the gothest
This is the very gothest thing: tarry, leathery shadows, wet stony paths leading into the teeming dark, and moonless midnights presiding over all. Like being enfolded by bat wings, encased in obsidian, enveloped in a stark abyss. A silent secret from the mouth of one just dead. The departed speaker whom no one hears is you.

Standing in the mosh pit!
Sweat tears,Hard rock, Smoke! This smoky blaster gets you all good for any concert.

You stand in the middle of a crowd at a rock n roll concert. People scream, smoke, drink alcoholic drinks and just enjoy the vibe of the moment!

The smoke is just brutal and intense. You can literally describe it at freshly burned birch trees. The sillage hits most areas of the room and does never forget to tell everyone that you are now part of the party!

It's a great heads turning perfume, with a huge impact. I experienced both - positive and "negative" reactions. Most people are very much offended by strong smoky notes, which are needed and signature of nearly all Beaufort scents. That's part of their DNA - so what?

Get it to your nose! It was actually my first niche perfume back in the day and I bought it alongside Chicago High by Vilhelm Perfumery, which is the exact opposite with sweet and fruity note. But both share a alcoholic dark side.

Smoke and more
T&M is a great smoky fragrance. It opens with a good amount of smoke, tire rubber and oil. That lasts for only about 15 minutes or so until the spicy/resinous/woody notes appear to form a nice base under the smoke. It's not a smoke-only or burnt wood-only fragrance. If that's what you're looking for, you'd be better off trying Vi Et Armis by BeauFort. T&M develops into a complex but pleasant fragrance. Thoroughly masculine. Scent has very good longevity - after 8 hours it was still going strong when I showered for the evening. Projection is on the average side after the first hour or so. Really like this one and found the scent to be pretty unique.

Oh! Do you come from a bbq around a firebone?
I can recognize high quality un this perfume... But this is not my cup of tea...i know that nowadays are the smoky smells trendy... But this one is too much for me. I can only smell a bit of very poeerful an dirty incense and lots of smoke... It is like the Next day off Saint johns night... After having been the whole night around a firebone... As smelling experience is wonderful... But i wouldnt like to smell like this! The performance is great. Very good longevity and moderate sillage (but more than enough for this smell)...

Horror, Terror, the Before, the Before-Before, and the Beaufort
My last English teacher (advanced course 1987-1990) was quite an unconventional guy, at least at a venerable Humanistic Gymnasium with centuries of tradition. A rocker (and jazzer!), who, for example, didn’t mind if someone was not fit for the first two hours on Saturday morning due to Friday night festivities. That person was simply left alone.

Once, Mr. B. returned to us the 4-hour exam we had written the previous Thursday: “You wouldn’t believe how many cigarettes that cost me!” Camel without filter, by the way. We willingly accepted the occasional blur in his corrections because he always decided in dubio pro discipulis and was generous with points.

One day, he opened the class with: “Wow, last Saturday ‘Wetten, dass..?’ was on, and it was so bad that my wife went into labor out of frustration and had a baby.” He then distributed chocolates for the ladies and cigars for the gentlemen - but expressly also the other way around if preferred! It was one of those coincidences that couldn’t be better scripted that just at that moment the head of the upper school entered the room. Our head of upper school was… well, just the head of an old Humanistic Gymnasium with centuries of tradition. He surprisingly took it quite casually - but settled for a proper chocolate.

Mr. B. had a differentiation of vocabulary ready for our engagement with Gothic novels, which was supposed to make two different levels of horror identifiable. “Horror” was at the top of the scale of terror, “terror” was the more or less bearable form. We will need this thought later, but first, let’s get to the scent:

Tar? At most moderate, no comparison to the birch bomber ‘Hyde’ for example. Pepper - fine by me… A bit of saffron-muff is plausible. I soon think of vetiver from the smoky corner, quickly and also in the continuation flanked by warm, honey-like (Christmas) smoke. Upon request, a hint of licorice might be discernible, a bit more distinctly a paper note, presumably fed by vetiver.

Kyphi is an indication that is a bottomless pit, as it refers, according to Wikipedia, to an ancient Egyptian incense that can contain not only the usual suspects but also flowers, fruits, and honey, among many other things that are listed here - or could be. In short: The term stands for all sorts of things that can be smoked and essentially encompasses practically everything pyramidally.

Sounds like a terrible kakao-osmia is at play here. But not at all. Rather, ‘Terror & Magnificence’ offers a homogeneous mixture, where it is still possible to recognize one or another detail, yet none of them takes center stage. The scent remains surprisingly close to the skin overall; no complaints from my wife, who usually reacts very unfavorably to my incense man attitude.

The scent development is also manageable. In the afternoon, I would initially describe the candidate primarily as a characterful smoky vetiver (ylacetate) scent with rubber undertones. A touch of sweetness refines it: honey, perhaps amber, each a variant of the smoke faction. Gradually, the companions push further forward and quote ever more openly sweet smokers like the aforementioned ‘Sahara Noir’ by Tom Ford. Judging by the quiet sillage, the timid ‘Larmes du Désert’ from Atelier des Ors would also naturally be a partial reference.

I imagine a hint of vanilla additionally. And in the final hours, I sense a rounding contribution of chocolate-patchouli, which makes me think from afar of ‘Sandor 70’s’. Perhaps especially because I think it’s so great and have worn it often in recent weeks. Nevertheless, I am pleased to discover something like this at least in principle here.

Conclusion: If horror is the dread and terror is the eerie, then the so-called terror from ‘Terror & Magnificence’ is roughly limited to a feeling as if in a book read aloud in a cozy setting, someone is telling a cuddly horror story.

Far from the overreach of some other Beauforts. Nevertheless, a beautiful, successful, and quite wearable scent, which, however, lacks distinctive features.

My thanks go to M3000 for sharing.

Metallic, rubbery, slightly medicinal, spiced incense.
Morphs into a leathery, resinous affair on wet cobblestones.
Magnificent? It sure is.

Staircase carved in solid rock. Ritual that should never have taken place in this world. Slimy lake stretches into the darkness. Green flame

Literally Sauron, but also The Secret History when Henry casually reads a book in Sanskrit. Then, a dash of religious temple.

Nothing terrifying. Pleasant birch tar, cypriol, and tobacco with hint of myrrh and medicinal note. Lacks the brilliance of older releases.

A smoky, mysterious blend of incense, tobacco & vetiver in Terror & Magnificence. Its dark, complex notes evoke ancient rituals and empires

No problem with the performance, as incense tends to have with me, and the cough syrup turns to tar... I can't even find the catch huh?

Less terrifying than magnificent - smoky resinous vetiver, dark and imposing, but not all that tough of a wear

I only can smell smoke, more smoke and a bit of a very powerful and dirty frankincense... I cant find the balsámic notes. Great performance

I love your leather:
fruitless, sensually spicy, slightly smoky, sexy dark resinous, minimally sweet, a bit dirty, "terribly magnificent"
