Got this in today and here are some first impressions. This is a very light colored oil. It looks like Tupelo honey, and when first applied it absolutely smells like pure tupelo honey. It is the purest honey smell I have experienced from any oud. For 10-15 mins that honey smell is the first note you get. Then is starts to change. The next notes are reminiscent (not exact, but close) to freshly cut Port Orford Cedar, which is a glorious scent. This note has no resemblance whatsoever to typical cedar, POC is actually in the cypress family. Then it changes again into a distinctly Borneo like scent. At one point I could have sworn it was Borneo 50k! It is now mellowing some but still very breezy. Perhaps sweetening slightly, maybe? It is not a 'red' scent, not a 'yellow' scent, not a 'green' scent. It needs it's own new color.
I am going to have to spend some time with this one. This is serious juice that I am going to have to wear a bunch of times to get my mind around. Also, this oil is very narcotic in its experience.
I would call this oil multifaceted. I personally would not call it a linear or vertical evolution. It is like Kafka's Metamorphosis. Wow!!!
