Tulaytulah is a highly distinctive fragrance that blends almond, tonka bean, and suede with green cypress and star anise, creating a sweet, powdery, and slightly synthetic olfactory profile. It opens with a striking, intense cypress and star anise note—reminiscent of aftershave or cleaning products—giving it a sharp, almost medicinal character that some find off-putting. The initial burst of almond and vanilla quickly evolves into a warm, bittersweet suede base with a subtle, aromatic tonka and frangipani, resulting in a complex, nostalgic aroma. Many describe it as resembling a soft, powdery doll or aging memory, with an unmistakable plastic/pasty character that some adore as eerie and comforting. The scent is notably long-lasting, with moderate to strong sillage, especially in cooler weather, and performs well through the day and into evening. It's not for everyone—some find it overly sweet, reminiscent of baby powder or expired cream, while others are drawn to its uniqueness and intimate, intimate sillage. The fragrance leans unisex but appeals most to those who appreciate intricate, food-like, or synthetic accords, and who enjoy complex stories behind fragrances. Its high-quality bottle with artistic design matches its experimental character, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs seeking an unconventional, well-blended scent with depth.
