Vanant In Astra 2025

I have a feeling like carnation and rose are like brother and sister flowers. I might like carnation better.
I love the opening : deep and dark tar, very warm and spicy.
Unfortunately I get a little too much rose in here. It's plump, red, with a seducing vampire profile. Really beautiful but I don't quite feel like myself wearing it : she is a bit too classy, to lady-like. It reminds me of a human Lady Dimitrescu.
The ambery base is really good though.

The fragrance notes already hinted at it, but the scent exceeded my expectations.
It really is a profound, deep black fragrance that begins with berries and then continues with a dark rose. It is underpinned in the long term with a somewhat greasy tar film, which ensures a decent to above-average longevity.

I have to say, blackcurrant is not always my taste, but the carnation-rose combination simply impresses. Positive for some, negative for others. I think it all depends on how you feel about the black carnation.

In any case, I like it and it reminds me strongly of a darker version of Sleeping Beauty. A german fairy where a princess sleeps 100 years in a castle which is surrounded by deathly roses. The fragrance reflects the part that is often depicted in the movie via a time jump. The thick tendrils of thorns cover the castle and make it impossible to penetrate them. The pitiful attempts of the failed princes who tried to reach the princess cover the forest floor with berries, rose petals and the injured tendrils of vegetation. The trees and bushes bleed ... black.
A deep darkness surrounds the scenery and the smell intensifies year after year.

For me, a mysterious, dark fragrance that I won't wear always and everywhere. I think this fragrance will stand out and wants to stand out at events in the evening and at night.
