Fresh aromatic and woody fragrance with notes in the main mint and vetiver. Drydown is slightly powdery and tends to me more to the masculine than feminine side. it has a nice fragrance but I think more suitable for a man

This is a great green vetiver patchouli scent! So very well balanced, I would love to have it in spray. It is so smooth and multi-dimensional. My favorite of the line, but the rest of them are also so very good! Marlen, I am impressed.

Now that have had a full wearing and refreshing of this fragrance i would like to do a review.
Hammurabi, starts of with a minty blast,i also get some patchouli right up front. It is a green minty aroma. Like smelling fresh mint leaves. The patchouli gives it a rich and darker aura. Very unique!
After some time it subsided to a heady woody almost musky sweet scent. very pleasant and sweet.
my mum says it reminds her of what a wealthy person would smell like. “opulent”
as it fades away into a skin scent. it leaves remnants of of tonka bean and i believe it to be benzoin.
all in all it’s a nice perfume. it does change from start to finish. not just a one dimensional fragrance. and has an elegant composition to offer.
my only thing i can see someone saying in a negative way is if they do not like heady patchouli perfumes and or the use of fragrance oils. as it being a fragrance oil it doesn’t have a beastly projection. but it is way better than some of the BPAL and auricblends and al-rehabs i have sampled.
to me this is not an issue. i like to have all types of fragrances in my arsenal. you can’t always wear beast mode perfumes and be a respectful person towards others personal space. and i think this one has a place and time to be worn.
i could see a well dressed classy male wearing this in a close encounter situation. once it settles down it is a fragrance that would be inviting to most people.
my rating for this fragrance
sillage- 7/10
longevity- 8/10
projection- 7/10
this one gives you a good aura of fragrance that last a decent amount of time. and i do like patchouli so i like this perfume a lot.
these are just my opinion towards this fragrance.
thank you for reading my review.
