Desert Sermons by Toskovat' is a fragrance for Women & Men

A sticky, resinous & exotic ambery gourmand extrait with rare notes and accords:

Today, I remembered for how long I was lost, how far I was gone.

What started with a trip turned into a chase, then an unquenching thirst.

Pilgrims trying to understand the world by seeing more of it are like weasels eating more honey to understand why only bees can make it.

Are they the only ones that make it? 

Years into my dive, I observed a stereogram of fear. All the knowledge of the world within a grain of sand - no longer in communion.

Now, how does one go back home?

Great Scent

Great resinous amber with a lite gourmand vibe. Like dark chocolate and honey stored in wood box that once held incense. Lasts for ages.

Amazing

Smells like a monestery out in the desert, a sublime union of incense, wood and fire. Extremely powerful, although I think I went nose blind to it due to frequent use, so be mindful that less is more. Really intresting to later this with archanist

One of the best in my growing collection of niche scents!!

Purchased DS on a hunch and boy am I glad I did! This is one of the most mysterious but intoxicating scents in my collection. My wife LOVES how this dries down on my skin. One of the best!!

Good - but not Great

Toskovat' has been one of, if not the most popular new niche fragrance brands taking the internet by storm. Many Instagram fragrance pages have a Toskovat' fragrance featured in nearly every post, or every suggestion to a person asking for recommendations. While I think some of their fragrances are masterpieces with nearly unanimous agreement (ex. Ichigo Ichie, Age of Innocence), others fall into a strange category where reviewers write overly verbose descriptions of otherwise much more simplistic and straightforward fragrances - Desert Sermons, to me, falls into the latter category.
It's sweet - very sweet - to the point where the dryness of a desert completely leaves the mind. Incense notes are present, but I was hoping for maybe some more complexity on this front in terms of maybe some dry herbaciousness, or otherworldly Spice notes other than the currently present frankincense, labdanum, vanillin, and benzoin, that could shift one's mind towards Arrakis, instead of Dubai. I'd like to see this fragrance evolve into a different reformulated direction, since many of David's other creations show his ability to conjure up his inspiration's imagery with an uncanny accuracy. Unfortunately, for me, this doesn't quite do the same.
It's a good, competent, sweet, slightly spicy fragrance - but falls short of anything else, at least to me.
