Boring boring boring sample after sample and then you finally come across one that stands out and takes the mike in an authoritative way and then beauty comes forth. I am so enthralled with D.S. Durga other offering that I put this on hold, but this is worthy to land apart and be brought forth into the world. Bright yummy lovely sillage. 15 minutes in resins show up and act as an ensemble. Okay I am still loving this I haven’t looked at notes yet I will do that on second wearing. This is a lovely fragrance. This is a reason I rush to test released because you smell something like this and you just want to own it in fear of it being changed which is unfortunate. This is high class elegance tuxedo style and a little attitude at the same time. So back to that attitude gunmetal on here and IG brought up mosquito coil and it is there ever so faintly what a note to hide away and kiss us with. This is an example of how to use Patchouli in new ways. I am so impressed with this house. They are just picking and choosing notes and playing them perfectly with such delicate care. I now have to go and dig into past releases. When you fly through samples like this it is so easy to really see who stands above everyone else. D.S. & Durga not because of anything buy your juice you now have my attention. Dries down into a sweet Antique shop. Yes this is a perfect day to antique if your into that or better yet for me to drive and discover a new small town and all of it’s hidden treasures. This perfume is like that, it is for that. The smell is so familiar with a touch of modern which is the point isn’t it?
