   This was the reason of me trying this brand. The is an inspiring European style oud, woods, and saffron. Mostly it’s a vanilla oud with that tingly saffronic note that made it slightly floral oud. The nutmeg, the elemi, and the patchouli are making a lounge party in here with some labdanum & hints of vetiver.
   A very addictive blend this one is. Excellent.

   In creating the fragrance of number 4, Rosendo Mateu crossed borders and brought a vision from the East to the Western market. Rosendo Mateu 4 is a kind of interpretation of the strong aromas and spices of the United Arab Emirates through the sense of smell of a citizen from Barcelona. And it works!
   The fragrance features notes of Calabrian bergamot and bitter orange blossom on top. Then, the body arrives carrying the intensity of the notes of cinnamon, saffron, nutmeg, nuts, iris rhizomes and jasmine petals. But the base is what gives personality to this creation thanks to the notes of Oud, patchouli, sandalwood, guaiac wood, vetiver, labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, tonka beans, amber accord and musk-based setters.
   So, speak only the truth and tell me if you were not curious just by imagining this Saudi complexity properly orchestrated by a nose like Mr. Rosendo’s with his five decades of experience?
   For I can guarantee that Rosendo Mateu 4 is a very well-built fragrance and leaves nothing to be desired for others that are produced by Arabian brands, with only a slight difference: that “leveling” that I commented in the review I wrote for the fragrance number 2 has been maintained and the result is a more contained fragrance, ideal for those who love these fragrances full of strong nuances, but can not wear for particular reasons, such as headaches, excessive projection, climate where you live or work, etc. Once again, the elegance spoke louder and the fragrance works like a wild animal that has been tamed.
   On my skin, Rosendo Mateu 4 reveals a woody-creamy scent. Basically, everything revolves around the notes of saffron, Oud, guaiac wood, labdanum and benzoin. The rest works as a backdrop for a fragrance full of mystery and cultural diversity. Sometimes it seems that I am inside an old movie, in which the protagonist leaves the city of Cairo and returns to London with spices never felt and a dangerous idea to revolutionize the existing perfumery.
   In terms of evolution, saffron and nutmeg dictate the rules for a long time, when the essential oil obtained from the Agarwood – the famous Oud – appears with all its woody content (forget the medicinal or the chocolate types) and joins the stiffness of the guaiac wood. To improve, there is a balsamic smell, almost green and smoky, coming from the benzoin, in addition to a sweeter and leathery facet of labdanum. A gem!
   Rosendo Mateu 4 is undoubtedly my favorite of all this collection launched in 2017. It represents masculinity in all its essence and translates, without error, what is expected of a perfume from the woody family. Not to mention that, until the present moment, it was the one that presented greater projection on my skin.
   Wearing this fragrance you are transported to the most diverse scenarios, in which dunes, turbans and snakes hidden in straw baskets can arise at any time. I need a bottle!

   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.4:
   I don’t want to talk about the notes but I want to tell you
   what do you feel when you are going to use this perfume, all of the above notes gives you one kind of smell
   ”creamy sandalwood” that is all about and it’s fantastic for sandalwood lover.
   Don’t miss his line, give it a try!!
   longevity 9/10
   sillage 8/10
   Overall 8/10
