This fragrance is a bold blend of sweet, leathery, and animalic tones, centered around the rich, honeyed warmth of Laotian oud. Its deep, smoky character is lifted by the bright, citrusy-spiced facets of elemi resin, adding a lively spark to the opening. Saffron enhances the oud’s leather-like nuances, while velvety woods, including the subtly sweet Atlas cedar, bring depth and warmth. A refined patchouli note introduces an earthy richness, perfectly complementing the oud’s intensity. The result is a sophisticated and multi-layered scent that is both powerful and alluring...

This is really lovely. I prefer the absolut version to the original as I don’t get the strong rather peppery, bitter marigold note that I do in the original. This version is sweeter than the OG, very citrusy and fresh on the opening with a soft musky, slightly smoky undertone.
I’m currently on the hunt for a church/incense fragrance. This is incredibly smoky but fresh, dark but attractive, and so seductive. Every time I wear this, I feel like I’m being lured into an ancient castle by a vampire to become a bloody sacrifice. It’s haunting, the metallic note isn’t very pungent but god that incense is so beautiful.
It’s dark, hypnotic, yet hauntingly beautiful. I would definitely buy a full bottle of this, though I’d say it’s more of a vampiric scent than Van Py Rhum given the metallic and mineral notes.
