1984 15ml By Ensar oud
Forgive me for not disclosing how much oakmoss is in here.
The Mongolian musk is from Sultan Qaboos’ collection, or more likely from his predecessors’. It’s a magical, ultra-rare beast of a fixative no perfumer I know of has the privilege of using. 1984’s entire carrier contains it.
There’s more Papuan oud in here than in all of the perfumes in history combined. If that trips up other ‘oud’ perfumes… let me just say I’m truly sorry.
Why didn’t you use jasmophore or methyl tuberate? Did you really have to go with proper tuberose absolute, the kind that costs more than some ouds? Or jasmine sambac that lets people smell like they’re walking toward a blooming jasmine garden at sunset while sniffing a swipe of Borneo 2000 on the way? Oh yes… Borneo 2000… that’s in here!
1984’s concentration is so dense, a spritz may leave a velvety trail of oil on your skin. Whoops. Next time I’ll water it down to the minimum amount required to qualify as an extrait de parfum, instead of exceeding the max. And this doesn’t take into account the carrier composed of SQ sandalwood and those sticky black Mongolian musk pods…
But then, would you prefer your perfume share its DNA with pretty much every other perfume?
