This is the first perfume I have ever tried from the house of Acca Kappa.
This is an ode to oud. It’s a very simple concoction with just 4 main notes. This is a really well-done fragrance. I love ginger and it brings some nice spice to the game. The rich oud mixes well with the sweetness and pepper notes of the saffron. The hint of rose is just enough to add depth to the mix without overpowering it. It seems rather basic at first, but as it dries down you get to pick up in just how beautifully composite it is. I think I am definitely going to be checking out more fragrances from these guys! @scentgasms

Got two sprays in passing yesterday whilst exiting a department store.
Coolish 13° evening.
Soft & supple. A very earthy almost “mossy” woody. Was not able to give it full & undivided attention, unfortunately, but whenever I sniffed the back of my hand the rest of the night (I got about 5 hours) I overwhelmingly encountered patchouli from my skin with this, albeit a very well blended, smooth & elegant patchouli… with the oud & sandalwood there quietly, again, nicely blended. I will go back to try this once more in hopes the contribution of carnation, cistus, and olibanum becomes more apparent to me; I would like to appreciate their presence. Potentially a keeper.
Edit: Like a great second date this was worth trying again! Different day. Different understanding… we all know how that goes. I went back, gave it a proper go and had to take it home. To my humble nose this seems very well blended.
Now I glimpse carnations! Here a hint of cumin & there a drop of ginger, yes. Now the cistus & olibanum have presented themselves, taking their sister, rose, by the hand… each to take up an instrument or voice in this familial choir – with soft saffron pirouetting around adding her dance to the mystic song. Oud & cedar have a supporting role where patchouli (whom first I mistook for lead tenor) is merely page-turner; welcome but unobtrusive. All culminating in a beautifully orchestrated sacred Ode! This concentrates my mind and elevates my spirit. What with the Lenten season upon us tomorrow this somehow seems apropos.
Ode:
“… an elaborately structured poem praising or glorifying an event or individual, describing nature intellectually as well as emotionally.”
(Yes. All that. And here, a quiet, serene but confident chant.)
also, in Italian, a synonym for “to hear”.
I hear polyphony.
Despite the intimate sillage and only moderate longevity I simply couldn’t resist this. More “masculine” than “feminine”? Perhaps.
Fine packaging. Fine bottle.
