As I previously told you
swellcat, I’ve unfortunately come at your same conclusion...
But unlike you, that small decant in my previous post is all La Foret I’m left with, so after that it will be
addio for me...
Now, I usually refrain from suggesting fragrances, especially to someone I barely know. And even more if it’s an attar. But since I feel the same about our palates, I’ll broke the rule: Sheikh Al Faransi.
Imagine LFdL, but better: richer, deeper, more multifaceted. Don’t let listed notes on
its page fool you, the ensemble is way more complex and different than one could think - especially if not familiar with natural oils world. You might ask where greenness is. Well, to my nose the Cambodi oud inside this gem has almost that same cypress-cedar-oakmoss accord from La Forete, just a little more balsamic and less earthy. Also its longevity is another strong point, a single swipe covers 8+ hours of evolving beauty. On an animalistic scale I’d rate it an easy 1/10, suitable for everybody.
Go ahead and take a 0.5ml sample, if not satisfied I’ll refund you. And in case, please report back here too because it would really mean that my nose is completely broken and I should just STFU!
