Tipical niche smell

First of all i must say that i am not objectf at all reviewing this fragance because for me It has a smell that i dont know why i dont like. So even when i can feel some quality here and i find a great performance i would never wear It because this is a kind of fragance that i never know when to wear. This is not elegant so i cant imaginé wearing It on elegant eventos, but It is not soecially nice so i dont find It a sexy fragance to wear for night out for example. Too intense for a daily use too. I think It follows most of niche brands which always have a similar scent to this. So i can understand that this probably is more like a kind of art designing perfumes than really a fragance thought to be wore.

The smell is very leathery, smoky and intense. It is unisex so It could be wore for a woman too although i find It a bit more masculine.

Involuntarily successful?

The Eutopie fragrances are supposed to reflect stages of a long journey. The design and accompanying music of No. 6 (I am not familiar with the others) suggest that the aim is not the banal depiction of local scent color, but rather something deeper.

This particular fragrance is meant to oscillate between the glamorous modern life and the "traditional spirit" in Russia. Well, is "traditional spirit" meant to refer to something like "folk soul"? That would create an insurmountable gap, as I do not believe that the existence of the Russian elite 3.0 has any reference point to the folk soul from which it could oscillate. Where is such a connection even found - except in a "people" like that of Monaco?

My frowning has, alongside these general considerations, a personal reason. Perhaps during a trip to Russia as a teenager, I caught a glimpse of the folk soul: a trace of exuberance in the warmth, paired with perhaps even that proverbial, quiet melancholy, which - I think - is by no means just an excuse for drinking.

What struck me most at the time was an undeniably subjective, diffuse feeling that the Russians during my few days of hosting had come emotionally closer to me than my Australian host family did in two months of student exchange a few years earlier. And this despite enormous communication difficulties. The two spoke no German, no English; I only knew a handful of Russian words and could read the Cyrillic script. We communicated using a pocket dictionary, looking up words one by one.

There is absolutely nothing connecting these people with what today comes to my mind as a kind of "It-life" in urban luxury enclaves. In Otto Dix's triptych 'Metropolis', the courtesan at least throws a contemptuous glance at the injured beggar. I suspect that today's haute bourgeoisie in Russia does not even do that.

Thus, I have the feeling with 'No. 6' that it is supposed to "oscillate" between only seemingly connected elements. That would be a marketing misstep that would force a heterogeneous fragrance - and suddenly my discomfort is much clearer than I could have imagined at the beginning of my approach via advertising (which was originally meant to be just an "introduction"). To put it pointedly and simply: What do you actually want and where are you going?

At first, I smell a hint of blood-red, subtly flamboyant rose on creamy-sweet smoke. Soon, burnt wood joins in with a thin layer of fruit and sugar. A creamy note in the late morning remains a suggestion and is continuously pierced through. Not only by the charred; around noon, a garden-like note develops as well. Rose geranium? What all could be behind the announcement of "geranium"? From the botanical name, cranesbill could also be a possibility, and it is undoubtedly good for such a note. The next riddle presents a spicy note. Could that be Sichuan pepper? I have now read that its genus name translates to "yellow wood" in German.

In the afternoon, I try to hold on to the fact that Eutopie No. 6 somehow reminds me of (the better!) Magnetic Blend 8 by Initio in its sweet-balsamic-creamy-smoky appearance, but that also slips away from me, not least due to the constantly recurring hints of artificial fruit sweetness, like a corresponding syrup. In any case, it has nothing to do with rose anymore.

The cream dares to make a second attempt at a hostile takeover. However, that does not succeed - the charred note holds its ground and also brings in an unused wood as support. Moreover, the aforementioned note always helps anew, which I ultimately cannot really trace. It is downright unpleasant on the skin and thus, in my opinion, overshoots an otherwise quite desirable contrast.

Here, things are connected that I cannot reconcile for myself. And I cannot imagine for the life of me that my somewhat queasy feeling is exactly what the fragrance intends - that would be involuntarily successful. What speaks against that is the fact that Eutopie No. 6 is simply nice to smell from a distance. And for that, I, as a Western recipient of news about Russia, lack any allegorical reference point.

I thank Ergoproxy for the sample.

Come on, go wash that off....

Yesterday I received some lovely sample mail, no one here should complain about a lack of samples. No. 6 was "warmly" recommended to me for testing, so I took it out of the cookie jar to bring to the office this morning. Of course, I couldn't resist and took a spritz in the evening as well. Wow, no, not again something like Myrrhae, only the opening of this fragrance was nicer. My better half was just closing the window in the bedroom when I came in with No. 6 on my arm. The reaction was intense: "What have you put on again, come on, go wash that off, I'm not airing this room for nothing!" The scent is certainly not beneficial for our love life.

No. 6 smells like burnt plastic, not close to the skin, no, the sillage carries for meters. I didn't wash the fragrance off; I don't obey orders blindly. Because I want to know how No. 6 develops. Besides, my partner was already blissfully asleep when I returned to the bedroom. A few hours later, I woke up feeling thirsty; No. 6 lingers and lingers, I feel like I'm in a 3-Wetter-Taft commercial. Now it doesn't smell as intense anymore, but unchanged like burnt rubber, with incense added, underlaid with a slight dung note. After 8 hours and a shower, I still perceived it faintly, warm and pleasant. Should I always wait 8 hours, shower, and then take it out? These are my first impressions; I will test it again later, but first, I will read the fragrance pyramid, which now interests me greatly, and report back.

