The company says:

Galaor was a wandering knight and the servant of noble causes, and as such, considered to be amongst the most virtuous men of the European Middle Ages. Along with his brother Amadis, the Knight of the Green Sword, he won many battles against the Roman empire. When he was not fighting, this brave warrior was wooing Princess Briolania, who became his bride. He also enjoyed the refinements of Sobradin Castle, with its sweet delicacies and the scent of incense. Sometimes, he took part in celebrations where Urganda the sorceress would make offerings of enchanting balms.

Galaor, from the Lubin Aristia Collection, is my fourth try from the collection. Like Gajah Mada, I'd primarily describe it as a “sweet and spicy” balance, but with the smell of the outdoors as well as some foody ingredients, a similar bit of a “marketplace” vibe. It's sweeter than Gajah Mada, though. It's primarily a mix of cinnamon, Peruvian balsam, myrrh, rose, patchouli, and citruses.

Galaor is similar, in some ways, to Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, Initio Rehab, and other familiar sweet/spicy/smooth/powdery-type options, but has its own character that leans on the cinnamon and resins, more so, than, say, pepper, not present in Galaor but a part of some fragrances of this ilk.

It has nuances while not reinventing the wheel, feeling familiar, in a way, but still providing some intrigue and mystery. I feel that it's very well executed.

Like the rest of the Aristia Collection, Galaor performs very well comes in parfum concentration and is priced at $290 for 100ml, sold only at select boutiques like Perfumology.

Overall, a strong entry in the line, my favorite so far, though I've still two more to sample.
