Chembur smells like pungent smokey air outside a third world city in the far east somewhere. There is incense, burning woods, and a dark leather scent that keeps the fragrance mysterious. The opening is very captivating but as the middle notes evolve a strong scent of nutmeg and ginger mixed with the labdanum and musk evolves into a filbert nutty fragrance that undermines the dark leather incense notes. Softens and trivializes the dark brooding opening. It is a very compelling fragrance of contradictions. I find I love this during the first few hours but am less impressed with it the longer it wears down. Like all of the Byredo fragrances it is very unique.

A very pale, somewhat watery incense scent for everyone who finds Bois d'Encens or any of the CdG incenses too strong and offensive. Almost zero sillage and very modest longevity. A big disappointment compared to the other partly beautiful fragrances in this line.

The worse of the four Byredos that I tested (I decided to give Rose Noir a miss). It’s, at best, a faint citrus-musk scent with fleeting traces of the ginger, nutmeg and incense.

For those who love understated fragrances, this may appeal to you but it was painfully nondescript to me.
