Shimmering inferno

It glows, shimmers in the deepest dark red, sweeping all thoughts away. Close to the horizon, the red glow expands and creeps ever closer. A shimmering inferno a la Labdanum Symphony. Mozart's Requiem plays softly in the background. You could sink your head and soul into this fragrance.

No hellish aspects. No, rather it is a hot, smoky scroll, peppered with a dense sweetness. Resinous contrasts spread out here with an immense sweet force and drill deep into the skin. A shallow, spicy scent at the edge, a tonka bean at the heart that packs a punch. Cognac and honey lubricate the engine of the red sky like oil. The dark clouds that arise bring with them some smoke and spice. The fragrance is incredibly dense and made for lovers of resinous scents. Labdanum Symphonie is not disturbed by anything or anyone. It has the peace and quiet. It wants to embrace everyone with its first wild, but thoroughly passionate nature. Resinous sweetness meets sweetness. Paired with smoky and spicy aspects. There's no straining here, no hustling. The fragrance is as it was from the beginning, only it gets warmer and warmer. There are no unpleasant surprises here.

And so the inferno, like the setting sun, rolls along the wide horizon, has an immensely long breath and is extremely close to the skin.

Many thanks to dear @Kokusai, who has not only given me a generous gift, but also enriched my experience.

A hit, right in the bull's eye!

Magic of the moment

Labdanum Symphony - a great love at first sight for me. It started with a small fragrance sample (before that I knew nothing about my passion for labdanum), which I sprayed on and was immediately captivated by the sweet darkness of this scent. I had to keep inhaling it deeply, almost inhaling it, because I found it so incredibly intriguing. My felt fragrance impression I would like to clarify more vividly with text passages of this song by ASP, which reflects the driving, bittersweet melancholy in my perception very well:

From the depths came up
A melody's course
A song such as I never heard before
The music a gentle tug
And I wanted to kneel down

In the deep, in the deep they sang

Listening I stood at the precipice
And it drew me to the brink
Knew not what gave her great power
This song that commanded me
And it left me no choice

In the deep, in the deep they sang

And now I'm almost there
I'm overcome with exhilaration
A strong, never-before-seen euphoria
Oh, melody, I'm almost there
Your origin already very close

In the deep, in the deep they sing

He who heard her sing
He knows how
Longing sounds
And I'll never forget this melody
I don't know what's happening to me Tell me where you're taking me
Into the deep, into the deep they sing

Now away from the of feeling and towards the: What is it like now, the fragrance?

First of all, it is STRONG, and that from the first moment. You spray it on, and it catches you with strong resinous arms and wrestles you to the ground with sweet vanilla and tonka waves. You have to like this, and you can't help but "surrender", so to speak. Thus captured and held by honeyed magic, in your now amber shackles you experience the scent showing you its dark, animalic side in the form of ambergris and cannabis after about 10 minutes - but just enough of it that you still find this "dark wickedness" intriguing and appealing. And then you stay caught in this wonderful dark amber depth - because this fragrance takes you completely in possession, and for many hours (at least 10) and he is always very present at your side (my environment perceives him as extremely pleasant fragrance - say, you fall on it)

For me, one of the fragrances that I would like to give a 10 in all respects - he has me totally enchanted. With him, I always like to dive into a dark, warm bittersweet world, which fascinates but also tingling shivers of fear triggers.

Score for amber, boat and depth sounder

Bass clef. A lake of balsamic amber, deeper than the Toplitz and more arcane too. Perhaps like a fjord. In slow motion the waves of tart honey move, driftwood in them, dry as tobacco, the old dark one, as only whales can. Lento.
Boat. Transparent and submersible. I can see dirt swimming through the wall under the dark brown balsam, it shimmers sweet and herbaceous. Cannabis leaves might get there. They glow green with the copal grains, throwing back the waves of the echo sounder in higher lighter clouds while the other tones resonate lower.
Dive. Warm flickering of smoking myrrh in medicinal brown glowing layers of benzoin. Some earth flows by. Echo sounder deceives tonka rattles and undulating vanilliola patches. With the red roasting beads of swirling frankincense, the colors melt into wistful euphony. Friction. Tom Waits sings Jesus Blood at the bottom of the lake. It's dark there. Warm. Wonderful. For many many more hours.
