Pagan incense

Rosarium is a balsamic incense-based scent (as the name suggest, with its “liturgical” reference) with overall a bit more complexity and color than many other niche incense scents; there’s a sweet-powdery floral accord comprising a hint of honey (quite dry and really subtle), jasmine and a dusty-buttery note of iris and carrot, and a nice, quite natural and almost raw woody base where you get both cedar (I mean “real” cedar) and vetiver. While many niche incenses smell quite synthetic, this one plays actually the “natural” card; incense itself is surely a bit artificial but here it’s surrounded by a really pleasant and compelling frame of earthy “nature” – carrot, flowers, woods, honey. All crafted in a quite subtle way, to keep incense as the main note. Somehow dusty, somehow gentle (flowers, powder), and overall much quiet, meditative, kind of gloomy as you would expect given the notes – but not overly dark, just more “churchy” with a feel of archaic rawness. Like the rest of this line, this scent as well evokes an intriguing feel of “Mediterranean gothic” which I find quite compelling and well played here as well. It’s still basically and incense scent and personally I am more than tired of this family, so don’t expect anything groundbreaking; but still, this is really nice..

Channeling Andy Tauer (or a tale of torture by powder)...

Rosarium opens with an accord resembling black ink, with hints of underlying dusty dry vanilla. As the composition enters its early heart the black ink accord vacates as stark musk-laden frankincense joins the dusty, highly powdery vanilla as it grows into co-star status adding a slight amount of sweetness in its wake. During the late dry-down the frankincense recedes, leaving the powdery vanilla, picking up a bit more sweetness along the way while adding supporting varnish-like woody vetiver through the finish. Projection is very good, as is longevity at 11-12 hours on skin.

I had high hopes for really enjoying Rosarium based on its impressive official notes list, but alas it wasn't meant to be. The key culprit is effervescent, dusty vanilla not unlike the intolerable stuff Andy Tauer uses as his signature base. If someone told me Tauer was the "ghost perfumer" behind Rosarium I would absolutely believe it. That said, while the perfumer isn't Tauer, the actual nose must have been awed by his style as the similarities are incontrovertible in my opinion. Also very Taueresque is the musky, almost root-beer-like co-starring accord that adds an off-putting element to the fine frankincense presentation in the composition's heart. In truth, if one can either get past or enjoy the vanilla root-beer float aspect of the composition, Rosarium really isn't that bad, it just represents the polar opposite of my preferences. The bottom line is Rosarium channels Andy Tauer pretty well, and those that enjoy his compositions will near-certainly enjoy Rosarium too. Unfortunately as one who doesn't, the composition was a non-starter about 30 seconds in, only geting worse as time passes, earning a "below average" 2 to 2.5 stars out of 5 rating and a strong avoid to the powder averse. While this is a major pass for me, those that love Tauer's powdery vanilla signature should give Rosarium a sniff as it will most likely impress (even though it is not by Mr. Tauer).

Churchy herbs

Sharp myrrh and herbs initially. Then a warmth of almost cooked carrots blends with resinous smoky vanillic woods. The initial blast almost had me running, but stay with it and it heads to the churchy burning incense zone. I'm really confused to the stated notes of this line because i'm just not picking them up as they say.
I've given this sample box a good run and my overall verdict is 'challenging'. If you like unusual scents then this range may be what you seek. 'Pretty' doesn't seem to come into it but 'interesting' does.

This one has a quite gentle churchy myrrh herbal drydown that is worth persevering for.

Icing sugar incense

Rosarium is the third point on the triangulation of what I like to call the ‘powdered sugar incense’ category, between the rose champagne fizz of Maria Candida Gentile’s Sideris and the doughnutty yumminess of Reve d’Ossian (Oriza L. Legrand). I am drawn to the gently edible edge to these incense perfumes, because they calm the naturally sharp angles of frankincense by filtering it through the haze of powdered sugar that rises off a sweet bun when you bite into it.

Rosarium is thickly dusted with the double powder whammy of iris and benzoin in its topnotes and made slightly sherbety with the addition of rose or lemon. As others before me have pointed out, this combination of iris and incense is reminiscent of the Tauerade present in both Incense Rosé and Les Années 25 (Tauer), although far less powerful or astringent – Rosarium is softly, sweetly bready, rather than battery acid radiant.

But what really makes Rosarium special is the carrot seed accent, which gives the powdery incense sweetness an unusually earthy-rooty depth. This smells like metal slicing through upturned earth, but also like a warm, mealy pulp made of sawdust and rainwater. The carrot seed effect makes my mouth water, although technically there is nothing edible about it. I notice that the carrot seed present in Santal Blush (Tom Ford) has a similar effect, except for the addition of cumin, which makes it even wheatier.

The combination of sweet incense dust, milk-soaked Easter bread, and metallic earth or hazelnuts in Rosarium is pretty wonderful, and if my ‘powdered sugar incense’ needs weren’t already being met by the brighter, more natural-smelling Sideris, I would seriously think about putting it on my putative ‘To Buy’ list (whereupon it would likely languish for years).

Desert Tea

At 18, I went to Egypt for the first time with my mom.
On the way from the airport to the hotel, I thought: What am I doing here in this wasteland?
Sand, gravel, a rock, more sand and gravel, a rock. I was already bored at the sight.

We were there for a week, and when I got home, I realized how much the desert had captivated me, the light, the tranquility, the scents.

Thus began 4 years during which I flew to Egypt every holiday week whenever I could afford it - I was practically craving it.
Of course, I fell in love too... as it often goes.

Sayed was significantly older than me, spoke perfect German with an Austrian accent, and was a tour guide. He mainly led excursions that took tourists, riding on dromedaries, to (of course, prepared) Bedouin camps.
There, we ate, admired the starry sky, and sometimes even spent the night.
I was always there, of course - I could never get enough of the atmosphere.

Once, he took two weeks off, and we went on a real road trip, visiting friends, family, going to the pyramids, in Alexandria, he told stories, explained things, I listened, marveled, and wanted to see everything - but mainly we were outside, on the move, “hiking” from one tourist Bedouin camp to the next, just us, the hot days, the mild starry nights.

I can't express the magic I was caught in, how free I felt, how much one with everything.
Never before had I felt this way, and never again after.

Of course, we always had plenty of water with us, but when we were in one of the camps, we drank tea.
I still don’t know what kind of tea it was (maybe mugwort?), but that scent was for me the epitome of those evenings when it slowly got cooler, the light faded, and you heard nothing but the soft voices and the bubbling of the tea water, smelled nothing but the delicate fragrance rising from the pot - dusty, slightly minty, woody, herbal, mild, a bit bitter.

At some point, I knew I couldn't endure this holiday relationship long-term. I started a terrible argument during the vacation, behaved horrendously towards Sayed.

When he took me to the airport (he was so sad... and so was I...) he handed me a large bag as a farewell, well wrapped and tied. I didn’t want to show any weakness, stuffed it unnoticed into my suitcase, and simply flew home.

Back home, I opened the bag - my tea.
He had given me my tea.
I buried my nose in it, took a deep breath, and suddenly I was back there, in my beloved wasteland, Sayed beside me and the stars above me.
Only then could I cry.

The tea that “Rosarium” reminds me of so much, I kept for years. I only rarely made myself a cup. Most of the time, I just sniffed it and dreamed myself back.

I never heard from Sayed again.
And in the 16 years that have passed since then, I have never been back to Egypt.
