Saladin
Extrait de Parfum, Alexander Perfume (2023)

I really like this, it's staying power is also solid. The opening is bright and sweet, but on my skin you can immediately also pick up the dark patchouli. It almost gives the effect of an oud fragrance here, but without the oud. It makes me think of leather, of smoke and darkness but the fruit makes it light. It's so carefully balanced that the fruityness and leather bitterness is never overpowering one another nor the rose note. It's definitely unisex and it's a heavier more complex version of Rose d' Voleur. It never gets boring and never makes me think ' oh another rose perfume, how groundbreaking'
