Resinous, fruity delight

This is beautiful and like all from this range very well made using fine ingredients. It opens with the most resinous peach on me, mimosa and honey follow and the base notes come into play on dry down. It reminds me a little of Slumberhouse Kiste, but is by no means a copy, i actually prefer Agartha and find it easier to wear. It is not cloying but it draws you in and engulfs you, masterpiece!

Please don't use it as underwear

You surely know those edible bracelets made of pastel-colored beads (also available in some stores as a lingerie version)? That's how Agartha smells to me. Sweet candy, fruity grape sugar. Green sour apple rings. Maybe also melon and pear.

As it develops, it remains sweet, honey-sweet, although darkening. 100% natural? Maybe, but it doesn't feel that way to me. On the other hand, kids today find yogurts with artificial strawberry flavors tastier and more authentic. It doesn't help that the scent develops a slight earthiness after one to two hours, which I attribute to the patchouli.

To me, Agartha feels kitschy despite its more old-fashioned name. However, April Aromatics has mostly surprised positively and often more seriously than expected with their samples, e.g., with the campfire romance of "Bohemian Spice." Overall, it's a brand worth trying out.

As a floral amateur, I like to believe blindly that Yatagan is a mimosa cannon. I mainly envision the sweetness of the pearl thing and think: Please don't use it as underwear.

Can you please smell a bit quieter?

Uncommented Fragrances No. 118

Writing a text about a fragrance that has neither comments nor statements available, which has only been controversially rated three times so far, is a somewhat uncomfortable challenge. The fact that it is a rather controversial brand, occasionally accused of esotericism and quite high prices, does not make things easier. How one feels about it is something everyone must decide for themselves.

Once sprayed on the wrist and on fragrance strips, it becomes immediately clear why this scent is perceived as contradictory: Agartha belongs to the olfactory statements! I am not talking about avant-garde fragrance experiments or fecal oud games, but rather about a traditionally composed scent that, however, does not take prisoners.

Mimosa is indeed a rather difficult flower. I usually struggle with its honey-like, somewhat dusty or waxy, sharply sweet scent. It becomes easier when the mimosa is well integrated, as is usually the case (rose, white flowers, woody base, amber, etc.). However, here there is none of that. The mimosa hits hard. So, you have to like it.

Instead of integration or framing, Tanja Bochnig has even set further strong accents here: the fruity notes are clearly perceptible and almost amplify the floral scent: a honey-sweet syrup flows through the nose, and to top it off, real honey is also included. One can easily imagine that.

Then, the spicy notes quickly develop: Indeed, it smells intensely of hay, like those hay packs for rabbits that have such an intensely dry-floral scent when you tear them open, suddenly throwing a wave of hay and dried flowers in front of your nose.

In the base, everything further condenses, and especially the tobacco, which almost organically develops from the dried flowers and hay and, of course, pairs well with the honey-sweet accents, is intensely perceptible. I initially didn't want to believe that patchouli and oud were supposedly included, as I don't smell them this time (Hello? Patch? Oud? You can usually smell that!), but in these rushing rivers of olfactory stimuli (mimosa, honey, hay, tobacco), such notes probably get drowned out.

With the description of this scent progression, which can almost be read like a book on skin and fragrance strips, not everything has been said yet. To return to the beginning of my remarks: The fragrance smells quite loud, calls out to the surroundings, is a statement, even if longevity and aura are not as severe as with some oud bombers. Here, it is more about the combination of projection and composition, if you know what I mean. I recommend it for home or when you want to overpower something: smoky bars, Asian food, the mainstream scent of your best friend, grandma's pot roast. I like it best when it doesn't smell so loud anymore, when it becomes a bit quieter and says goodbye. Then it's really good!

P.S.: It reminds me of Slowdive by Hiram Green!
