A new look (without reformulation)
Confusing headline? I know. What I mean by that is that I don't know the original, first version that is so highly praised here. My impression is only of the reformulated version that I've tested and worn in bottling. And to preface that: I like the scent. Very much. I guess I can't miss anything I didn't know.
So where do I start with Shaal Nur? I notice smoky bergamot at the beginning. Almost green, dark green to be exact. Pleasant, sexy, confident but not overbearing. The citrusy impression quickly fades on my skin, leaving only a freshness that lingers throughout the fragrance as well.
Musk and orange blossom take over, rose? What rose?
But pepper is there, a slight spiciness, depth in the fragrance. Slowly it changes from sexy, sassy citrus smoke to a heavy scent, the evening gets later, less light, wine, maybe some candlelight and summer heat. Oh yes, I can see Shaal Nur in warm weather. A balmy night, no sweat, but in breezy clothes and dark. In the end, patch, vetiver and rough, smoky, deep incense remain. It takes on almost sweet, creamy overtones, but always a little edgy and different.
This is Shaal Nur for me. Reformulation or not, it's a great scent. Maybe different, maybe new, but definitely great. Sensual and deep, without becoming cheap or cloying. Smoky, without fire, rather a gentle, permanently burning embers.
