The opening is spicy with sweet smoke, a balsamic and meditative incense. It’s rich and oriental having also a fresh/green aura like being in a coniferous pine forest. The more you enter in the forest the more you go back in time and more transparent and quiet the scent becomes. Towards the end, I get a dusty leathery feel that sticks with the coniferous pine and the spices.
Scent: 6/10

Hindu Kush is the cheerier Eastern cousin of the gorgeous Norne by Slumberhouse. While Norne was Cypress absolute and incense, Hindu Kush is pine and incense with pepper and sandalwood. Beautifully composed and with moderate sillage and longevity (unlike the enormously projecting Norne), this is one forest evoking incense that can be safely worn to work. Fans of Norne looking for a lighter, cheerier version to wear to work, check this airy beauty out. It is a lilting and mystical composition that doesn’t overpower, yet radiates the light amongst the Himalayan pines. Beautiful!

Green forest pine and incense, weighty.

This is a very interesting scent – I rather like it. It seems to have more notes than is listed here, and definitely some fruit. It has a lovely calming effect on me. I feel refreshed and peaceful whenever I wear it, which is quite often, and it is perfect on days when I’m not feeling quite, up. It lifts my mood, into a more contented one. I like it a lot really.

author Donna Tartt’s favorite perfume, as she told Vanity Fair.

This is pleasant, if somewhat monolithic. It’s strong and long lasting with a kind of pine-y incense dominating. More on the masculine side of unisex.

floorboards, warming spices and traces of frankincense. quite a oriental/arabic scent that is potent. i detected traces of honey and tobacco in this, but i may be wrong…

Perhaps the ginger and spices are fooling my nose, but I could swear that I detect a hint of citrus in this fragrance. It reminds me of Escale a Pondichery, without the soapy-clean notes of the latter. Hindu Kush both is and is not what I expected. The ginger, spices, sandalwood, pepper and incense are all things I associate with India, although I didn’t anticipate the citrussy aspect, which is nevertheless pleasant and not domineering. Though neither is officially acknowledged, I did expect a big white floral – either tuberose or jasmine – to burst forth in the middle notes. That doesn’t happen, and although I’m convinced that I do smell quiet hints of tuberose after the initial drydown, it is in perfect harmony with the rest of the notes. Hindu Kush is a fresh, yet very contemplative scent. Due to the range of notes and its lightness, this fragrance is, to me, a year-round scent. It is unobtrusive and personal, and would be perfect for office situations, weekends, and for meditation and yoga. I love that it’s available in a smaller size bottle, and definitely plan to add it to my fragrance wardrobe.

the uniqueness of this scent is what i look for in all of my perfumes…definitely not sweet or floral…a fragrance full of spice to be worn by a strong personality male or female. I get a ton of wonderful woods and incense definitely pepper, lingers and opens to sandalwood in the end. wish it had more stay power but is nice b/c such a powerful scent may be too strong otherwise. not for everyday but my go to for special nights.

an earthy grassy sandalwoody incense-y scent..maybe even a little bit of cumin and leather? not exactly sure what the notes are, but that’s what I smell. I bought this sample from the perfumed court,and I wouldn’t mind maybe owning a small decant of this for when the mood strikes, but it’s not fb worthy because it’s definitely not an everyday scent to me. it’s a little odd..nothing fabulous. plus, it seems like it’s impossible to find in the US
