrance

A masterpiece of olfactory alchemy. The poor sillage and longevity don't bother me because its an ephemeral scent that would have been destroyed by the addition of ambroxan or some other dank compound to artificially extend its life.

rbalkris

A beautiful, mysterious and intoxicating fragrance. Not for the faint hearted, it has a spicy projection, changing all the time. A very erotic masculine leaning modern creation that is as challenging as it is sensual.

Ape Wilson

A cold, bitter, intoxicating and slightly sweaty experience, like playing League of Legends ranked.

witchinghour

brutal, forbidding, cold, but also jaw-dropping. i blind bought this. at first spray I wondered if I made a mistake purchasing, but like another reviewer, I caught a trace of it wafting from my clothes later and was startled by that "something" a perfectly composed perfume always has... this perfume opens with harsh metallic and medicinal notes that thankfully calm down. the drydown is beautiful (but not "pretty") and reminiscent of an evergreen forest in the mountains: packed dirt, snow, fallen needles, juniper. sniffing my wrist I am reminded of the aesthetic ideal of the "sublime", a term generally used in the 19th century to describe a rugged landscape that evokes feelings of the viewer's insignificance and fragility in the face of true wilderness. not to be dramatic but this perfume evokes that kind of feeling. this perfume is cliffs and height and leaves on the ground. wild scent. my October go-to perfume at the moment-- I feel disappointed if I forget to put it on before leaving the house. still, not for everyone.

desordenado

My first thought after sampling - nettle juice. And I understand that of course no nettle isn`t there, but in general the dominance of violent herbs in the pyramid (sometimes not very accommodating) creates a burning and angry, frowning image of flavor.
Information from the official (rather psychedelic) site Boudicca Wode:
"Cosmic rays make salt fluoresce in day-glo green and hot-wax lemon (colours in the spectrum of phosphorus and kryptonite), even a blue, like backlit curaçao ..."
Also, in the description of the odor present a gloomy forest, ice crystals, the ancient tribes of Britain, altazimuth, harlequin thunderstorm and oniric aquarium. And woad dyeing plant (woad) from which the British navy received the extract that was used for application to the skin before the battles here appears, and played a key role in choosing the color of the flacon.
Someone here will need explanatory dictionary to translate all these paradoxical combinations, but do not worry, vague description given by the manufacturer have the only purpose that it was not clearly deciphered.
The same situation is on this side of the screen - deciphering the pyramid I heard fast notes that familiar to culinary cumin, saffron, sage tart and unfamiliar opium which I'm sure smells like this and not otherwise. Maybe angeltears datura, tobacco, leather and a little musk.
At the start it`s a sharp and indistinct - similar to the mix of drug/herb tablets, herbal and spicy later.
The sillage can be pretty annoying - from one application in my wrist from me smelled (as it seemed to me) does not poorly. The same applies to resistance. Hold for a long time, at least at the end close to the skin as well as all the Molecules. On clothes - infinite; crawling to the skin from clothes again. Funny small animal ...
Regarding it ruthlessness I can say - yes, there is. But in my opinion it can be ruthless and to the owner, for this reason need to be accurate with the frequency of use and at a dosage of application. It must "die down" after the rest of the olfactory pleasures. Like harlequin thunderstorm pass through your nose and brain and wash away the superfluous and superficial.
In my opinion it is more suitable for daily use because the evening can cause strange associative array. And for men will certainly be more appropriate because not every girl can resist this strong cloud and wants to smell like Amazon got out from the bushes at the side of the road.

swade

I ordered a sample of this from Lucky Scent, mostly because of the musk, leather, sandalwood, and blonde tobacco notes. Unfortunately, on me all the top notes drown out the notes I was interested in. After an hour or two it because almost ozonic and quite austere. I was looking for a warm scent and on me this wasn't it.

Trevo

I've wanted to test this since I heard about it originally in the spray can.

I tested it the other day for the first time. But I wasn't impressed but then a few days later the top I was wearing when I tested it I putting in to wash. I smelt it. I couldn't believe it. But it smelt different.

I went back and tried again. It was a totally different smell.

I actually really love the scent now and I think it will be the next one on my list. It last and changes so well. I think I was a bit over zealous spraying it second time fond as it lasted all day without fading. So I think one spray to the chest is enough.

AndrzejK

Boudicca Wode is a modern, contemporary and sophisticated perfume, changing beautifully on the skin all the time.

It is a fragrance with deep yet optimistic darkness, a fragrance with a rich and very sensual glow.

Wode includes raw opium beautifully blended with saffron and tuberose, as well as musk and ambergris combined with jasmine, white tobacco and cumin. It is very sensual.

This fragrance was in Greece with me - it will remind me of the beautiful time there.
