I think this fragrance deserves another mention! Not as ground breaking as the original was but it's still a solid fragrance! This definitely has the the original DNA but with a bit of a twist. It starts off fresh like the original with the Yuzu and citruses. Here's where the twist comes in! As it dries down it becomes dark and spicy with the nutmeg, cardamom and saffron with the nutmeg being more dominant. I don't get any cinnamon in this one. As it becomes close to my skin the incense, benzoin and amber become more noticeable with the papyrus and ambergris being more in the background. Performance is decent. I get 7 to 8 hours on my skin with a hour of projection. 👌🏼
