Towards the end of last year, I started to get an interest in fragrance oils. Red African was the first that hit hard for me and golden Dust is a close second. I got into these Concentrated Perfume oils as they are fantastic to layer with. But they also hold their own for solo use..a golden Dust has a warm glow from within profile and was made popular by ME houses like Sunnamusk and Swiss Arabian. If you are looking for gourmand Oriental scents that have longevity without the sharp alcohol hit from traditional fragrances then this could be for you The he best way for me to describe it is, A creamy balsamic vanilla with a luminous honeyed edge. It doesn't scream, it just radiates. The opening starts of with a brief sparkling hint of grapefruit and Damask Rose. The citrus is as always fleeting. But it does lift the heavier notes, so they don't feel muddy. At the heart, you will find the magic happen, A thick almost sickly sweet honeysuckle is perfectly blended with a combination of Vanilla & white Musk. It smells like sun-warmed skin or a luxury honey-infused cream. As it settles into the dry down, arich, resinous base of Amber and Balsamic notes. The musk here isn't "soapy"; it’s a soft, fuzzy "skin-musk" that counteracts the sweetness from becoming cloying. Because it's an oil it doesn't evaporate as quickly as a edp. You can actually get a lot closer the the 12hr mark with an good oil. Even after showering. Projection however will be moderate as oils sit closer to your skin. While it won't fill a room instantly, it creates a "scent bubble" around you. People will catch a whiff when you move or when they lean in. Since this is a concentrated oil, a little goes a long way. Apply a small drop to your wrists, neck, and behind the ears. The heat from your blood flow helps the oil "bloom." My Rating 8/10 Scent 2 Longevity 3 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

“Creativity improves with boundaries.” — Trey Taylor, indie purfumer (paraphrased) Sounds counterintuitive right, but consider this... Limits force better decisions. Too many options slow progress. Constraints sharpen focus. Keep moving forward, Enjoy the #Journey
