Kinda like the kitchen utensil that you always forget...
... because it's placed in the back of your drawer - but every time you use it, you praise it's skills.
Slow Explosions opens with a very dry saffron, very different from others I've tried, bordering on dusty and almost medicinal, band-aid like and oudish. The saffron is then joined by a strong leather note as well as spices and later the rose joins in, slightly muted by the benzoin and without making it overly floral or feminine. The drydown is a musky benzoin and cashmeran affair, but I personally do not detect any apple notes as listed - funny thing is, my girlfriend says I smell like fermented apple when I wear, so it must be there. If i stretch my imagination, I can see how the saffron/leather opening depicts the smell of newly lit fireworks in an almost incense-like way and the spices give off an image of a bazaar or spice market. Projection for the first few hours is quite strong and after this it dries down quite quickly, while the projection settles in a state of closeness to your skin.
Overall, it is surely unusual, creative, unique and niche-like - if you are into stronger smoke-inspired scents, this one could be for you.
