Not for sissies
An entrance on the scene that awakens the senses. You are intoxicated by a huge sprinkle of ginger as soon as you press the atomizer, which is followed by the bitter scent of an orange whose peel stands out. The bergamot somehow tries to add freshness, but it doesn't do it that much. After five minutes, this opening fades and the civet makes its way imposing its presence, not in an ultra animalic way. Contemporary in the background, the presence of anise plays a contrasting role. This fragrance is first and foremost animalic, it is not suitable for children or women who jump for joy when they smell vanilla, ambroxan or gourmand perfumes. It befits a hard man, who, just as he splits wood, also splits bones if someone endangers what he loves. Once the anise note has disappeared, next to the civet smell, for part of the development, I smell a bit of incense, which is not in the official list. About an hour and a half after opening, a light nuance, probably sandalwood and amber, adds complexity, tries to mitigate the animalic note, which however does not lose its strength.
