EO2: Tonkin

How surreal that musk from Vietnam was considered a closed chapter of history. Then, out of nowhere, like a bowling ball crashing through the window, the Sultan’s vault broke open and what came out hit like a comet which left a crater in the perfume world.

He gave you musk so old and sticky and black and oozing with an animalic roar that would make most perfumers tremble – this was not the musc they’re sold and told to use – the kind that looks like water, nice and clean.

He spoiled us. After smelling the SQ aromatics stowed away over half a century… how do you go Yessir! to big bro now? You got to trade in your bootlegs for the stuff of legend – literally… academic papers wrote about this musk like it’s an artifact, a prehistoric relic we know once existed but nobody ever saw or smelled.

Not to take anything away from the first No 2, but if you wanted to make a musk perfume to end all musk perfumes, this is the contraband you wish you could dunk into your blend.

Nobody saw it coming. Then… bam. Smack in the middle of lockdown as you wait to hear what the lab says about your empty vials, you get handed Vietnam’s forgotten treasure with an obvious mandate, “Here, go make it now!…”

The sweaty, sensual signature of No 2: Tonkin flows with jasmine, the kind that requires tons of petals to turn into oil, proper otto, and blackcurrant, a sticky mess to work with but a sweetener par excellence to tease out the zesty treacle-like bite of musk itself. 

The leather jacket is full-grain – it may have cuts on it, scars and bruises. It wasn’t spray-painted with chrome to remove any trace of character and make it all nice and uniform to please the masses who vote for the artificial, the fake, the lifeless muscones and jasmarones and call for a ban on… this smell. 

Georgian rose and coriander waltz onto the floor creaking with wild Kepi agarwood that bleeds red sambac in a primal, peppery R-rated scent of steaming bedroom sweat, spent. Musk.

The old, olde Tonkin musk adds some proper animalis to the husky heart bulging with civet and spice. From the colored slopes of Namaqualand to the shrubs lining surfing coasts and riwoches galloping through Tonkin mountain paths, cumin and helichrysum musked-out, drunk on black tea and castoreum.

Before it became a commercial (synthetic) staple, the sensual funk of the muscus grains had baffled and bewildered perfumers for centuries. They toyed and tried, and eventually mastered musk’s alchemy. And that’s when the party started… and how the Ravageurs were born.

No 1 was a humble addition to the mighty cuir tradition. EO2: Tonkin, a tribute to the cornerstone of all things fragrant:musc, made with the same musk our ancestors traded like gold and carried around bare in their pockets – it smelled that good.

Featured Testimonials…

Whenever someone mentioned Ensar Oud, the first thing came to my mind have always been the association of EO1 and EO2. They are the quintessential releases from the house. As a huge fan of EO’s musk in general, this new Tonkin version from the EO2 line has got to be the best version I have ever smelled, immediately climbed up to the top of my favorite EO2.

The Tonkin here hit hard and deep without holding back, immediately reminiscent of Notes from Underground without the mushroomy funkiness, this variety of musk has this thick and dark chocolate undertone, very creamy and velvety smooth texture, mixed in a bit of juicy blackcurrant, a touch of resinous Wild Kepi Oud, but at the same time retaining all the spices backbone from the OG in the mid and far dry down.

EO2 Tonkin smells a lot more polished, matured, with a lot more depth than the OG, Kashmir, and Tibet versions to me. There’s zero animalic funk from the Tonkin, no pissy/urinous tonality like the Siberian variety, just a boatload of mouth-watering aged dark chocolate musk on top of the OG’s spices core.

 

FWIW, No this doesn’t smell anything like the Tonkin Musk PP, this EO2T stays true to the EO2 lineage with the heavy spices at the core, whereas the Tonkin Musk PP is floral driven that smell very different from top to bottom, they are not interchangeable, this new EO2T smell more like a cross between the best of NFU and EO2 OG to me.

 

Hands down, this new release is my favorite and best EO2 to date. If you are a fan of the EO2 series, you are going to love this new Tonkin version. Projection is excellent, two sprays is enough for me to get a full wearing and being wrapped in a very nice scent bubble.

—Ben W / USA

This version of eo2 might be my favorite. In my opinion this one’s closer to PB than the other versions that I’ve tried. The cumin is not as heavy as it was in the Kashmir version, and everything feels way more polished and juicy.

