The performance is a major talking point, with consensus that it possesses exceptional longevity and a powerful initial projection that can easily fill a room.
Opinion is sharply divided on the opening; while seasoned collectors appreciate the authentic, animalic Indian oud, newer enthusiasts often find the "fecal" or "barnyard" start off-putting before it matures on the skin.

Value opinions are polarized due to the luxury price point; while some justify the cost through its complexity and "natural" feel, others suggest that the late-stage scent profile can be found in less expensive niche alternatives.
