The Tailcoat Among Fragrances

Hardly anyone knows this niche house from Italy, and even fewer talk about it. Therefore, you can find almost nothing on the web, and the last reviews are from ages ago. I stumbled upon this brand by chance.

This fragrance embodies timeless elegance for me. Like a tailcoat that is worn today just as it was 100 years ago and has hardly changed in appearance. It smells almost a bit aloof, and if it were a person, it would be of the noblest descent.

I would even go so far as to say that it is the most elegant fragrance I have in my collection. The focus is on a balsamic woody base with a hint of oud, which receives its slightly powdery elegance from iris and cypriol. I also think I detect a hint of rose, which is not listed here. This is the fragrance I would reach for if I were going to the opera ball, a gala dinner, or other luxurious events. However, its versatility is somewhat limited.

I would rate the sillage as rather average. I think this is appropriate for its purpose, but also quite fitting. After all, you don’t want to stand out unpleasantly. That wouldn’t be proper. In this sense, kiss the hand ;).

Dry Wood with a Soft Base

The fragrances from Accendis unfortunately receive little attention here. There is only one review for each, and I am currently the only one owning an Accendis scent.
Maybe you are still a bit too new? However, you do cater to current fragrance trends with Oud elements and are well designed. My local perfumery has all three scents and of course had to present them to me right away. I liked Aclus the best; the other two were also very nice, but that’s not what I was looking for at the moment. I will definitely sniff Aclus 0.1 and 0.2 again.

Aclus starts off like many Oud fragrances, not very subtle, but we are used to that. After a few seconds, the chemical cloud dissipates and you can smell a bit of everything that is hidden in the fragrance. The citrus elements are rather weakly pronounced in the top note for my nose, but a wave of flowers emerges, and of course, a whole lot of wood. A bit unbalanced at first sniff, but that is misleading.
This variety quickly settles down and makes way for a very balanced blend with a lot of wood and a hint of iris. This note dominates the scent for quite a while and develops only gradually. I find the fragrance to be very dry.
What’s particularly notable about Aclus: You can sense the balsamic base. Even a little sweetness if you sniff closely. However, these remain in the background for a long time and do not define the fragrance; that role is played by the dry wood and a bit by the floral aspect. The balsamic component provides a wonderful softness, yet Aclus still feels very dry. Otherwise, it offers
The scent remains truly constant for a long time; over time, the balsamic elements gain a bit of space, and the fragrance becomes increasingly softer.

The ALZD blog also mentions pear notes and leatheriness. I don’t notice the pears, but the leather can definitely be interpreted in. However, it’s more of a noble handbag than a horse saddle ;-)
The fragrance somewhat reminds me of "Nisean" by Parfums de Marly in its dry woodiness. It is dust-dry-woody and also has resinous-balsamic elements, which also come across as very dry. Aclus has a distinctly softer base here without slipping into the often combined balsamic-spicy direction. I find no spices here at all, and that’s a good thing.

Aclus is an intriguing scent that, for me, is also well-suited for everyday wear from late summer onwards because it is not a loud fragrance despite the Oud. The combination of dry + soft-balsamic base is very well done and defines its character.
I would be interested in the community's opinion; I can well imagine that it evokes very different opinions. It is available at ALZD, so test away!