 

Speaking about juicy… the black currant is so extremely good in this version of eo2. The sweet and fruity berry note fits perfectly into this musky brew and it smells absolutely delicious.

 

UPDATE:

This is the perfect EO2 for me. It reminds me so much of private blend which I’ve sadly missed when it got released last time. The cumin has been toned down and the juicy berry notes are more present.

 

The Tonkin musk was indeed the best choice for EO2.

—Chris A / Germany

Reviews of previous editions:

When folks complain about these fragrances being linear I often ask myself if we’re smelling the same thing. EO2 has this incredible depth that seems to open deeper into the olfactory abyss of musk each time I smell this. There’s a blast of bitter centennial hops in the opening that are slightly terpenic with a citrus underbelly. I’d imagine this connection is due to my affinity for the aroma of fresh hops with their syrupy sweet but bitter floral character. A certain fizzy green cola effect is happening now with what feels like anise and cumin slowly growling in the distance. Dry, peppery woods and musk round out the heart and sweet cola laced Mysore and Oud weave in and out of the wearing.

The drydown of this is something to behold. I feel there’s three distinct stages to EO2. One of which is the opening. The bitter florals seems to blast off with musk and spices but slowly give way to the heart. This stage lasts 5 minutes or so before the main notes of the heart come into play. The heart itself can be divided into two categories. As the spices and florals shift around they eventually settle into a late stage gourmand esque’ dry woodiness. After quite a few hours the drydown shows up. Sweet, ambery musk and liquid gold that feels like a mix of condensed milk and turmeric along with Mysore drift out into the ether. I’m always left clueless by the initial reviews that claimed this lacked depth. I wonder if Ensar had waited 3 years to release this what the response would’ve been after both his touch and Mother Nature smoothed out each individual accord.

I think when it comes to furry, spicy musk this truly is a masterpiece. I wish I could smell these new iterations of Ensar’s love affair with Musk Deer but I can’t imagine anything taking the place of EO2 in my heart. That’s not a slight to the directions he’s heading in as a perfumer either. I just feel that the intensity and bold stature of EO2 didn’t exist before this and won’t exist ever again.  It’s a testament to the mind of an Oud man who’s journey of perfumery is more than just acquisition of materials or hype. It’s a labor of love for a material that was so misunderstood in the West before he stepped into the arena. Thank you! – Aaron, USA

EO2 is the perfume of the century! It will sell for next 100 years just as is.  – Muhammad 

I own almost every spray parfum that Ensar has made I believe. As well as some that haven’t made it into spray format yet. For me this is Number 1 of them all and is possibly number 1 in my entire fragrance collection. I even find enough difference to own both the EDP and the PP and will likely buy the Private Blend version as well. – Ryan, Canada

I also wanted to share my thoughts about the EO No 2 Pure Parfum. We have already discussed in the past how much I love this scent. It really speaks to me. I will enjoy wearing the Pure Parfum version throughout the fall and winter months and then the EDP during the spring and summer months. I intend on “tucking” the Sultan Musk attar away. The EO 2 is a fragrance that I can wear every day and never get tired of. That’s big for me to say because I grow tired of most fragrances after a few days. Not the case with this one. If I had to give up all of my other perfumes and only keep No 2, I would keep the EDP (spring/summer) and Pure Parfum version (fall/winter) of EO 2. I’ve smelled and owned a lot of fragrances over the years and this scent is unlike anything that I’ve smelled in my 45 years. I will hate to see this one go… – Mr. Jackson, USA

Smell is such a subjective thing, and with EO No 2 it changed depending on weather humidity etc… What I can tell you is the feeling I get, and that is of something sacred, old and long forgotten. Something of forest and fire, spice and amber hued musk. Black roses green coriander, soft and plush of fur and warmth. Tinged by darkness that flickers in and out of ones sight like a shadow at the edge of consciousness. It is a wolf in the clothes of an emperor, manners masking fur and fury. – Ryan, Canada

I’m really enjoying EO No 2, it’s very fun with the drydown on my jackets lasting a week or more after application. – Murry, Australia

There is an urban wolverine aspect of it I really enjoy. – Ziteng, USA

I am a huge fan of EO2. I have 2 X 9.5 ml PP tester and 50 ml EDP. This is my backup order. I just can’t get enough out of it and never want to be out of it. The quality of the ingredients and craftsmanship is beyond anything in this composition. It’s not a fragrance, it’s an unmatched experience. – Raj, USA

