Game Palace Of Hell Master Night from the house of Ys-Uzac. A difficult composition to wrap your head around and a chronological continuation of its predecessor, Dawn. I feel that my understanding of it was attributed to a large degree by having a good experience with the latter. The two perfumes are part of the same o...

Read review →Perfume compositions like this made me realize that chasing down vintage perfumes is futile. When I started collecting perfumes I went through a short "vintage chasing phase". Then stumbled upon Sultan Pasha and a few others from the independent realm and abandoned that ship. Angeliki is another example of such. Vintag...
Read review →Cuir de Russie Part II, Attar. As for the Attar, it is more to my taste. There is no powderiness that I can detect as it opens up immediately with the smokiness of the birch tar and then makes way for the polished leather accord. Second, the florals and the sweetness are dialed down and remain in the background. Even b...
Read review →Oud Luwak Part II, perfume Extrait. This was the biggest surprise for me, as I didn’t expect to like it. I didn’t enjoy the original, so I didn’t foresee things to be different this time around. I was wrong, as I love this version of Oud Luwak. It fills in the gaps, improves on the woods used, adds the perfect amount o...
Read review →Inverno Russo Part II, Attar. As for the Attar, this is the only composition in the set where I prefer the perfume over the pure oil. The scent profile is identical, but the attar, devoid of alcohol to push out the notes, lacks the gorgeous diffusiveness of the frankincense that makes this perfume special. It pushes of...
Read review →War and Peace Part II from Areej le Dore. Not a perfume, but rather a time machine. Much like its sibling and my other favorite from the 5th collection, Antiquity. These two are irreplaceable for me, and depending on the mood, either could rank as the number one ALD composition ever and certainly among my favorite perf...
Read review →Like most Areej le Dore perfumes, this one only improved for me and got better and better with time. I must say that I do prefer this version over the first one, as the white ambergris in here is very prominent, while it felt more dormant with the original one. Also, I prefer Atlantic Ambergris over Baikal Gris (the ot...
Read review →Oriscent Kyara Koutan. Another heavy-bodied and nose-numbing oil, in the veins of Royal Kinam V1, Kyara LTD, Pusong LTD, and Nha Trang LTD. I'd say it comes closer to Royal Kinam V1 than the others. Strong, medicinal, and bitter kinamic fumes that numb your senses and pierce through the cortex, down the spine, and in t...
Read review →Personally, I can't say that I find this version of Chinese Oud that similar to the first. It does have the exact same structure, and it eventually evolves into an almost identical scent, however, the Oud used here feels completely different to my nose in terms of profile, quality, and especially texture. My skin also...

Read review →L'Oudh from Tauer Perfumes. Hands down my favorite from the house and one of my favorite uses of oud in a more or less commercial offering on the market. The house is a hit or miss for me, but this little fellow hits the spot. To my nose, the perfume is not an oud-centric composition but rather uses the material to pul...
