Manasse - Devachan Duftwerk

Devachan is composed of Sanskrit (Deva -> light being, god) and Tibetan (Chan -> having, living, place, place). So it can be translated with "place of the gods" and "the place where the essence of the thing dwells" We find the term Devachan in both theosophy and anthrosophy. In both teachings the definitions are slightly different, but can be summarized as a place above the astral worlds.
What does that have to do with the scent now? Everything and nothing Devachan does have a slightly mystical touch, if you want to get involved. In any case, it's a fragrance that touches you, envelops you and grounds you.
After spraying on, a hint of cocoa flashes through very briefly, but is immediately overlaid by the rose. Who knows me knows about my aversion to roses in fragrances. But Uwe Manasse manages to underlay the rose with a slightly green-grassy base and to wrap it in a light incense, so that even I like the rose here. (And that alone is already an art ;-) )
The individual notes here are perfectly balanced and equilibrated, supporting each other without becoming dominant.
The incense here does not become too smoky and the rose not too pompous, instead an almost spherical scent is created, which would put us above the astral worlds ;-)
Devachan is a fragrance that should fit to many occasions, because it is light and bright and -for me- has something very attractive.
The combination of rose, sweet grass and frankincense in this form is truly unusual, but really very well implemented.
I find the Sillage pleasant and not too strong. The shelf life is now 7 hours and the scent is still clearly perceptible For me another test recommendation from the fragrance.