Soubhan Allah!, EO No 2 for me is not a charming perfume that has any match in Western fragrances (some have compared it to Mitsouko from Guerlain!) No, to me EO No 2 is an Attar ..the Musk … is pure … it’s Spiritual … some very high quality Oud tone (nuance) … greenery … flowers … it’s a garden … nothing to do with dirty or barn. No, it’s all just heavenly … this is how I see it … the most spiritual attar that I have felt, exactly what I expected from him … a scent that really touched my senses. – Nacer, France

The EO2 has already transformed substantially at least from my perception. It’s the most wonderful smell and the musk is psychoactive even in this edp concentration. At first I was a little thrown off by the alcohol content as I’ve only ever used pure parfums or attars and the alcohol seemed to muddy the heart of the fragrance but now I can fully experience the glory of musk fulfilled to its fullest. Ensar has done such an amazing job with these two. The most beautiful facets of musk and leather fully realized respectively. They’re absolutely gorgeous and profound works of art. – Casey, USA

EO No 2 EDP is AWESOME! I knew it would be similar to Sultan Musk Attar, and it is, this is like a having a cologne and a pure parfum version of the same scent. IMO concentrations have become somewhat meaningless with synthetic fragrances, as the concentration of molecules is often much higher than anything natural, so it ends up being something like 2 different formulations with the concentration being kind of ambiguous and the pure parfum being a more lavish formulation vs the EDP or cologne.

But this is different, the dilution of the EDP gives the fragrance a different presentation, it comes off even more like a vintage perfume, like something Guerlain would pull out of storage on a special occasion and is decades old. This is recognizable as a traditional French musc fragrance by the average person, as long as they are old enough I guess… 🙂 but it’s quality is SO MUCH better than anything mainstream.

I’d wear the EDP with a suit and tie, the attar with more casual evening wear. Sultan Musk Attar is one of the best fragrances I’ve ever experienced, so having a 2nd significantly different version is more than welcome. 🙂 – Dave, USA

EO No 2 – this is to be worn any time and anywhere, blends perfectly with everything. – Hanna, Australia

I repeat again: No 2 is the best pefume that I have smelled in the last 10 years!! How could I have missed it?! Incredible, mashaAllah! – Khaldi, France

OMG!!! I just got my package. I’ve only tried the EO2. I can’t go any further, I’m stuck. I am totally blissing out right now. This scent profile is everything.  – Tiffany, USA

The EO2 pure parfum is simply breathtaking. The first whiff was overwhelming and led to a rather loud ‘SubhanAllah’ (whilst still in the box!)… Applying the parfum is a phenomenal experience! The animalic muskiness and the gentle fruity undertone work in soft equilibrium. By far, an exquisitely composed artisanal beauty.” –  Qasim, UK

Your perfumes do something to time. They make it more permanent. More intentional. Thank you! – Matt, USA

EO #2 EDP is AWESOME! I knew it would be similar to Sultan Musk Attar, and it is, this is like a having a cologne and a pure parfum version of the same scent. IMO concentrations have become somewhat meaningless with synthetic fragrances, as the concentration of molecules is often much higher than anything natural, so it ends up being something like 2 different formulations with the concentration being kind of ambiguous and the pure parfum being a more lavish formulation vs the EDP or cologne.

Sultan Musc Attar is one of the best fragrances I’ve ever experienced, so having a 2nd significantly different version is more than welcome. 🙂  – Dave, USA

So intriguing. With this one I had no idea what to expect as the results of musk-based scents are all over the map (at least in my experience). It’s much greener than I had expected but not in an overly-bright way. Lots of dirt and earth-floor (which I love)… maybe that’s the glorious musk doing it’s job? I do understand some of the comparison to Mitsouko that I’ve read but this is unlike anything else I’ve ever smelled before. It’s both simple but also extremely nuanced which must be a result of using such top-notch natural materials. Not a harsh note to be found anywhere. I really look forward to spending more time with this and trying to understand it more!  – Joe, USA

My journey for finding the perfect deer musk based came to an end. I´m really happy with EO2. It has the right portion of animalic and wearable floral notes. Cant wait to wear it in Winter time. – Alvet, Germany

For the first time in months – MONTHS – I tested a new release & was immediately inspired, passionate, transported, transfixed & overjoyed. For the first time in months, I smelled something & immediately sat down and wrote 4-5 pages of notes and text within the first hour alone.

