The review
On paper, Trajan is a reasonable bet if you want Herod for less.
Nilafar du Nil sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Herod's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Nilafar du Nil publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cinnamon and pepperwood, turns to tobacco leaf, incense and osmanthus, and settles into vanilla, cedar and musk. That is the brief Trajan is working from.
Top
- cinnamon
- pepperwood
Heart
- tobacco leaf
- incense
- osmanthus
Base
- vanilla
- cedar
- musk
For the one who wants a warm cinnamon-spiced tobacco leaf smoldering into sweet vanilla and cedar, an unmistakable cold-weather signature that turns heads.
