Now I'm really irritated
Yes, really, because what I'm sniffing out here and what I'm feeling doesn't necessarily correspond with all the comments and statements I've read here about this mysterious fragrance.
But what I totally d'accord is the perception of this cool to coniferous incense. There has already been speculation that Iso-E-Super might be in play, which I wouldn't rule out either. Thus, this Elemi-resin core, which is actually reminiscent of the Series 3: Incense series by Comme de Garcons between Kyoto and Avignon, remains the absolute pivotal point. This is on the one hand fascinatingly beautiful, but surely also for some people strangely metallic to cold.
What is personally confusing to me now is the warm and dull note that comes later, which I somehow place between earthy patchouli and benzoin. Patchouli is also officially stated and had also mentioned Aava. The experienced perfumer knows that both earthy patchouli and benzoin quickly bring up associations with chocolate or cocoa. In this case just discreet and absolutely unsweetened.
Who knows me well, knows that I think about chocolate too often. Unfortunately, Gustorisch may be right, but olfactorically I am not always present with these thoughts. Nevertheless, I feel this note, which can also be classified as balsamic and organic, is a little out of place. Certainly it is an acceptable contrast to the light incense, but without it I would have found Craft much more interesting. It's just a matter of taste, as so often.
Maybe it is also a totally subjective perception or my bottling was not flawless. Due to the lack of Andrea Maack fragrances in the perfumeries I was unfortunately not able to do a cross check. And what Craft can deduce for the design of a white paper dress is something I also cannot decide. Anyway, I'm confused.
