This is really sage-y on me.  To the exclusion of almost everything else, sadly.  I do get a hint of cardamom in the background.  There is a Middle Eastern kind of vibe to it, definitely.

 

I'll have to try it again in a month or two.

Straight out of the vial this takes me back to our Turkish neighbors kitchen. Baklava, coffee, figs, honeyed sweets, exotic spices and something always cooking on the stove.

The sage comes forward a bit later. It adds a [sort of] hippy/head shoppe scent to me that I actually do not identify as a traveling companion with the rest of the notes. Lol. Its like a Turkish family living in Venice Beach (c.1980s). Amusing as that is I could do without it. Usually I like sage. But, it is a detergent/cleaner to me. Here it just brings on that caravan scent and I was grooving on homemade exotic cooking and sensual sticky figs 5 mins ago. The sage just sort of cleans up if you will, the sweet figs and all the other nommy notes are pushed back a bit. Like someone scrubbed the kitchen  clean.

We will see about the longer drydown

I don't get a lot of fig in here. I was hoping for sweet, syrupy fig, mixed with the spices  and other notes. I think getting mostly cardamom and sage. 

But it smells warm and exotic. It's a comforting scent, and I think it would be great for evenings at home, reading and sipping tea. Curled up watching reruns of GoT.

This is my favorite of the NRs. The BF was reading the sage note as mint? Idk, I knew that I loved this one, the sandalwood pulled me & combined with sage almost tricked my nose into detecting pine or mahogany.  But I knew that wasn't it. Very exotic & definitely  for me.

This amplified on my skin and I think I will save it for colder evenings.. It cover cops too.

I’m finally wearing this today.

I tried it a couple of times and the Sage note was fairly strong but now that I’ve let it sit, the fig and cardamom are more upfront.

This is a great light summer scent. It’s sweet but not too sweet and slightly spicy.
