I have an unmarked vintage bottle of dark juice with the foil label. i think it’s this because it is NOT the amber or the opoponax, which I have. This goes on spicy, sweet, slightly herbal, soapy, floral and is lovely.

I really like this. Frangipane is a strong note but this a calm and herbally fragrance. I was a bit worried that the Peru balsam would be too dominant but thankfully no. I’d say the balsam, frangipane and nutmeg were equal in strength.
It is quite a rich scent and a touch earthy so not everyone’s thing. It does smell a bit like a medicinal salve. There is also something about it that makes it an olfactory time machine. I can just imagine this creation being developed by the monks.
This feels autumnal to me so I will wear it then although it is pretty nice in this warm environment.
It doesn’t have much sillage on me but it does last a good few hours.

I ADORE this scent. It reminds me so much of the streets of Rome and how they smell. Like cobblestones and rain and spice. Or the pews in old Catholic churches. Wood and incense. Every time I want to feel Italian and glamorous I reach for this fragrance. One of my favorites…

Really interesting scent, there’s nothing quite like it. Thinking it would be quite sweet I have discovered a pungency with a slight soapy side to it, which keeps the intrigue going. A hint of patchouli almost, but not really. The nutmeg keeps changing its character on the skin, always warm but with an edge to it.
In spite of the spiciness there is a freshness to the scent which surprises. And it is definitely a scent that needs to grow on one, but grow it does.
Although a clearly warm scent it isn’t necessarily a winter scent, I imagine it quite well on a warm summer evening with the freshness and soapiness wafting through, acting as a counterpoint to all the citrusy summer scents around. The spicy incense-like base married to images of a hot Indian night.
Lovely to find something quite out of the ordinary.
