Let the kobraa bite you
I will tell you a little story.

I smelled this fragrance for the first time half a year ago and it blew my mind.

I have smelled a lot of fragrances but with this one i felt as the first time i smelled interlude, back a few years ago. This one opened my mind and created the need to get a bottle.

I spent the next six months trying to get a good offer for a bottle until the opportunity rose a few days ago.

Three official notes. Geranium, Franquincense and Oud. Of course this is a lie but oh my god, what a lie. I wish more fragrances lied to me like this one does.

This is a picture of a funeral pyre (minus the body) geranium flowers above and below the oud and the incense that burns

Dark, seductive, addictive

The Queen of crime
...... definitely Margret Rutherford for me. As Miss Marple, she was unbeatable. I loved those black and white whodunits with stories that were never boring. And she was cool, nothing rattled her. She was tomboyish, had a sassy mouth, and was hilarious. Agatha Christie didn't think so, but didn't interest any fan of the actress.

Kobraa certainly wouldn't have worn it at the time - more like Bluebell. But if she were alive today, I'd wish to smell that on her. The way she often stands there, smiled at by the inspector, deliberately playing dumb. And then in the end she knows who the murderer is.

Kobraa starts with me with the unpopular rose geranium. From this flower goes already times a coldness, shortly before to become metallic. Happens often with me with rose geranium. I find them harsh and cool. Then I add incense and oud. For me, it now becomes more pleasing and the scent crime continues. If I were to describe it as an image, I'd say someone put a box of dry ice there. The incense conveys a coolness, which I have not smelled so yet.

Someone who wears Kobraa is respect-inspiring, spreads a feeling of aloofness. I wouldn't want to wear the scent, even though I admire it as a work of art. The scent reminds me of Aventus, where I smelled metal. Kobraa is more pleasing and smoky to me, but just as icy.

Cobraa
My first comment in this forum will be directly the first comment for Kobraa. Up to now I have never had this immediate urge to put my feelings into words and share them with you. I like to associate scents with character traits, to mentally associate images, memories, places and situations with a perfume
Kobraa fascinates me immensely, he seems in a certain way sublime and rather arrogant. Less cuddly, but still trustworthy. None to cuddle, rather a heroic protector. Not a crowdpleaser in this sense, but he will attract a lot of attention.

For me, it starts out very fresh, cool, crisp, spicy. In English I would say crisp. Then comes the rose geranium leaf, it slowly lays down like a veil and captures the first wild impressions skilfully and confidently balanced. As it progresses, the fragrance increasingly relaxes and develops a certain calmness. This is probably also because my nose relaxes and gets used to the scent. The incense is present throughout. The oud now starts to press, but not in a negative sense. It gives this fragrance the perfect depth for me, it seems neither too heavy nor too animalistic. It supports the rose geranium leaf, complements it restrainedly. Fascinating how Cavallier-Belletrud created such a masterpiece with only a few, but high quality ingredients.

Many condemn the Le Gemme series by Bvlgari as overpriced and not fair to the price. It is up to each individual to judge this. For me, they are very special fragrances which, in addition to their clearly scented, high-quality components, in the world of fragrances a class of its own and, in my opinion, even define.

In conclusion, I would like to say that, despite previous praise, I will probably not get Kobraa. Even if this fragrance fascinates me so much, it should be enough for me as a bottling. Out of respect. It has to fit its wearer and the wearer should not (have to) justify (daily) wearing it with hype. For the time being I will not wear it fully, but will enjoy its quality and sublimity every now and then.

Something very special here! Geranium leaf if it was transformed into a luxury gelato, flickers of dry incense and clean oud. Mind blowing!

I smelled this fragrance and I loved it, it smells like incense but it's a fresh lemony smell, it's like when you burn palo santo in a room.
