The Rejected Light

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.

My dear, with tears in my eyes, I read your beautiful text today; I'm wearing the fragrance. And it reflects so much of me, just like your words. It seems made for me. Warmest regards!

I unfortunately don't know the scent yet, but your comment-I've rarely read something so wonderful and at the same time so deeply sad. You describe fragrances so uniquely that one dives into another fascinating world. Amazing!!!

I’m drawn to uniqueness! What a wonderful comment, Can! I’m sure this scent will suit me too! Dark Sapphire never quite reached me...

Your comment hits the mark... introverted-melancholic-dark is how I see it too, but I really don't like that sweet-annoying vanilla-styrax base in this context. A little poke for the fragrance connoisseur ;-)

I think I’ll grab that too. Hardly any scent has disturbed and fascinated me like this one. Dark Saphir is great as well - but it's quite different, more floral. I got a Black Amber sample with it. BA is earthier, almost medieval, but definitely something completely different. I really like it.

That's why you can still like him, just like you do, Pokalt.

Even if you were the unwanted child, I can't with this scent; it feels to me like smoke from a sooty chimney on a damp day.
