Jordi, strikes again!
Man, this is incredibly potent, I swear I don't take it off my skin even after showering, so over 14 hours of life, and also, besides the dizzying wake in the first few hours, it settles down as calmly as possible, docile and beautiful, but always present! It's a polarizing perfume for some, but for lovers of resinous and leathery with tar and industrial aspect/mechanic's oil, pitch, it's just heaven! In the opening it goes right into an area explored long before by the great Alberto Morillas through his Gucci Guilty Absolute/Black Incense Malaki/Voice of the Snake, etc.
So, we are dealing with the undoubted signature of the talented Jordi Fernandez, Givaudan. Leatherwood or what molecules they use to recreate the industrial leather aspect of engine oil, to which frankincense is added, with saffron and other resins.
The undoubted metallic aspect is given by the overdose of ambroxan with amberwoods and ambrofix and ambermax50, formulas patented by Givaudan. So, anyone who knows a little chemistry knows that the overdose of ambroxan and its derivatives in a formula results in the creation of a particular septic, metallic, extremely diffusive and ambrasive smell. Hence the eternal persistence of it and other bombastic creations in this style!
I like it, at first it was on the verge of not convincing me, but after wearing it countless times, the perfume really revealed some fascinating subtleties and facets to me!
We truly have an oriental creation, in the style of LV Ombre Nomade, only it is a little more chiseled in placement and evolution, naturally differing in the working style of the perfumer and the different molecules used.
In all LV creations, Cavallier is known to use patented Firmenich formulas, since he worked at Firmenich all his life and continues to procure his raw materials from there!
Anyone who is passionate about the formulas and molecules of the big perfume houses will realize through the subtleties and structure that the perfumes made by IFF will always differ from those made by Givaudan, as well as those made by Firmenich and vice versa.
In any case, I conclude by saying, it is a brilliant creation!
