Dûsara

Anima Mundi · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Anima Mundi Dûsara opens with galbanum, cedarwood and frankincense, a fresh, green yet smoky and spicy scent made for men and easy to wear in any season. The opening brings galbanum, cedarwood, frankincense, Calabrian bergamot and cypress together: citrus freshness meets a green, resinous base. In the heart, cypriol, cinnamon, oud and Italian saffron add a spicy, smoky warmth. Woody notes, musk and amber in the base soften that edge and dry down into an oriental warmth. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small. Fall leads slightly, but all four seasons score close together. It is suggested for leisure, daily wear and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, with classic and modern impressions also present. Min New York Dahab and Byredo Encens Chembur have a close profile.

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters pick fall and winter. Night outs and evenings lead, though it also works for leisure time. It reads somewhat masculine, yet a fair share of voters call it feminine. The top pairs lime and bergamot freshness with saffron and nutmeg spice. In the heart, Chinese and Egyptian geranium add a soft floral note, rounded by cashmere. The base of vetiver, patchouli and amber turns earthy, smoky and sweet. Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie and Moresque White Duke have a close profile.
