I like this because of the similarity to L’air du Desert Marocain. It gives me a sense of space, a clear, golden light-filled incense, and a grounding frame of wood. This one seems cooler and thinner and a tad more masculine. In general Mark Buxton woodsy scents are great. I like my decant, like the clarity and simplicity, but don’t think I would buy a full bottle as long as I have LDDM.

Biehl sent me some samples, with mb02, i bought. It was a nice surprise and big fun to try all those perfumes. About mb03…reading the notes, i would never imagine, that i would like it, because i don’t like patchouli and i have my doubts about amber, resin and chamomile. However, is a very warm and attractive perfume ,adorable for men. I will wear it (from the sample) sometimes, even i’m a woman, because i loved it , but i will not give so much money to buy a bottle. I am content with Biehl mb02!

Before dissecting any one person’s review, repeat 195 dollars 3 times. Now that you have that figure logged into your brain,…..the unique blend of pink pepper and chamomile radiate and highlights the warm spicy content in mb03. The labdanum’s sweet substance mixed with the softness of the powdery sandlewood smooths out any harsh accords. The wood and musk are the main pillars keeping this fragrance from becoming all too feminine while keeping the entire composition in check. Another great oriental but I’m kind of wrestling with the longevity, price and familiarity.

mb03 has a pleasant pink pepper top note, which ushers in a straightforward “churchy” incense note. Unlike Sahara Noir, this Catholic mass incense is relatively sheer, and framed by elemi (sort of an oily-peppery pine-like aroma), musky wood notes, and subtly-blended labdanum. The overall tonality and texture of the fragrance is good, and Buxton’s approach to benzoin is restrained, and not over-the-top sweet. Perfumes like this are a pleasure to wear because they “waft” well. I get hints of this throughout the day, but at times it disappears. When it reappears, it wafts up from my chest and reminds me of why I love the smell of incense. It’s lighter and simpler than others in this category, but mb03 is well made and exhibits quality materials. Good for people of the poetic persuasion.

Boring. I surely can’t find this unisex and even on a man I find this totally uninteresting. Just another one of those spicy aftershavy things.

First of all, I like MB3, I like Mark Buxton’s creations and I totally loved a bunch of them such as CDG 2 Man or CDG Original but we really needed another one like Avignon, Around Midnight, Cardinal? This is a good, dark church-y incense but, unfortunately, it’s really too similar to the ones I mentioned which are cheaper and much more readily available (Avignon anyone?).
Rating: 6/10

Perfumes by Mark Buxton are always a bit the same. “MB 03” smells like “Around Midnight” and both are similar to “Comme des Garcons” “2 Man” – a Mark Buxton scent, too. They´re all not bad – you feel like being in a catholic church (because of the incense) – but in my opinion a perfume designer should be more creative.
You can also compare Linari and MB 02 …
