Simply Irresistible
Yes, scent and wearer should always form a unity. And an incredibly good fragrance does not automatically make someone fascinating and great in my eyes. But there are scents that make me weak; anyone can wear them, and I am initially blown away. By the scent. Even if I don't like the person, it can still be that the scent stays in my memory forever. Even positively.

Among these scents, which I find absolutely irresistible on a man, is this one: Deep Deep in the Baltic. I completely miss the Baltic Sea reference here, and I was initially surprised when I sniffed the fragrance and simultaneously read the name on the spray bottle. Despite a certain green undertone from the herbs and a balsamic green base with a lot of wonderful labdanum, I first thought of an oriental scent. The fragrance is very resinous, and also slightly smoky. Not a sacred incense, even though there is no shortage of incense here. It rather evokes a bit of the association of an oriental souk.

What makes it so irresistible for me is the base note. This labdanum and the amber notes. Simply wonderful. I love balsamic scents like this on men. Especially this dark green, balsamic note feels very familiar to me and makes me almost a little giddy. That one, that great men's fragrance from my youth comes to mind once again. It was also balsamic-green and had fine, slightly sweet amber flecks in the base.

But I also cannot completely dismiss a certain similarity to Andy Tauer's L’Air de Desert Marocain. And this despite the green notes that, of course, do not exist in Andy's version. And - last but not least - another one comes to mind that I also find absolutely irresistible on men: Le Sourire du Diable by L’Antichambre. Here too, we have fine balsamic base notes, a bit of amber sweetness, and smoke. What is Oud in the grinning devil is incense here.

The fragrance has a fine sillage that you want to chase after and also a very good longevity. Mr. Polly has not tested it yet. I hope he likes it, because this is finally one of those that I would love to stick my nose into his neck. Ah! I don't see Deep Deep in the Baltic on myself, but if he likes it, I would definitely buy it for him. Even if it's just for my personal pleasure. And to occasionally sniff it when he is not around.

A big thank you to Pluto for the testing opportunity.

Forest, Amber, and Baltic Wind
When I sometimes watch reports about other countries on television, I have also seen documentaries about the Baltics. About the land, the people, the cities, the landscapes, and much more. I already wished to go there to spend two weeks on vacation. To see Tallinn or Riga, to walk on the beach, to see if I can find small pieces of amber, to hike in the forests, simply to recharge. The scent fits perfectly for dreaming. The spicy-green depth, the slightly mystical-smoky, the woodsy, the portion of sea air that mixes with "northeastern" delicious scents. The coolness of frankincense, like a breeze over bright houses by the sea. The spicy-woody aroma of ancient forests, the masterful notes of "accidentally" found amber, which is then kept in a wooden box where the scents blend. The somewhat austere roughness of cistus, reminiscent of resins.
From dust-dry, like the beach just above the sea in midsummer, to cool and damp, like still intact meadows and marshlands. This fantastic scent has all that to offer. My wish list is happy to welcome another new addition. But since Deep Deep in the Baltic seems to be very rare, I can only hope...

I can smell myrrh; overall, it feels more like a green-coated pond than the sea. Moss and everything feels too dirty green for me.

On the polished wooden table lie spices, herbs, fine soap, resin, incense. When it smells like this deep in the Baltic Sea, I go diving.

Powdery green spice - a piece of wood gently floats in the lake
The creature has swallowed the incense
Skin-warm soft beige - gentle earthworm breeze

It wafts lightly smoky spice on deck
Then takes on a woody twist
Doused by sweet myrrh & resins
It sinks to the depths of the Baltic Sea

Unconventional, without being loud. Green, powdery-spicy, subtly incense-like, with a sweet resin base. The Baltic Sea doesn't come to mind.

Balsamic and spicy.
More like the old town of Reval or Riga than the Baltic Sea in a maritime sense.
Especially since the scent has endured for centuries.

Green-powdery, resinous, spicy, bright incense-like & yet not aggressive, but on the contrary, very harmoniously composed.

Bright incense blends with subtle resinous notes and a green powder. I also think I detect a slight animalic note.
