Varanasi is a divisive, intensely complex fragrance that celebrates animalic and unusual notes in service of its artistic vision. While appreciated by experienced collectors who recognize the birch tar and leather nuances, most find it uncomfortably harsh and burning rubber-like on skin, making it a true acquired taste rather than a mainstream offering.
