Double Sense
This is not perfume. This is fragrant music. Music that goes straight to the stomach without detours. Not intellectual, not filtered and not trimmed for good manners and beauty. Instead, powerful, good-smelling rhythm. Blues rock at its best.
Lime, champagne, gin? Can be, it beads in any case. From the beginning, there is force and presence. Who has ever seen the wonderful concert film "Stop Making Sense" about the Talking Heads, knows what I'm talking about. David Byrne enters the stage and things start slow and rhythmic until the rest of the band members arrive. Same here. And then the aroma of "Burning Down the House" hits my ears and nose. What an opening... I switch to "Once in a Lifetime" as the opening calms down a bit.
Iris, violet, jasmine and other florals? I don't care, notes are not important here at all. They add only small flashes of light to the voodoo magic. Moreover, the peppery leather quickly shows up now, very sexy and spacey. Along with a fair amount of smoke. Both together only leaves room for old classics like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Another Brick in the Wall" or what have you. Also Ginger Baker's drum solo from Cream's "Toad" fits perfectly, but is hardcore....
The smoky leather slowly greens and calms down. What remains has soft tones and puts me in a gentle, calm mood. I think of "Rough God Goes Riding" by Van Morrison with its wonderful sax solos. Thus, the fragrance sounds out, beautiful....
For all its psychedelic rockiness, Voodoo Flower is dominant and present, but in fact never loud or intrusive. A very physical fragrance for nose and ears, which immediately sets head cinema in motion. At the same time completely portable.
My two pre-commentators also noticed the music in this fragrance. Marilyn Manson is nothing for me, but the world is colorful. Floyd has been inspired by Jimi Hendrix. I'd like to follow that, but it doesn't work. The yelping, screeching, winding in endless loops Fender I do not hear here, unfortunately.
The perfume has a wonderfully appropriate name.

In-between world
Floral saffron,
infused with ethereal green
Dark brown polished wood with earthy patchouli
A little sweaty, but without sweat
Woven smoke - transparency
So or so my statement could have been, if the space had been enough and I had only few sensations...
