Cologne Rosemary

Silvestre

Bravanariz 2019

For me, the Cologne Rosemary is a really nice, classic men's fragrance. Unfortunately, the performance leaves much to be desired - one should be able to forgive this in a cologne. The longevity on my skin is about 4 hours with a subtle sillage.

Since certain aromas are always perceptible, I will refrain from mentioning a top, heart, or base note. Overall, it smells greenish, herbal, spicy, citrusy, refreshing, woody, fruity, and resinous. I primarily detect pine needles, lemon peels, rosemary, basil, sandalwood, juniper berries, artemisia, wormwood, tarragon, bitter oranges, birch water, mandarin peels, and cedarwood.

As an everyday scent, the Cologne Rosemary suits me very well. I thank David for the sample.

Silvester's starship seemed somehow clumsy as it struggled with its ungainly landing into the earthly wilderness. Pine cones whizzed aimlessly in all directions, appearing awkward with their conical heads among all the conifers. Tralfamadorian camouflage. Their distant planet had become very summery warm, and so they sought relaxation on Earth. Silvester's cumbersome ship with its gigantic glass cargo hold served to transport the fragrance distillates that the tiny beings from the area harvested, to invigorate the population on Tralfamadore.
They collected bitter fresh juices from various citrus fruits, which they mixed with the cooling camphor of the pine needles. Oh, the aliens loved the ethereal cooling; in the heat of their homeland, it had a healing effect, the elixir of Earth, which soon became more balsamic and evoked resinous coniferous forest images, amalgamated with grated rosemary, tended towards ever spicier notes, so bitter-fresh, almost clove-like, that the cumbersome ship became quite light with the herb-green mist of the pines on board and flew off after three to four hours - with Silvester into the mists of summer.

Bravanaritz, based in Spain, is entirely dedicated to natural fragrances. The goal is to capture places through aromas and let the plants native to those areas speak. Wild rosemary tinctures, a fresh citrus heart, and the bitter, cool, but also balsamic and resinous aromas of pine evoke a cool, misty coniferous forest, a refreshing lemonade. The classic cologne invigorates the inhabitant of summer for only a few hours, moderately to skin-close.
