My person review:

A very strong and animalic opening , oakmoss at its full force. Pungency and earthy. Glossy and Musky like fumes are thrown out at you (even though there is no Musk in this) it has a similiar scent profile, dark deep and resinous, quite exotic at times. As the scent soaks into your skin chemistry, it's as if the accords split and explode all over The skin and around you, the aroma opens much more , and after 3 4 minutes you get a whole New fragrance! 

You must ! , Have to be patient! Don't judge it to quick, believe me you will have done it injustice and to yourself. 

A warm boozy accord overtakes, sweetens the pallete of the nose, comforting and soft. Vintage like experince , slightly rum like aroma that dances around at this point. 

The Tobacco is striking, adds weight and strength to the composition 

Spices definitely engage with this beautiful composition at the heart, similiar to that you find In a oud Luwak bottle or Agar De Noir, that sharp sweet cinnamon like accord, vibrates through the many nuances that are going on at this stage. 

The fresh warm Leather accord makes a presence late on from the opening, and seeps throughout to the heart and I feel its strong enough to last to the base. With the leather you get sweet nuances, from the saffron, it's DELICIOUS.... THIS leather and saffron combination at this point is just triggering all types of experiences , so good. 

The saffron has to be given a lot of credit in this composition,  it's so fresh and pure and the way it works with the cardamon it's so exotic and sensual,  sweet , spicy with woody undertones connected with boozy accords is very favourable and addictive. 

20 mins and Wow ! This has become a totally different aroma altogether. If you gave up at the opening I do feel for you. You missed such amazing experiences. 

Bergamot, lime or lemon zesty accords are also present playfully in the background, creates a beautiful balance to the rawness this contains, they are not main Notes, but do enough to warrant being there, and its impact on the fragrance is very much appreciated, if it was to harsh we'd all be put off, it's a bit like the Sun, after we experience cold weather back to back, the sun is a  God-Send, makes you feel happy, comforted, warm this is alike, and after all that you get a faint but strong enough smoky accord. 

The dry down reminds me of Chinese oud, it has that smooth, sweet warm sandalwood base, with fresh accords. Very exotic and summery like. Striking and very impactful.
