"Engage with me... Discover me!"
When I sprayed No. 8, I also didn't know what to expect. "Aldehydic oak moss," promises Dannielle, so boldly into the adventure I go. At first, I am greeted by a very earthy, almost dry leather. No sweetness - one would expect just that light fruity-citrus note from the bergamot in the ingredients list, like in so many others. So, No. 8, you don't want to be put in a box right away. And I like that. It quickly becomes clear to me, it's not I who wear you, but you take me along. You don't call for surprise, but rather say dryly: "Engage with me... Discover me!"
After a short while, our journey brings us to green notes. It's not a clearing in the forest that opens up, but rather a subtle, creeping bitter green that seeks its space. Vetiver and oak moss, self-assured - not loud.
A little further down the path, wood appears subtly with a light sweetness and accompanies us for a nice stretch. This new charmingly softer side surprises and invites me to continually accept my quiet companion as something not given. I am puzzled, what is this sweetness? No. 8 seems to be watching me with a grin and saying, "Do you recognize it?" And then, suddenly, cocoa and tonka open up in a duet. Realization suddenly sharpens the senses. I know they are there and now smell them in their bitter shell. I enjoy this warm balm that wraps around the soul. It's nice that you accompany us.
No. 8 does not want to overwhelm in a storm, but to be discovered. For me, it is a scent that I wear primarily for myself. Continuously discovering what gently approaches - fascinated by clear lines.
