What does The Ruler smell like?
It opens with the sharp, fruity-green freshness of rhubarb, lemon, orange and grass. In the heart, cedar, myrrh, cashmere, tonka bean and rose soften that brightness and push the scent towards woody and spicy. The base of musk, patchouli, benzoin and vanilla leaves a sweet, resinous, slightly earthy warmth. A synthetic sheen runs through the whole impression.
Perfumes with a close profile include The House of Oud Hidden Shades and Franck Boclet Nirvana.
