Chocolate is a kind of meditation for some people too :-)

Thank you, dear. I really like this one, but I don't need to have all the fragrances. This one especially costs as much as an e-bike :-)

You have such a charming way of describing the scents you like, dear Eggi. 🥰 Sometimes I think it just takes that one perfect fragrance to be infinitely happy... 😊

Maison Margiela can pack it up :-)

That sounds kind of soothing, but also very rich and intense...

For some, it's calming, and for others, it's unsettling :-)

Beautiful picture. I have no idea if this direction would suit me, but I find it really lovely to see from afar how much they capture you.

This one doesn't quite reflect the scent profile my fragrance soul craves, but I appreciate its craftsmanship.

Beautifully described as mysterious, but it might be a bit too animalic for me.

I would probably like this one as the successor, although this one sounds more unbalanced based on the description. If that's the case, it really shows Adam's development well.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 2 years ago

That's a valid question. 50/50 :-)

Translated · Show original

NeverPerfect 2 years ago

The question is whether it’s intentional for it to come across as wild, or if it’s just because the person hasn’t mastered it yet, making it seem rough and unrefined.

This rough and untamed quality is exactly what some Artisan enthusiasts are looking for, not the smooth stuff.

In the dark oud direction, my favorite is Eaglewood by House of Matriarch.

It could just be an oud oil, yet it's so multifaceted.

Since the animal notes are hardly present, it sounds good.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 2 years ago

Exactly, more of a wild animal vibe.

Back then, I couldn't get into the successor at all. Tastes evolve over time. I've heard this one is quite similar. I don't remember it very well anymore.

All these notes create a reverent oud accord. It's like a Russian oud, serious, dark, rough, wild, and less sweet/gourmand. The leather-animalic scent doesn't smell animalistic but adds a wilder side to the oud. A hint of chocolate-cocoa and sweet balsam in the background make it a bit more approachable.
Fans of oud with a darker soul might have found their 10 here.
