Trayee - это настоящий гимн ведической эпохи Индии и глубинной религиозной культуры страны. The name "Triad" symbolizes the three sacred Vedas: Rig, Yajur, and Sama. The fragrance immerses you in the atmosphere of temple rituals, Ayurveda, and yoga teachings, where eternal wisdom is sought. Neela emphasizes that the composition contains many natural ingredients used in Vedic ceremonies.

Perhaps even too natural and dense, which is not entirely characteristic of Bertrand Duchaufour's fragrances. At first, it seems difficult to distinguish anything beyond what's already mentioned in this variety of spices and woody notes. But as soon as the first spicy-licorice, almost liquorice-like burst fades, the fragrance becomes less dense. Cinnamon is brightly felt, continuing with myrrh. A cool smoky woody accord, created based on cyperus, patchouli, cashmeran, and vetiver, serves as a contrast. Yes, I'm familiar with this technique of oud imitation used by Bertrand. Through a dense dusty veil, a delicate, fragile fruity vanilla breaks through, pulling floral notes along with it, refreshing and, honestly, saving the entire composition. I note that this fragrance contains a lot of natural raw materials, which often affects its purity and transparency.
