It starts off with a beautiful sensual bouquet of florals - I mainly detect Jasmine (Juhi in Hindi) but done in a very artistic, smooth and serene way; Not at all sharp or indolic.
In about 2-3 minutes, beautiful lush roses🌹 start peaking their head through the silky-smooth bed of florals.
With all of this, there is a presence of a calming aroma of black warm ‘chai’ / tea ☕️ framing this beautiful composition. After about 10-15 minutes, the roses start to bloom in all their glory amongst the jasmines and other florals.
The tea note is prominent and helps keep the florals at bay without letting the composition get overly sharp or sweet. At the heart and base, I sense a low hum of oud that’s very tame and composed.
After about 30-40 mins, the florals 💐 are no longer in the forefront but rather share an equal footing on stage. The composition now starts to get a little sweet probably from the tea being more present. At this point the oud 🪵 is also more noticeable but still very much in the background.
At about the 2 hour mark, the oud 🪵 is quite noticeable along with the tea, and the florals are still there but not as dominant.
