Glossy black
I am not a great reviewer but since this perfume is probably very difficult to encounter in Europe I will give it a shot, especially because I feel like this has such a good idea at its core.
A simple idea.
A dark and creamy coffee, no sugar and no cream, just the bitter warmth.
A cool violet in the shade, fresh and flirty, playing on the fine line between powdery and watery.
Black soil, the undergrowth of a forest, mushroomy dankness.
Glossy black with pale lilac speckles, a texture that feels slippery but warm and balsamic.
One might visualise a cup of dark coffee in a fancy Austrian pastry shop with candied violet petals but this is not what I get at all. There's no candy, there's no fine china: just dark moods looming in the shade below the dirt.
I am not sure where or when this would feel appropriate, but I don't care that much.
Now to the sad part: I cannot get the alcohol EDP since that is not shipping to Europe, all we can get is the IPM (isopropyl myristate) version. Which is horrible.
I cannot properly judge the performance, maybe the proper EDP is stellar, but what I got sits very close to the skin and lasts a couple of hours on a very good day.
So all in all, I think this is a good idea but I would like to find a better execution.
