Also called the Lamed Vev, two letters in the Hebrew alphabet that translate to the number thirty-six. In this violent, ugly, strife-riddled world of ours there are thirty-six men, the Hidden Just Men or Hidden Saints, who bear on their shoulders the burden of all our pain, sorrows and sins. The Tzadikim Nistarim move in obscurity, and are usually found among the poor, the downtrodden and the meekest among us, and are chosen for this task because of their righteousness, stalwart sense of genuine justice, and the true goodness of their souls. When one of these men dies, God chooses another to take his place. It is for their sake and for love of them that God does not destroy His imperfect creation. As long as the Lamed Vav serves humanity, the world will continue to plod on, but once one of them dies and God cannot find another worthy to take his place, the world will be destroyed. In Qabala, the thirty-six men of the Tzadikim Nistarim together combine to symbolize the seventy-two bridges, corresponding to the seventy-two names of God, that connect the concealed and revealed worlds of our universe.
The scent is one of unadulterated spiritual purity, with a taste of the world’s eternal pathos, and the joy of suffering with grace: frankincense, olive, spikenard, hyssop and galangal.

I really enjoy this scent. Its more apricots than peaches , in my opinion however. The rose is faint, its not in your face at all, but its present enough you get hints of it as it dries down. When you first open the bottle what you get is this musky/woodsy apricot scent. Then when you apply it begins to slowly dry down and fade away and the wood (oud i assume) begins to soften and mix with the musk and rose.
I short I would describe this as a warm/wood apricot scent as opposed to a fresh floral peach. Its lasting power is really long too and its throw is pretty good I would say as well. 🙂
