Past & Present

Past & Present by Lost Tribe is a fragrance for women and men. Past & Present was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathew Schmuelian. Top notes are Bulgarian Rose, Turkish Rose Oil and Ambergris; middle notes are Rose de Mai and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are Vietnamese Oud and Sandalwood. The name highlights the best of the past from Sultan Qaboos's secret stash, as well as, the best from the present the highest quality oud extraction. While I did add some fresh rose to boost performance and the top notes of the Bulgarian rose from Sultan Qaboos I kept the overall blend simple as to not dillute them out. The rose brings out an ethereal lychee citrus note that I have never smelled before. The dry and wet pods were also special in their own way, the dry has an incredible smell of a musk perfume on its own while the wet pod no longer had grains but instead a musk jam underneath the skin.
