Cloves as first prominent note? Personally at the opening I get mostly a peppery resinous-patchouli blend, silky and clean, with a bold woody vein reminding me of cedar (guess it's the incense). I also get something powdery, while the cloves note is just barely perceivable and really discreet, and also with a “substance” different than usual – more rooty and woody, and less harsh and pungent (not sure if because of the dose or the quality of materials, either way it's good for me as I personally can't stand cloves). Shortly a fairly pleasant, sharp, neat and cozy woody-spicy Oriental scent, not that original and honestly for me a bit boring and too tamed down to “say” something; but solid and nice. Really close to skin for me, but the persistence is longer than I expected.

6,5-7/10

Luscious light oriental with notes of resins of myrrh, clove leaf, patchouli, peppercorns, allspice, sacred woods smoke, incense and black vanilla. Very embraceable, it's warm, spicy, slightly gourmand, slightly hippie, with a worldly spiritual vibe.
