Olt man river
Taking its artistic vision from the river named Olt in Romanian, Alutus carries promises of a flow through different landscapes. I think it succeeds.
There is quite a bit of mentholatum ointment to begin with (yes, I am serious). But it morphs after 20 minutes and I would say it remains cool in a fresh, minty or camphorous kind of way and not quite aquatic. Perhaps it needed to be so for an inland river discharging into the Danube after some 600 km.
Alutus probably remains very eccentric to most noses. I get a lot of Patchouli and teak, but the development eventually takes a different direction than the usual woody dry down.
Eventually, a pseudo-barbershop impression plays out nicely, vaguely reminiscent of the “green line” from Italy’s Proraso house, yet Alutus remains charmingly idiosyncratic. I cannot say I get noticeable amounts of oud nor myrrh, yet there is a strange, lasting impression of eccentricity I cannot put my finger on. It is as if you add something really crazy to a bottle of Davidoff’s Cool Water so that it changes personality entirely. If you get the chance, try it.
