Octavian
Octavian by Electimuss is an unisex extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with saffron and pink pepper, moves into rose, bulgarian rose and frankincense and dries down to amber, oud and leather. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
