As a mushroom nerd I wanted to test a fragrance for a long time, which smells among other things also after mushrooms. This mysterious, partly still quite unexplored species, (mushrooms are incidentally assigned more to the animal kingdom, than the plant kingdom) fascinates me. I know a few varieties and have been an enthusiastic collector since childhood. (With the prospect of a few porcini mushrooms, I suddenly climb 85-percent slopes without any problems...) While working as a goldsmith, I molded some specimens and cast them in silver, which looked incredibly beautiful because of the lamellar pattern. Anyway, the smell "mushroom" does not exist like that. There are some that smell like flour. Others smell like anise. Some smell flowery, others stink of carrion.
Of course, there are also those "Berauscher", which can move the mind into other spheres, change the perception, trigger hallucinations. Such "journeys" interest me only theoretically.
However, what I often wished as a child, certainly inspired by the "infinite story" and the Czech series " Arabella, the fairy tale bride", just like the main characters to discover a door into a fairy tale land. To experience great adventures there and, of course, to return home with a magical ring, a magic flower or something similarly useful and to cause a sensation. Well, what can I say? This morning this bottle suddenly appeared on my doorstep. And according to the ingredients it seems to be a real witch's brew. On the bottle it says "Forbidden". And since such bottles are always opened in fairy tales, I will now do the same.
Attention...On and spray !
Ah, there she comes already, this half-silent stunner tuberose. (Would this fragrance note a person I would not buy a used car from her ! ) If she is present in the perfume, she does not let her appearance. Here, however, she enters the stage quite gently and enchantingly. Light, like delicate flowing dark pink silk. Bedded on woods and the scent of sun-warmed, loamy earth, which you can also perceive directly.
Wrapped, in light, dark leather she appears - or should I say snakeskin? She smiles dark-honey-sweet and holds a small glass of absinthe in her hand, with clearly perceptible greenish-bitter aroma, which however ,spirits-typically, soon evaporates somewhat. The little glass of rum she has already drunk and gives himself altogether accordingly beschickert.
The whole fragrance has a very warm, relaxing character. Sit back, let go and enjoy, blows me here as a message in the nose. The tuberose is shown here from a very quiet, earthy side. The otherwise sometimes almost shrill sedate flower was here itself ingratiating anesthetized, without losing its character.
Is there now finally a mushroom to find here ? Well, I'm not sure. If so, I'd say the hint of a chanterelle whistles a delicate spice to it here. Also a touch, (but really no more !) of spices I seem to perceive, like cinnamon and nutmeg. It is impossible for me, this warm-woody-earthy-spicy miscellany that underpins the fragrance, really to break down into its components. There's wood and animal and earth and spice...
A fragrance of cozy warmth, but at the same time a mysterious abysmalness, which is due to the tuberose and the leather, the animalic, and quite, quite certainly also the mushrooms that keep themselves somewhat covered here ;-) Towards the base, it now also changes again in a decidedly attractive direction. A spicy-zart-herb, dark honey-harzig-warm woodiness develops towards finally wam-soft-earthy-gentle and the inevitable amber-sweet at the very end.
I suspect yes with expert womanly nose, that it could be the contents of this forbidden bottle here, once again a kind of love spell, which is snowed me there in the house. More detailed must be discussed here, however, only yet.
This fragrance invites in any case to spend a cool autumn evening relaxed by the crackling fireplace, with a nice glass of wine to. He is also well suited to go out to eat, as he does not have a particularly strong sillage. The does not interfere with the taste.
In general, he fits, however gearteter, relaxed, pleasant togetherness at the very best, as I find. He smells interesting, but nowhere near as weird as one might suspect
i found him immediately pretty great and am glad that I could get him much cheaper than the original price. Because as wonderful as many fragrances of this brand are, they are unfortunately also cost-intensive. In any case, I say Bescho here again thank you for the
HoM hiking package, without which I would not have been able to get to know the fine fragrances of this brand so quickly !!
Some of the HoM perfumes have door-in fairyland potential.
Just like Forbidden, for which I hereby broke a lance.
