How does everyone FIND this elusive fragrance?? It is impossible to find it online. Believe me, I have looked!! *pout*

Reminds me of L'eau de Kasaneka, only warmer. Notes are similar.

I bought it yesterday!

On my skin this perfume is perfect oriental-woody aroma. The hand of Christopher Sheldrake is seen immediately:
it opens very sharp-resinous (a bit like aroma of wood glue with aromatic oils - almost like "technical smell", but... you better wait half an hour!)
Many different spices, cardamon is quite strong. For me cardamon is very pleasant, reminds the Arabian coffee with cardamon. Some fruits and flowers. The body is dense, warm, sweet-spicy, like meadow honey.
On me it lasts all day long, but it is very intimate and tender. I'm very happy with this perfume. In my opinion, this is one of the best of the oriental-woody perfumes.

seems a little like Opium by YSL.

It's beautiful at first, but the dry down on my skin is terrible - smells like playdough and cumin, and some fruits. I've heard so many great things about this perfume and I was very sure I'd love it, but it doesn't work for me. I adore the idea and the initial spray, though. When it's first sprayed, you get so many separate notes, especially ginger, cedar, and plum, but a couple minutes later it just starts to form into a big mess where you can't pick the notes. I like that it is a bit masculine and it isn't soft and warm. It's spicy and demanding. Wish I was able to wear it!

This beautiful fragrance is in Sheldrake style - warm and sweet, very complex and sophisticated, like most of Lutens perfumes.

I have been a Shiseido fan for a long time at least 20 years. I have had this fragrant in the past, but preferred the old Murasaki better since it discontinued. I am saving up money to buy Shiseido Zen.
