Dense Full Dark Glow
Incredible - what a dense, deep, voluminous, opulent scent!
"Rejuvenating" from "The Exclusives" series of the extremely limited Anniversary Collection opens with an exceedingly dense, concentrated accord full of substance, density, and richness from iris root and violet absolute, deep, dry, dark, enveloping, powerful, almost tangible. Bergamot and chamomile support in a very classic and effective way, while tarragon adds a subtle spiciness.
This highly potent, dark floral, slightly spicy, almost impressively shimmering from within in the deep darkness and glowing in dark tones central complex-dense note soon rests on an infinitely creamy-soft, gentle, no less deep bed of balsamic and aromatic woods like cedar, Mysore sandalwood, tonka, and agarwood/oud, connected and supported by vetiver. Iris and violet glow darkly and seductively elegantly on this rich base - fantastic!
In a time when the thousands of fully synthetic fragrances thrown onto the market become increasingly trivial and ridiculous in their colorlessness and annoying randomness, scents like this, in their uncompromising nature, in their incredible quality, in their courage and attitude, are the islands of art, permanence, tranquility, and the knowledge that all this continues to exist for knowledgeable noses for whom effort and knowledge are valuable, and such extraordinary experiences are reward enough. Thank you, Boadicea!
