Comfortably puzzling
Baruti perfumes play with the senses. Either in a good or a bad way. I consider this to be one of the strengths of the brand. They never leave one indifferent. With Oh My Deer!, a perfume was built around a synthetic deer musk accord. Now, Spyros does not go down the path of normality, so get ready for something odd.
If I was to describe the scent, all I can make of it is "Furry musk with a metallic edge and a few soap bubbles". Not the old school civet-aldehyde type, but another -more abstract- kind of soap. It is hard to grasp. The metal is one of the first notes to appear and to wear off, while the soap bubbles stay. Lily-of-the-valley was mentioned, but I do not get a serious floral vibe here. In fact, it is hard to distinct any notes. A mixture of facets. There is a bit of contrast between warm and cool, but I would say that the cool wins. Not fully clean, but also nowhere near dirty. Overall comfortable and friendly, not a tiny bit of harshness.
While wearing, I found myself over-analyzing, trying to pinpoint accords, structure, development. Then I realized there is no point. This stuff is abstract. In hindsight it was a fun experience. A puzzle without solution. But it also lacks something that tempts me to revisit.
