Oriental Spice by Estéban

*****
Year: 2008

Notes: cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, lily, benzoin, Tolu balsam, sandalwood

Comment: Oriental Spice is part of Les Orientaux Collection

Estéban launched a new fragrance collection in 2008, named Les Orientaux, comprising of three oriental Eaux de Parfum. However, in comparison to their other two creations, Ambrorient and Orientalissime, Oriental Spice is most definitely the least impressive of the three.

In a nutshell, it lacks sufficient substance, and comes across as somewhat hollow and incomplete. The spices are just about detectable, with a light sandalwood, benzoin and balsam base, but that's pretty much it. The lily is virtually negligible and whatever development occurs is far too nondescript and subdued.

With stealth sillage and average longevity, it's a brutal disappointment.
