From Time opens with a noticeable synthetic edge. The peony note feels manufactured rather than plucked, sitting on the skin with a plastic sheen that some will find off-putting. It lacks the dewy realism found in more expensive floral compositions. The black currant in the heart adds a tart, jammy quality that clashes slightly with the jasmine. This fruitiness is loud and sticky rather than elegant.
The rose here is a heavy, red variety that dominates the midsection. It mixes with the white floral jasmine to create a dense, pollen-heavy atmosphere. As the scent develops, the oud enters without the medicinal sharpness often associated with the material. It is a smooth, dark wood that grounds the sweetness of the fruit and the weight of the petals. Patchouli provides an earthy, damp soil note underneath the flowers.
