A journey to the stars, through the Andromeda Nebula, straight to the Milky Way. A star continues to rise, and that is Quentin Bisch's….
What has been achieved here? Quentin's decision to make “Decision” an olfactory devotion, a quiet, transcendent space.
You enter the fragrance with an ethereal sweet myrrh, slightly sugary and a bit sharp, lightened by bergamot and pepper. Then the typical Amouage frankincense joins in, bright, green, fresh. The juniper hides a little, as do the patchouli and cedarwood. However, the vanilla in the drydown is a pleasant partner to the now balsamic myrrh….
On my skin, Decision becomes a fine milk, delicate, calm & subtle. Quite different from the lightning strike in the juniper announced by Amouage, I find myself in another place through this composition.
Warm, flowing spicy milk envelops me and brings me back to childhood when you could buy milk ice on a stick for 50 pfennigs and felt quite grown-up for a moment.
For me, a beautiful symphony that draws its strength from silence and tranquility. It doesn't always have to be loud. I love the quiet tones. As if a familiar person were whispering a beautiful fairy tale in your ear. Dreamlike.
