The feast
It has a unique accord that smells like getting uppercut with a mouthful of blood. As a fighter I vouch it's as accurate as it could be. The whole perfume smells like biting through a predatory animal's flesh and tasting its blood through the dirty animalic musk and smokiness of fur. The blood finally dries out and only tinge of metallics remain of it so that the animalic leather can show its full beauty. Beautiful leather made by castoreum animalics, styrax smokiness and defined by florals (spanish-esque). The texture of the leather is not a floral though (none of the usual iris, violet or saffron), the texture is an aroma-chemical (isobutyl quinoline) that is used in modern faux leather perfumes, but again for the use of three scent aspects of genuine leather it doesn't feel chemical at all. After another three hours the florals start to take over the spot light for yet another unique stage to finish this madness, I'm not the expert of the floral notes here to describe them more than the overall types and names so I'll leave it at that.

To whom do I recommend? Are you crazy, are you bored with everyday life, does your food taste like ash or the grass seem grey? Do you secretly enjoy a good wound? (Or better yet openly adore one) did you think there's no perfume for you, weirdo? Well here it is. You gotta love animalic leather and metallic blood.

I told you what it resembles in my mind, being the predator of a predatory animal! The bite, the feast and a nap in the garden afterwards. Who do I imagine wearing this? Someone crazy! In a dangerous intelligent way, a sophisticated brawler, two faced, inflicting pain and attending aftercare, a dominatrix/dom and an artist. In short: Marquis de Sade or Elizabeth Bathory.

The accord pyramid according to my nose is simple: blood on top, animalic leather in the middle and florals deep in the base. It starts loud transits into next level each two~three hours while the projection lowers to moderate and then an inch above skin for the floral final act.

Personal: I love it, there are many strange perfumes that are truly niche (appealing only to a small group of people) but this one is mine. It's not particularly well made, but the taste is what makes it unforgettable, it's the only blood available for a lifelong thirsty Dracula, of course it tastes delicious. My favorite from Unum, I don't wear it as much as "Io Non Ho Mani Che Mi Accarezzino il Volto", but I feel alive everytime I do. A big big big love.

Clarice, will the lambs be silent?
A horrible crime...
again...
and again they were too late.
Clarice Starling notified them...
Lecter has been at large for 3 years...
Since then, these crimes...
disgusting...
and they're always too late Clarice, where is she?

Even outside the door they can smell it,
the scent of fear.
The sweat that seeps from every pore,
the steam of the kidneys,
when a being loses all temper.
They rub rosemary under their noses,
and enter the room...
Elegantly,
nothing suggests foul play.
Adorned with white lilies,
Loads of them on the metal tables.
In front, a leather armchair,
on the table a drink in RED.
Bitter... _ ...Campari.
Lemon sorbet to kidneys,
next to it,
Liver... _ ... medium.
Blood oozes out,
Seasoned with lovage.
Metallic taste gathers in the mouths of the officers,
Bile rises up...
The offal is not from animals...
Hannibal loves offal...
Where is Clarice?

Hannibal stands at the window of the house opposite,
watching...
He is always faster,
and yet also too late...
Where is Clarice?
She would know,
that not he...
He would never take lovage to liver.
He's a gourmet.
No Maggi.
Rosemary goes with liver.
He smiles.
She would know...
At once...
Her intelligence excites him...
He desires her...
Should he Clarice?
Then the lambs would be silent...

ButNotToday

There is another crime to be solved today.

Then she stands before him...
her slightly vanilla scent...
petite, like a plastic doll.
Buffalo's "It rubs lotion on its skin"
comes to his mind.
He sucks her scent in sharply through his teeth,
struggling to contain himself.
He should have known,
that it was SHE...
Highly intelligent,
but Clarice could never cook...
Lovage to liver...
Maggi...
it shook him for a moment.
She had set a trap for him,
and he had fallen for it.
And then he sees it in her eyes...
His lambs will be silent from today...
Forever...

He takes her hand...
ushers her to the table...
Soft music sounds in the room...
One last drink...
before everything turns RED...
Sorcinelli's backstory on the scent is "The Silence of the Lambs" and it's perfectly executed. It's kinky depraved, perfect for Cannibal, Clarice and The Silence of the Lambs.
It's a smell, fitting to the story, whoever is thinking of wearing it, please make sure to test it in advance.

The animalic citrus notes portray for me the fear of death that the victim feels immediately
before her passing.
Cascarilla is used in Campari and corresponds to the color red here,
the drink.
The blood notes are created by the bitters , as well as added metallic notes,
one means this metallic Gschmack in the mouth to have, and there I in soas yes insanely
reinsteigern can, I mean to taste the almost, raw liver. Rosemary and lovage I smell clearly and a slightly coked, vanilla plastic note...Clarice, or Lecters Newly Discovered Favorite Food Brain....
The scent-smell is not arg loud, but it has it in itself, if you give yourself to it...
Then the lambs are silent.

Exotic Plant Poison
Yes, you may eat this fruit-
But only once.

Because what you smell here is pure poison.

Most seductively the fruity fleshy smell attracts like a voluminous triangle from
Lilias, clove flowers and jasmine.
Truly it is an encounter of the THIRD ART.
They immediately smelled a "Touch Forbidden" hint, there must be something wrong.

"Really cute!"...
...and just as poisonous-sour, I promise you.
(Really nice acidic oxidizing metal- pink pepper, are you there?)
It is not sourly green thereby.

At the latest now you may understand, you finally become aware that this is NO LILEN-BLÜTEN scent!

The reference scent Charogne could be known to you - that would be an expressive Lillienblüte, with aldehydes, chewing gum...typical Lillienblüte 1:1 even unsweetened, un camouflaged and nevertheless so much lovelier than the one we have here.

The forbidden fruit well fools you so, merely approach!
You will certainly like to do this the further the fragrance progresses, because once it gets too close, it exposes its wild flesh, almost spicy-leathery.

"But_not_today" is transmitted to your skin and you are no less fatal.
Although it's sweet, nothing is friendly here.
With this triad of blossoms as a self-confident man or woman ...you may only gain further self-confidence.
The scent has a contrary threatening and attracting effect on one person.
In general the scent is deceptive, it also deceives a certain innocent cleanliness in the whole process, depending on the angle of the scent, despite sweetness and animalism.
Respectfully overall.

(With regard to the aromatic components of jasmine and Lillie as well as Bibergeil, the rather alarming effect is self-explanatory.)
Recommendation on request or with reservation.

Per veri appassionati!
Un profumo che lascia il segno, unisex che può piacere o non piacere. Un inizio molto strong, complesso e difficile da portare dovute alle sue note di testa metalicche insieme a quelle animali; ma con l'evolversi del tempo il profumo diventa sempre più gradevole, un floreale cuoiato, speziato di un fascino indescrivibile!. Una fragranza da mettere in bacheca per chi ama il mondo della profumeria di nicchia!

Intriguingly metallic, musky and earthy. This is body- like in a way most animalics aren't, it's the blood and organs rather than the fur.

Initially intense and boozy metallic spicy-green, this challenging fragrance settles to a slightly smoky, gentle dusty earthy-leathery base.
