Rich and warm – though very slightly anonymous – wood, cosy but upmarket – livened up with a really distinctive pimento note, which is what makes it IMHO. (And it’s a distinctive sort of pepper – the picture above is of a bright red chili, but to me this scent has much more of the very special and different smell of the allspice berry to it.)
Those hints of spice give the whole composition a feel of domestic luxury, but not much sweetness; maybe like being in a kitchen full of high-class hardwood panelling with a cake baking. Not an ethereal beauty but still a solid, polished, sturdy bit of work (appropriate given the name.) This isn’t a
wild weird wood like a Slumberhouse or D S & Durga job – it’s all much more indoor, less feral and less resiny than that sort of thing – but it’s still strikingly good.
True unisex, tending to masculine (if you like wood) and not overpowering; it’s subtle enough to go anywhere and in any weather, but seems to give more weight per spray on cooler, wetter days to me. Projection is moderate but solid – it keeps on pumping for ages. And overall longevity is really, really impressive – like a true hardwood, it weathers well – still detectable 9+hrs in on me, which is unusual.

I have to give this fragrance some props for the fact that it has three distinct phases which could easily be three different fragrances. This quality must be applauded. It starts out like the most chaotic and shambled mixture of warm and spicy vibes which made me think I was in for some sort of incense and amber affair. This then changes over a period of 20 mins to an hour into a fragrance I have DEFINITELY smelled before I just cannot place exactly what it is. It goes gourmand almost in this mid phase, becoming a sickly spiced, nutmeg, hints of cakey, spicebomb and warm vibes, I don’t dislike it but the fact that there’s yet another change in the drydown is welcome. Then there’s the finale…a deep, creamy, heavenly, woody, resin which is gorgeous and sits low on the skin smelling nothing like the opening or heart. I can honestly say this is an enigma of a fragrance, the way it progresses gradually giving up it’s secrets and although unremarkable by themselves add up to the kind of olfactory experience I look for when trying a new fragrance and Resin Sacre delivered a similar trifecta. So I like it for this reason but it didn’t grab me enough to add it to the collection, reason being the middle bit is the longest lasting and my least favourite and the best bit at the end is too much of a skin scent. Oh the opening is interesting but aren’t they all. Try though and see if you feel the same way about it?