In the office, I applied a spritz to my inner elbow; my feelings are the same as described above. For the next few hours, no colleague wanders over to me, which is probably for the best; maybe they can smell me all the way to the hallway? However, I notice that No. 6 is already more pleasant from a distance; perhaps one should spray it on the backs of the knees. After reading the fragrance pyramid and Maris' great comment, I am perplexed. The fragrance sounds so wonderful; that's why it was on my watchlist. I can hardly believe we are talking about the same scent. After a few hours, I actually perceive something like flowers, lightly sweetened and spicy; the myrrh I suspected isn't even in there. The burnt rubber note has almost disappeared and only smolders in the background; it smells like burnt wood, like a campfire. I can only faintly sense leather. As I found this scent pleasant and even relaxing after a few hours this morning, it still doesn't redeem the first hours. I feel a bit uncertain with such fragrances; what's wrong with me? Is it my skin, my nose, or simply my taste in scents?

Conclusion: More for guys, wearable in cool temperatures, sillage and longevity are fantastic; others could learn a thing or two from this, just spray once and wait 3 - 4 hours after applying before leaving the house. I will keep this sample and test it again in some time. And of course, I will report back if my impression changes.

Thank you dear Ergoproxy, too bad you couldn't see my face; you would have had a piggy joy :o)

The Sound of the Bell

In the epic film "Andrei Rublev" by Andrei Tarkovsky, which vividly portrays the identity crisis of a famous Russian icon painter, a bell plays the most significant role towards the end. The young, almost childlike bell maker achieves the improbable, and the casting is successful. The bell is struck from its still smoking mold. The boy collapses in tears, and following this experience, Rublev finds his creative power again. After three hours in black and white, the film suddenly turns to color, and the camera guides our gaze over Rublev's icon wall.
So the core of the whole story and Tarkovsky's shift towards the actually existing reality is ultimately the successful work despite all adversities and doubts.
Because this fragrance reminds me of the resonant, almost booming sound of a large bell, my associations led me back to this film, which indeed ends with a promise of happiness, an artistic place that could certainly be described as a utopia.
But Utopia No. 6 is an ambivalent fragrance, as the heavy bloom, the rose or rose-like scent that stands at its center, vibrates but remains in its place, is for my nose of a certain lush sensuality - heavy-bloomed takes on a whole new meaning here...
This weighty rose note has considerable impact, and I recommend using the perfume sparingly. However, when applied carefully, it unfolds an almost brutal beauty. On one hand, my (male) inner eye doesn't mind imagining how the scent rises from a well-defined (female) décolletage into my nose. On the other hand, the combination with the incense notes creates a serious solemnity that also allows for more subtle emotions not to be overlooked. Sensuality and solemnity, then. I have previously referred to it as incense with a hall effect, but now I must say that the rose never separates from the incense or the resinous notes, and thus a completely new, previously unexperienced scent entity is actually created. I perceive the fragrance not only as somehow "resonant" (yes, call me an idiot, that's fine...) but also as very velvety. When it fades, it simply fades away, becoming a bit more velvety, but it is the one tone, once struck, that slowly reverberates...
slowly reverberates...
slowly reverberates...

PS: Many thanks to Johannes for the generous sample!

Incense Rose

For the first time, I heard about the perfume label Eutopie at this year's GaoP in Düsseldorf. The term Eutopie describes an ideal society that has realized all positive political dreams of humanity. The opposite of this is the often literary and cinematic dystopia.

Thus, the brand name is charged with positive values, with the red No. 6, according to its advertising, promising a journey through the Slavic soul - whatever that may mean.
The color is certainly excellently chosen, as what wafts opulently around one's nose is a very warm and valuable incense note. One could easily guess it to be a Nasamatto fragrance, as it appears so noble, deep, dark, and enveloping.
However, after a short time, the geranium increasingly asserts itself, where I can't detect any direct olfactory difference to a rose. For my taste, it's too sweet and unfortunately a bit too much of a good thing, as the other listed ingredients, as promising as they sound, can hardly assert themselves.

Only later - though not as late as one might believe according to the reviews - does No. 6 become duller and softer, with a minimal trace of patchouli and musk becoming recognizable.

But do these sugary roses fit a trip into the depths of the Slavic soul? Perhaps some pickled sour vegetable notes would have been more authentic or made No. 6 more interesting. Just a thought...
Additionally, I found the longevity to be okay for a few hours, but quite limited.

Anyone who enjoys the combination of warm incense and sweet rose is welcome to take on this fragrance. It is well made - but overall, it is personally a bit too kitschy for me... and thus far from ideal.

Good quality, good performance but a too tipical niche scent with this smoky and sweet leather/incense combo. For me too difficult to wear.

The trinity of frankincense, geranium, and resinous leather still works well for me even after years.

I only respond to your sweet smile internally
Captivated by the monologue of silence
A sparkling rollercoaster of emotions
At the carousel of sadness

An ordinary representative of its kind. Lacks sophistication / finesse. Leather, smoke, wood not particularly successful. In my opinion, boring. Occasionally sharp.
