Thebes Grade 1

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes so far, so those ratings are tentative. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine, which suits its unisex character.

The top notes are aldehydes, bergamot, lily of the valley and Persian rose otto, giving a fresh, green start. In the heart, Bulgarian rose absolute, Jasminum grandiflorum and orris butter carry the floral side forward. The base of vetiver, ambergris, amber and animalic notes settles it onto a woody, resinous, slightly smoky footing.
