Wholly Unique Amber Experience
Sheesh, how to start this review…
I’ll admit Crivelli makes extraits that make me go “huh, what is this??”, curious objects put forth amidst the sea of Sauvage Eau de Toilette and Le Mâle Elixir – a mysterious monolithic ambre presence in the middle of a dark jungle, one that’s a worthy trek for those that crave adventure.
From open to close this scent, like Patchouli Magnetik, morphs and changes at a glacial pace. Patience is key with these extraits.
The ChromatiQue Jungle —
The First Steps:
Davana, a note I find quite meditative if I’m being honest. Its green herbal aroma greets me upon first spray, slightly tea like, alongside a very resinous and slightly oily note presents itself in the first 5-10m on my skin. I find the sillage of spicy herbaceous aromas, quite enveloping for around the first 30 minutes and some (though most) may find it headache inducing especially if more than two small sprays is applied.
Further into the start of this journey, an interesting turn – a stark contrast of spicy and fruity notes collide amidst the Akigalawood and amber accord as it radiates from my skin. Already this amber is unique in its own right, the contrast of fruitiness to spicy resinous facets is shocking at first. It’s a little cold and a tad metallic lending from the pepper. But keep treading, the journey has yet to come to an end.
In the Heart of the Jungle (T +6hrs):
Deep in the heart of the chromatic jungle an ancient fire roars. Incense warmed by crackling Amberwood, benzoin droplets pool by the base of the fire emitting its warm ambery tone. The smell of vanilla wafting in the air amidst tendrils of smoke and resins.
The spiciness has fallen off some, there’s now a pronounced ambery aroma mixed with a hefty dose of Akigalawood, and it’s warm and slightly sweet with a balanced unisex feel.
The Steps out from the Tree Line (T +12hrs):
All that remains of this journey, is the sweet aroma of vanilla and incense, amber continuing to pulse from my skin. I can smell the woody aroma of the jungle behind me, however it’s a fading glimpse. I’ve been shown an array of dazzling colors and aromas, like flecks of chromatic roygbiv paint dashed onto a canvas, this scent offers an amber experience unlike any other I’ve smelled. This trek will remain to be worth while.
Afterthoughts:
Is this worth $295/50ml MSRP? Perhaps. Given that very little goes a long way with Crivelli extraits, it could be worth saving your money. Crivelli of course is a very “love it or hate it” house, so, your opinion on perceived worth may differ. This scent is well worth a sample however, especially if you like spicy resinous profiles!
