Unrestrained Craftsmanship
Euphorium Brooklyn is all about bold statements. At least that’s the common denominator of my previous tests. So, I am not surprised when Usar immediately bites me with a strong spiciness. This can indeed be interpreted in the direction of Maggi, as pointedly formulated by Yatagan. However, for me, there is definitely a medical aspect that reminds me more of a throat spray.
After just a few seconds, it becomes sweeter and resinous. I find it smells like myrrh. Not only that, but also. In terms of myrrh, I specifically consider this or that from the appearance of Armani's Myrrhe Imperiale. However, Usar feels more primal (which is no wonder next to an Armani…), more herbal, more medicinal, or even shamanic. And with a greater variety of aromas. A direct comparison unmistakably reveals the more unrestrained craftsmanship of the American. The Armani thus shifts from the presumed relative to a reference work for a single aroma.
Only on the second test day am I able to perceive the fruity additions in the opulent surge - but then in such astonishing clarity that I wonder where my nose was before. The fruity notes are not dominant, just very present, less aimed at the (citrus) peak than rather in the fruit breadth. Lime and ginger might be acceptable, I would have called it candied orange. Very delicious in this combination and far less Christmas-like than one might expect.
After about an hour, I primarily smell smoke. Aside from the partial Armani twist, aspects from Arso by Profumum Roma come to mind - I can’t verify this anymore, the sample is gone. Of course, it also applies here: Not only that, but also. Next to it lies a light metallic component, which could stem from a prickly essential oil from the pine corner.
The manufacturer also speaks of vetiver, which my favorite colleague flawlessly sniffed out blind. I only manage to do this on day two; and although I am not as sure about it as with the fruity story, I can attest to a certain variety in the fragrance.
Smoky-resinous and additionally sweet, it goes through the morning. A fir-like quality in the second hour makes me think of fir honey in conjunction with the mentioned metallic idea and said sweetness. Over time, however, the sweetness fades. Because a stricter resin becomes noticeable around noon, the fragrance overall becomes more austere. At the same time, unfortunately, a good part of the volume disappears, and the overall picture becomes more transparent. As it progresses, the matter further aerates, the sweetness has faded except for a trace of sugariness. It now rests on a bright, straightforward wood note and gradually drifts towards the evening.
I thank Ergoproxy for the sample.
