Review of Experimentum Crucis by RINA

The fragrance opens with the fruity scent of apple. Lychee adds a touch of freshness, creating a seamless transition from apple to rose—a perfect illustration of the rose dominating the apple. The distinctive aroma of cumin makes its presence felt subtly from behind the Akigalawood. Patchouli provides a structured backbone, while a honey accord weaves in a rich depth reminiscent of resinous sweetness. As time passes, the cumin—which had initially kept a low profile—gradually emerges. It is unique how the scent asserts its distinctive character while remaining perceptible.
