Indolic scent with depth
Anyone who knows "old fragrances" knows what I mean.
In the past, long before 2010, the "year of the IFRA guidelines for reformulating fragrances," perfumes were produced that contained fragrance materials like "Indocholin" (dark violet), "rectified birch tar" (boiled sap from birch, "leather" aroma), "Nitromoschus" (smoky dark musk aroma), and many others that are now "TABOO." Or can only be used in minimal amounts.
And "Durer" is one such "good old fragrance spirit" where the "old materials" still frolic.
This results in such perfumes smelling "deep," "round," and particularly "full."
A wonderful blend of aldehydes, green galbanum, and flowers sets the stage, only to be followed by aromatic dark roses, iris, and blue hyacinth, all of which smell as if a large bouquet is right in front of me on the table.
And everything is underpinned by almost smoky balsamic wood notes and deeply "inky" mosses.
This fragrance composition has only a slight sweetness.
Above all, it is somewhat "crunchy" (which is particularly attractive) and almost bitter.
Just "INDOLIC" and "Nitromoschus"-like..... I can't describe it any other way.

A great comment that really makes me want to try this fragrance. Nitromusk oxen aside :)

A lovely comment about this extraordinary fragrance! I'm also lucky to own a bottle of the Extrait.