It was scent as pure joy, the way it’s supposed to be – but hasn’t been in ages. It was scent as an emotive, transportative experience & mental escape, the first time in ages that something has cut through the morass & nightmare of the outer world.

Sour, spicy Red-green roses, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, lime-bergamot, leather, labdanum amber, civet, animalis, cedar, smoky woods, styrax, licorice-y Tolu balsam, AND genuine, ethically & legally sourced deer musk.

Musk that smelled like the most expensive fur coat tinged with vintage Mitsouko parfum, the really REALLY old version (circa 1930s/40s) which was redolent of fur, leather, heated skin with tangy sour rose-bergamot above a spiced, resinous base.

I barely contained myself from spraying half the bottle from head to toe. It’s not a cheap scent by any means, particularly in the extrait/parfum version, but it was glorious! Every drop! A rare exception to my current fragrance cynicism, malaise, apathy, contempt or boredom.

The calfskin leather with fuzzy, furry, resinous musk, all in a cloud as texturally soft as the finest cashmere sweater or the angora fur on a bunny. Laden with sour green-red roses, smoky cedar, chewy ambered resins, chocolate earth, & a plethora of fragrant, aromatic spices.

I’m so happy to smell something not just good, but SUPERB, transportative, perfectly balanced, harmonious, so vintage skewing that it gives a finger to IFRA/EU & opulent as hell, rather than laden with abrasive aromachemicals. I’m so goddamn happy. THIS is what scent should be! – Kafkaesque, USA (Click here for full review and scent note description by Kafkaesque!)

I cannot understand people who say that this fragrance does not contain real musk. I feel that it has musk in its pure and raw form – it is very potent and unapologetically animalic. – Igor Masyukov, Fragrantica

EO2 that I bought is still fantastic….I get compliments every time I wear it.  – Mark, USA

I must say this is one of the couple fragrances that I have smelled in my life which is so magnificent. Lighter then Iris Ghalia which I own also, and a master piece. I was hoping to buy one more as back up as I don’t want to be out of EO2… – Naushad, USA

I LOVE this perfume. For me It is almost narcotic. I feel as if I were wrapped in the finest Kashmir scarf. – Pirkko, Finland

EO No 2 (EDP) is a garden of earthly and heavenly delights. The tangy, subtle sweetness in the citrusy opening heralds a dignified and refined rose smoke. These notes are in turn accompanied by a sublime musk that takes everything to another level again. As crazy as this may sound this fragrance has many similarities to the legendary Gucci Envy for Men (minus the ginger, add the rose & smoke). Ensar has accomplished his aim to create an atmosphere of ageless, noble refinement but there’s a party going on here as well. Crazy good juice. – Rev. A. F., Australia

Let me say how happy I am to have these perfumes. Firstly because they are a wonderful return to the art of the real. It was such a joy to try them and to experience something other than the generic fumes that masquerade as perfume these days. Then the pleasure of travelling through the different and sublime layers of each one and to experience them also with a backdrop of burning chips of Vietnamese wood.

I am in love with the wonderful animalic fixatives, particularly the civet in EO No 1. When I was a boy growing up in Malaya, I had a civet cat as a pet. These animals really do smell deliciously sweet and the same scent echoes in the dry down. Then to follow through with the musc in EO No 2! You know, for the first time in a long time I have people asking: “What is that beautiful cologne?” And then to be able to reply, “It is NOT cologne!” Many thanks, Tuhan Allah, for instilling such craziness in Ensar. – Nicholas, Australia

Many of us have come across a siren, rocker, either singer or bass player, that had a succubus grip on our male attention. Wild eyes, with pheromonal command in her animal skin. This is the scent inside the leather lining of her pants… If you are too prude for this, this scent isn’t for you or you just haven’t lived. – ‘Jitterbug,’ Fragrantica

EO No 2 is everything I’d hoped for. It’s early days yet but I absolutely get the Borneo Zen note, but without the floral jasmine. This will no doubt quickly become a favourite with me and I’m really delighted with No 2 as well as No 1. — Eoin, Ireland

Das ist viel mehr als ein Parfum: es ist konzentrierte Natur. Harmonisch verschmelzen holz-blüten-animalisches und Oud. Auf der Haut getragen, fühlt es sich an wie eine zweite Haut: es integriert den Eigengeruch, fächert ihn auf und füllt ihn mit hundert natürlichen neuen Duftnuancen. Man wird eins mit allem, wenn man diesen Duft trägt. – Heidrun, Germany

