Away with you, you deluded fool!
To give a fragrance the name "Charlatan" is as positive for me as the baptism of a fragrance called "Égoïste". For me, the bottle is one of the most beautiful of the series, and yet this fragrance neither dazzles nor captivates me:
I'll start right away with the string result pear. Jasmine builds up in front of me like the plumage of a peacock. Directly on the skin hard on the border to the Indolian, in the projection already above it and therefore smells like a wet peacock. I must confess, Jasmine is one of my archenemies in the world of fragrances. And even in doses that are bearable for others, Jasmine is for me, as a rule, too much!
The rose, which I loved in the last fragrance of this series, doesn't stand a chance here at first, but later it continues to suffer from the dominance of jasmine. And not only the rose suffers, I do too. Because the combination of the bitter-chocolate vibes, which can be perceived very well for a while at a specific distance, together with the fading impression of jasmine form a connection that smells like freshly sprayed Ajax glass cleaner. A chord that can only be smelled just above the skin and makes me curse this charlatan already for the second time.
This middle is tough, unspectacular, the base takes hours to reach. I think it's great that this scent is still scratching the surface, but I already know what I'll be given at the end. This is the final chord of Gypsy Water (EdP). But here, the typical Byredo black amber chord with incense is omitted and is replaced by an almost smoked vanilla. The finish is conciliatory, but at this stage we have long since spoken of a purely skin-tight pleasure.
So I prefer to use the much more linear template without having to go through my personal scent hell Jasmine and whose scent molecules can still be refreshed with warm breathing air even after 8 hours and thus be perceived in the Gypsy Water Amber foundation. A tough guy!
However, it could prove to be an alternative for those who find Black Orchid too synthetic or too opulent.
Something that I had long wanted to make a statement about prices while working on this series, but always forgot. The prices on the manufacturer's website are given in Australian dollars. Converted you are in the 150€ class when buying these fragrances. The "Oud horse" is a little more expensive
