Riwayat is the first fragrance I've worn in a week since contracting Covid. A short 5 day soak and low temperature Distillation in the old ways. As soon as it touches skin I get wafts from arms length. Buttery cheese, viscous and silky smoothed texture with a strong woody essence. The cheesiness fades to leathery mid-tones, the overall impression is neither too dark not too light. There are notes of dry grass and hints of golden hay, as it wears, and it wears well into the hours, picking up facets of dried dark fruit & honey'd tobacco. This oil is very rounded, no sharp edges and it's one of the better performing oils in my stable. Overall I place this 2022 oil among my favourite Hindi, which are my most treasured oils and I'm positive it's going to improve with age.
