I don’t know why, but it smells like some kind of pastry to me. I don’t detect any of these notes (and I freely admit I’m not refined enough to pick up on some of them).

This perfume doesn’t develop for me as the arrangement of notes suggest,sandalwood is among base notes but as I spray it,opening part is all about sandalwood,I like sandal when it’s not dominant and adds a semi sweet creamy vanilla like undertone to perfumes but here it’s very dominant and I don’t like this flat,balmy smell of sandalwood,there are also some spicy and boozy notes detectable during first minutes,unfortunately it’s not rum,as it usually appears,warm and sweet..it’s something sharp,almost sour vinegar like,maybe bergamot is blending with spicy notes producing such a boozy but unpleasant note,all in all I deeply dislike it
As time passes,rose shows up,this rose,some saffron,patch(not a unique combo)makes the scent likable
Drydown is half rose,half sandalwood,not bad,but not also special,it’s rich,nice and definitely unisex
Longevity is more than moderate,almost good.sillage is moderate and this is a fragrance for mild,cool weather so best season for it would be fall
Although drydown is nice I can’t get over first hour’s sourish sandalwood and even it’s nice drydown is not worth it’s price IMHO
Recommended to sandalwood lovers more than rose lovers

Standard fare boozy rose / synth-sandalwood / saffron cocktail that’s been done a million times before, but it’s done well here. They’ve managed to mix sour ebanol/javanol/sandalrome etc. with a facsimile of actual sandalwood (a kind of milky, textured accord akin to what Diptyque did with Tam Dao), and the result is pretty authentic. It doesn’t smell as boomy as real sandalwood, yet it’s a step up from what these kind of scents usually do. But what gives it its real edge is the use of earthy notes like patchouli which break the trite rose/ebanol binary. There’s also a pink pepper note that acts like treble to the lower frequencies, and there are some fruity elements that serve to push the stewed/boozy effect further. Overall, it’s hardly an original style (rose/synth-sandalwood), but it’s done in a way that makes it stand out from its brethren. I usually find Jovoy’s releases to be mediocre, but this one’s decent for what it is.

Distinct presence of Amber-Sandalwood.
Nice

Sombres Dessins is a burnished etude in the key of sandalwood. Sandalwood can be quite dry and stark, but here the supporting accords complement it beautifully. The bergamot and pink pepper are quite at the fore in the opening and quickly step back from the limelight. The middle notes each have a presence, but they are team players and no one really elbows the others out of the way. The patchouli, olibanum, and rum step up to the plate to support the star of the show, and again they balance the sandalwood nicely. Jovoy Paris has taken dry sandalwood and enriched it with a complementary array of accords that together are a glory. This is an interesting, opulent fragrance, well suited to woman or man. Oscar Wilde would have worn this. Very bohemian, very rich, with an elegant wit. I want to be seduced by someone wearing this.
This goes on my WANT list. Exotic, incense-like accords are right in my wheelhouse, and this fits snugly in a gap I was not aware existed.
