Campfire with Incense
Immediately after spraying, a sharp scent shoots into the nose; the red pepper combined with the strong incense creates a strong flame that makes the campfire begin to blaze. The absinthe quietly makes its presence known, barely able to compete with the loud crackling of the high flames, but it does soften the sharpness a bit.
Once the red pepper has burned away, the leather takes over and provides a different kind of smoky sharpness, where the incense acts as a crackling wood that always sets the base tone of the fragrance, with changing notes coming and going like individual flames.
As the fire calms down and the vanilla emerges through the strong incense note, we are left with a still hot, but only softly crackling ember, in which the leather occasionally flares up again, but overall the fragrance achieves a pleasant balance.
The scent, with its strong, smoky incense note, reminds me of "Bohemian Oud | Zara," albeit in a significantly sharper and thus probably less likable variant.
I don't quite understand where the scent wants to connect with the bohemian aspect; it has little lightness or sparkling creativity - on the contrary, it is rather heavy, sharp, and bitter. But the Atelier and I seem to have different images of what bohemia means. We have wood in abundance for that.
In the brief description of the fragrance provided by the Atelier, I do agree with some parts: I definitely find the approach of a passionate song about fiery adventures reflected in the scent, but I don't understand the idea of loyalty to roots while simultaneously embracing new beginnings; to me, there seems to be little that is truly new or innovative about the fragrance.
Overall, the fragrance is an interesting journey through an incense campfire, but personally, it is too sharp, too bitter, and not balanced enough in many places for me. An exciting sample, but no purchase will follow.