Right now when I am writing this reply I am in a different world, I don’t know how I can express this to you. I feel as if your Parfum carried me to the connection I have with my Creator or I just whiffed my whole 34 years of existence in one breath. This to me was a rehash of my life till date. – Afthab, UAE

I own the first version of EO1 already, which I highly appreciate. This one is even better to my liking… I tried it before purchase, waited a bit because of the cost, but I am so happy to have purchased it. Masterpiece is the sole adjective one can use for both of them. – Ruggero, Italy

EO2 is also fantastic. Fresh and woody-leathery and a bit animalic. I just fell in love with your creations. I hope next month it will still be available because I will inshallah purchase it. – Waleed, France

It is for me the best fragrance based on musk that I have tried in my life. It is not like most musks with spices that overwhelm, here the spices are an amazing accompaniment, but at all times the Musk predominates, which I appreciate immensely. It is always usable at any time. I am quite new to Ensar Oud, but this occupies one of the first two places of this house in my collection. Thanks for this marvel, I have a bottle of the EDT and two 7.5 ml testers of the pure parfum. – Carlos, Mexico

First Spray… and my scent memory kicks in helplessly… A certain familiarity here with the jasmine tea, civet, mehndi/henna & incense notes (Aurum D’Anghkor?). Add to that a fougerish top. The scent lightens and out comes the sensual fog of musk. A silken cloud of carnal adventures wrapped in soft, sandal sprayed leather. Naughty & Saintly at the same time. It’s going to be a fun ride decoding the new Ensar composition. A new Era “Renaissance” in perfumery has begun with the arrival of natural, wild perfumes from the modern “scent vigilantes” who are breathing life into ancient alchemy. I am sure perfume lovers across the globe are as thrilled and happy as me. I truly believe a PROPER perfume goes much beyond just fragrance. – Nikhil, India

Out of all the (real) musk scents I’ve tried, EO2 and Sultan Musk Attar were the only ones where I could feel that carnal, sensual sweet-ish musky scent, particularly pronounced on my skin in the drydown. It’s a revelation in a perfumery world filled with stripped of its true characteristics “musks”… – Neringa, Ireland

EO2 is for me today the only real representation of the deer Musk that has enchanted entire generations. – Vincenzo, Italy

Yes, I absolutely love No 2!!! I wanted a bare-bones, strong, benchmark musk fragrance that lets the note stand on its own and this is exactly what Ensar delivered here! I love Ensar’s philosophy when it comes to his new perfumes… find the highest quality source material and step back and let the notes shine on their own. His ever-so-slight use of pepper and spices only serve to enhance the musk note, not influence or overshadow it. Overall I am very lucky to have this in my collection, no other musk fragrance is in the same ballpark. – Adam, USA

First off, congrats on EO #1 and #2. They are addictive, and they evolve in such interesting ways. I’ve found myself using them both before work, and after work, and especially on the weekends. I’ve also been using them on my jackets, shirts, and even my pillows! I love the leather on the bottles and it’s become a ritual to smell the bottle deeply before using any of the EDP. Aroya Kyaku, the new one, goes well with both of them and I sometimes wear them together. EO #2 is like nothing that I’ve ever worn. It really changes into something very personal, doesn’t it? It’s perfume as entertainment, both of them are. I watch a film, I listen to some music, I wear EO #1… They all get the imagination firing in different ways. We all know that feeling of coming home after work, and choosing the film that will be perfect for your mood, or the day that you’ve had. And the film helps you make sense of your day, it gives you something to reflect on. It’s the same for me with your oud. It’s so much fun. – Matt, USA

I have to say I was pretty surprised about EO 2. I’d expected something more “dirty”, since I’ve owned a couple of synthetic musk perfumes and they always had an odd, sharp note to them. So it came as a surprise to me to see that EO 2 is much more subtle. The drydown is incredibly beautiful and I think musk and oud play together very well, each coming to the surface from time to time. — Kai, Germany

EO No 2, where do I start? I applied the smallest drop from the bottle to my wrist fearfully expecting a pungent scent of the musc to overwhelm me. When I raise my wrist, to my surprise I am greeted with the most amazing fragrance! Alhumdolillah. Warm spices, peppercorns and cloves to begin which fades into the background quite quickly to reveal the underlying musc which is intertwined with a rose that gives a musky sweet pipe tobacco vibe… absolutely magnificent and intoxicatingly beautiful. Dare I say it, it’s better than No 1? No no no… let’s say it’s the older more mature brother from Siberia. Bravo, team Ensar once again for knocking it out of the park! – Siraj, UK

