Te delle Isole / Tea of the Isles
AbdesSalaam Attar Profumo

The opening is very spicy, especially heavy on cloves. It takes over one hour until the cloves are starting to relax a bit and the notes are beginning to balance. It's still mostly spicy with added cinnamon and pepper; this feels like I am preparing wine spices. This theme goes mostly unchanged into the drydown and I struggle to find a tea note in there, but fail. This thing projects big at first, but it fades drastically after the first hour. I am not a fan of the clove note and it's clearly dominating the fragrance so it's a pass from me.
