More of a geranium vetiver.
I do sense slightly oud like note with allot of earthy vetiver, cumin, tiny hints of sweat. I smell something animalic in here and I believe it could be a castoreum plus the dirty vetiver.
The colder it goes the more infatuation it becomes.

Rosendo Mateu 2 is part of the collection relaunched in 2017 by the master perfumer who has had his name involved in countless fragrances of worldwide success. When launching his own brand, in 2015, Rosendo settled once and for all in the Niche Perfumery segment.
Rosendo Mateu 2 does not have the same composition as the fragrance launched in 2015. In this new collection, some of them even bring the same main accords printed on the bottle plate, but have undergone minor adjustments before the relaunch. In the case of the fragrance number 2, this has been changed. The former was complex and built on lavender, spices and chocolate, while the present was created to highlight the citrus, wood and suede notes.
And speaking of suede, Rosendo Mateu 2 is what can be called female leather. I say this because I know that fragrances with leather nuances tend to reinforce aspects of masculinity, virility, strength and luxury. And when such a note is used in women’s fragrances, it is usually barely noticeable in order not to scare the target audience.
This time, the perfumer managed to bring balance and unisex appeal in a fragrance that was created, clearly, to enhance the most luxurious nuance of suede. And the result is a scent that touches the skin like incense and unfolds in almondy nuances. The most amazing thing is to understand the aroma after learning about its olfactory pyramid, which has notes of Calabrian bergamot and lemon, on top; rose, geranium leaves and floral accord, in the body; white musk, sandalwood, patchouli and suede, in the base.
As it evolves, the perfume reveals itself as extremely comfortable, almost perfect for any time. It takes a while, but the smoky exit I’ve felt before begins to give way to a floral and slightly camphorated body, in which the rose does not scare, is not too metalized, nor too feminine. It is present all the time, until the moment the woods of the base emerge and practically crush its petals. Then, a denser sandalwood (and less creamy than usual) reveals itself and the suede covers the body, as if it were a blanket made of animal skin, used by the people living in the colder regions.
Rosendo Mateu 2 may not be the best perfume ever made with leather nuances for the male audience, but it is undoubtedly a great revelation for the female audience. It has elegance, conveys refinement, is not dominant, but it does not stop being present all the time.
Taking into account my experience with the fragrance of number 1 and now with this one, everything leads me to believe that the Olfactive Expressions collection of 2017 embraces the elegance without fanfare. So far, both seem to me leveled in terms of projection and durability, as if it were a record with songs produced in studio with the same volume and sound filters. Here, the volume is not deafening, but the chorus sticks in the memory and stays the whole day. And I move on toward the third fragrance.

I was doing my research about this perfumier and I read a lot about him and based on that I have a motivation to try his line and here is my first impression about his bespoke perfume no.2:
when I heard that there is a suede leather note I thought this perfume will be very strong or harsh but after testing it I discovered that the suede leather note is very shy here and it’s blend very well with patchouli and sandalwood notes which make it soft.
fantastic and it’s a lovely fragrance for the lover of light intense perfume with a beautiful composition.
longevity 6/10
sillage 9/10
Overall 7/10.
