everything flows....
…. and some things are then gone.
According to the World Wide Web, the term pantha rei summarizes Heraclitus' doctrine of flux.
He once postulated that a continuous change of substance and form occurs. A metaphor for the processuality of the world.
Well, to be honest, it was quite mundane that motivated me to test the fragrance: the combination of incense with aquatic notes in the top note, as these are my two favorite fragrance directions that I see united here for the first time.
Right after spraying, it is initially very fresh and clear, almost airy fresh - but only for a few minutes, then the incense comes through immediately with a slightly bitter accompaniment. According to the description, that should be thyme, although I wouldn't have recognized it as such.
After about an hour, it becomes very quiet, just a delicate whisper. I have to get my nose right up to my skin to still recognize something.
It turns into a soft, gently creamy tone that is only very subtly roughened - I can't really identify anything concrete. Besides a bit of vetiver (the slightly earthy one), I'm missing the entire middle part. Only a delicate musk-amber base remains.
I am really disappointed, a dreamy beginning that disappears very quickly.
Or is it supposed to be like this?
