No.6 Jasmin Sandalwood Oriental Musk

This is a not-so-unique DNA done in a very unique way (for me). It's a musky oriental jasmine sandalwood scent, a little synthetic overall, with a hint of something... almost kind of plastic. That sounds so weird, but I actually dig it. There's something so sexy about this perfume. Definitely not something I would wear to the office or to meet a partner's parents for the first time, it's just not a safe choice, especially around people who aren't used to smelling niche scents. I also don't think it's summer appropriate (even though the jasmine and coconut might make it seem that way). I think what saves it is that it's not sweet. If it was sweet, synthetic and plastic, it would be nausea inducing – this way it's just a little peculiar, in a kind of naughty manner. It is taking a lot of self-talk not to just place an order (I currently have a chance to get it for 120$), even though I know I should wear it and test it more to be sure. Sigh. Update 5 hours later: I ordered it.

First purchase from this house, a blind one. And what a good choice it was. My initial impression upon opening the package was stellar. The bottle is gorgeous with its simplistic design of clean lines and metal plaque symmetrically placed. The glass is ultra smooth and high quality like crystal. It's not heavy or chunky and feels lightweight and delicate in my hand compared to every other perfume bottle I've ever held. I hope to never find out how durable it is or isn't, so I will keep it placed on my shelf where it can't get knocked over.

I definitely smell sweet almond as well, moreso than coconut, over powdery musk. The powder can get a little cloying and does feel rather feminine as noted below, but if you like powder as much as I do, it’s welcomed. The powder intensifies quickly but then dissipates slowly over about an hour. Sandalwood just barely peeks out in the opening and heart of the fragrance but becomes prominent & amplified by Amber in the deep drydown. This is the best part of the fragrance to me. I can’ barely smell the jasmine and I don’t get green notes.

A nice musky fruity coconut scent, with touches of dense jasmine, and along with that signature Rosendo Mateu base of amber vanilla and musk. The dew type of green notes add some pleasant freshness to it in the opening which soon get enveloped by soft creamy sandalwood as it dries down, the sweet fruity vibe however is retained throughout. In the last stages, it's just amber Musk sweetness that stays on the skin for quite long. Overall, not entirely unique, but an easy to like, unisex, elegant scent. 7/10

This is a blind buy that was way better than i imagined , ambery floral fragnance that feels elegant and perfectly unisex in my opinion , delightful smell that enjoyable from the beginning to the end , and my favorite part about it is the opening , the jasmine and the light coconut in the background gives a pleasent dose of joy, i bought this one and no5 and honestly i think they complement each other with no6 having the better opening and no6 being louder and a tad bit more sophisticated ( not much)
