TT - Guerlain - Encens Mythique D'Orient

~ originally published December 3rd, 2012 ~


Perfumer's Notes: aldehydes with neroli, moss, saffron, persian rose, ambergris & musk 


My Impressions: oriental, woody, cedar. not high, not too low, very middle. a hint of licorice/anise, a bit powdery, like sandalwood


ten minutes: intriguing. it doesn't instantly make me feel like I NEED it, but there's something about it...there's an almost metallic, iron-y hint, like ozone in a lightening storm


twenty minutes: settling into itself. same profile with a dusting of powder


an hour: still beautifully woodsy & powdery, with that slight metallic tang


two hours: incense smoke rising in a holy place. contemplative & serene


two and a half hours: maintaining rich smoking incense. a keeper. it's crawled under my skin & plans to stay there
