Ozymandias (F2 base)
APR Description:
We are proud to release Ozymandias, a tour de force of vibrant dark woods teaming with creamy, refined Mysore Sandalwood finished impeccably with white musk and dark resinous vanilla.
Heart notes of generous Rosewood, beautiful floral Orris and the warmth of Cedar resting on the sweetness of Honey. The sum is greater than the whole accord.
The warming camaraderie of white rums suitably aged and rested, accented by intangible suggestions of Red Cherry and Blueberry as the fragrance opens.
To experience Ozymandias is to experience a deep fragrance of multiple accords, a narrative of agelessness, memory and time where the lone and level sands stretch far away.
Top Notes Include: White Rum, Red Cherry & Blueberry
Heart Notes Include: Rosewood, Orris, Cedarwood & Honey
Base Notes Include: Oudh, Mysore Sandalwood, White Musks, Vanilla & Ambergris.
User Description:
Like with all APR scents, this one doesn't really quite match the descriptors. First of all, this is STRONG. As in beast mode strong performance. I lathered this soap and left it with the lid open in the master bath and when I re-enter, the whole master suite smells like the soap after the shave. Beyond that, I find this scent VERY close to Floris Leather Oud. As in "almost a clone" close. So I don't really get the fruit notes at all...instead I am getting oud, leather, sandalwood, ylang ylang, honey, and an anise/licorice note. This is FIRMLY a winter scent and if you are buying some now, you can safely tuck it away until at least September in the Northern hemisphere. While most APR scents are crowd pleasers, I think, this one should be pretty polarizing because that anise/licorice drydown can veer into olive tapenade and I can see some folks not enjoying this. This scent is NOT for the faint of heart.