I received my EO No 2 parfum edition today. Been wearing it all day and I adore this gem. I also own Russian Musk and Inverno Russo, which are also truly exceptional fragrances, but this one smells completely different with no overlap. The EO No 2 is a very sophisticated, rich and mesmerizing journey. A staple in my collection that I will cherish, love and enjoy for life. Much love and respect for all your hard work! – Peter, Sweden

EO 2 is simply amazing!!! Nothing like any parfum I’ve tried or owned. It smells so green and fresh at first. It’s got this undertone of musk but not overpowering. It lasted almost two days on my t-shirt. My wife who isn’t a huge fan of overbearing fragrances actually loved it. I love it… simply put!! It smells a lot like the Sultan Musk Attar but less subdued. I really do hope EO 2 is a massive success for you. It’s simply an amazing fragrance. – Nazif, USA

How intoxicating! The power behind just one spray of the EDP. Such an elegant fragrance. It’s as if I was transported back in time to the 1920’s and invited to a gentleman’s cigar lounge. The mixture of barbershop aftershave and suede leather. The lingering of pepper, clove, and lime in the air as I move about. The clouds of pipe tobacco that softly float in the air. The inviting warmth of bitter chocolate offered up with rye whiskey hidden under all the soft whispers of the scents before. This is a fragrance I don’t think I could ever get tired of. And the surprise on the inside!!!! How unique! I think it will only add to the uniqueness and the fragrance profile for years to come. Thank you for making such a wonderful EDP. My friends are already asking where I got it. – Andy, USA

My Ensar Oud #2 is fabulous. One of the best in my collection. The musc and spices are phenomenal. Ordering a second (backup) bottle. – Robert, USA

As for the EO No 1 and 2… Just fantastic! No 1 (EDP) is supremely divine! Such a classy and refined scent. Majestic! No 2 is something just a little more; more complicated, primal, mysterious. I can wear No 1 at any time of day, for any occasion, and feel justified because the set and setting will only serve to amplify, accordingly, what I bring out of it and what it brings out of me. But No 2 is a bit more tricky. For testing purposes, I have worn No 1 to work, at night, midday, for a walk around town, etc. But I have not as of yet allowed myself to be so liberal with No 2 as it is something that, for me, requires more thought in when and how to wear it. – Steven, USA

I received EO No 2 today: Alhamdulillah it’s gorgeous at every level! MashaAllah you brothers have nailed this musk scent, which knocked me back the minute I sprayed it; the complexity is amazing. Thank you for the special gift, which is very much appreciated. Many thanks to all at Ensar Oud for making this and sharing it with the world: May Allah reward you for it, Ameen. – Asim, UK

I’m exercising strong self-discipline to not just buy another bottle. – Jasim, UAE

It reminds me of the adventure books I used to read when I was a kid. It makes me imagine I’m a character in a Karl May novel. I’d probably wear it when I want to feel more adventurous, outdoorsy type or when I want to project that image. It’s also clear that the quality is off the charts. I’ve never smelled anything that does this to me. It’s probably because it’s based on natural ingredients (i.e. musk) as opposed to synthetic ones. Thumbs up. It’s a keeper. – Mihai, US

Arrived today. Thank you so much. Amazing. Test sprayed and on first sniff was amazed. Top quality. Definitely alchemy! – Steve, USA

I thank wholeheartedly Mr Ensar for all his efforts and fatigue to extract this wonderful oil for us. This EO No 2 perfume is a masterpiece. I will keep it for life and lots of thanks for the gift. – Fahad, Oman

To me, this is very different from Russian Musk, which I also adore. I have to admit, I love this fragrance! It’s not so complex in my mind but it’s incredibly good smelling once it has gone past the first hour. From there on, it’s just love love love! I get the feeling I will never smell anything like this anywhere else again. I enjoy the EO No 2 Pure Parfum more than EO No 1. I do also agree that this is a fragrance I never want to be without. 1 spray is well enough and the longevity is crazy. – Robin, Sweden

Loved EO NO2 on first sniff because its so different from what I was expecting the musk note to be. The florals in the dry down are good quality as well. Its night and day different from EO NO1 which I already own. – Anwar, Pakistan
