Black Amber Agonist 2011

There you stand before me, telling me your story of sadness and drama. You reach out your hand from the darkness and pull me down into your exile. Bitter-sweet is your voice and dry its sound. Shreds of light are still visible on your garment. Remnants of your old life. Memories cling to you like shadows. Resinous and smoky are your tears; I wipe them away with my hands. They no longer wanted you in the light. You were not welcome in the sweet glow of warmth. You had frightened them with your otherness. The fire you have ignited does not burn bright, but saturates in your world. Smoky melancholy is your counterpart. Now your time has come. Come with me into my world.
There is enough space for you on my skin. To me, you are sparkling and beautiful like a black diamond in the moonlight. You are dark, glittering, and unique in your rarity. You are home!

Conclusion
Black Amber by Agonist is certainly not for everyone. But it is a fragrance that tells a story when you let it and listen. The story of an unwanted child who was sweet, but nobody wanted. Thus begins Black Amber. Sweet and bitter. Over the course of the young fragrance, it is characterized by a life of spice and ecclesiastical smoke, in which it lingers for a long time. Age makes it a wise but grumpy scent of black amber and patchouli. A lonely but strong fragrance. Even in its longevity and sillage, it feels rather closed off and reserved to me. It is well-worn by both men and women, if one appreciates its dark-melancholic nature.
I do!

I thank Meggi for presenting a fragrance that seems made for me.
