The big, wide world
I come from far across the ocean, unfortunately it wasn't very nice there...
It's possible that John Biebel, who created this fine droplet, lives in a wonderful, inspiring, beautiful place in America, yes.
When I ordered Smolderose, I was constantly informed of where the package was on its journey to me. I googled the respective places and have to say that my image of America has expanded a little, let's say, in contrast to exciting places like New York, Alaska, California, San Francisco, which the common German knows from various films, I saw such desolate places here day after day that I was immediately relieved to live in the Swabian province... (Well, temporarily at least...)
So after 10 days, the parcel with its valuable contents arrived, garnished with a nice, handwritten letter from J.B. Normally, this sort of thing leaves me cold. Here I was delighted.
**
And is a rose now a rose, a rose...even in America? Yes and no. John Biebel , the artist, gives the flower a frame that should make it pleasant, or at least smellable, even for rose mimosas.
The fragrance begins with an impression of velvety suede, smooth, noble, never penetrating. And while we sink into the tasteful leather designer armchairs, the man of the house offers us the next surprise. Is that champagne? The tart, slightly alcoholic, somewhat fruity aroma certainly suggests it is. Slowly, however, a 'rosy' aroma begins to emerge. I mean, there's a small bouquet of roses on the table, accompanied by the scent of the sweet balsamic vinegar next to it.
There's about to be a dish with mussels, I can even smell it from a distance! Yes, yes, while some people discover the melancholy of an artist's soul in the scent, the violet discovers down-to-earth comforts such as comfortable leather armchairs, champagne, spaghetti vongole, balsamic vinegar and rose petals.
I am happy to be a guest in this fragrance, because it is incredibly elegant, miles away from any sweet kitsch, absolutely unique and....naja... somehow delicious...
The menu also lasts 6 hours at the beginning.
And I notice: I love the fine perfume.
Nevertheless, Smolderose is somehow not a fragrance for me.
It's too restrained and tends to be too masculine, not to mention too appetizing and therefore difficult for me outside the shellfish season.
However, if you would like to celebrate a little artistic melancholy at a social get-together with food and drink and want to radiate both the finest elegance and down-to-earth friendliness, Smolderose is recommended.
Take this one-off out of the American province and show him the big, wide world.

Fresh roses
I am on a beach, I have a rose in one hand and in another a shell attached to my ear from which I perceive a sweet sound of the sea... this is one of my favorite roses, fresh, citrusy, smoky. A perfume you never stop smelling. Not the usual rose and Oud that we hear everywhere now. This fragrance is so well made that it is difficult to find another that comes close. I love January’s scents. John always managed to amaze me. Anyone who hasn’t tried at least one of his perfumes absolutely must do so.

January Scent Project / Smolderose
This is an artistic work for me.
The opening is a strong citrus-green hit, which quickly evolves towards the scent of Damascus rose in an edition I have not known yet. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the scent of roses in perfumes with very few exceptions. This is i.a. this exception. It is a strange mixture of balsamic strange rose combined with a burnt, smoky and still smoking rose from the heat. To make it more interesting, I smell a strange salty flower here - is it a salted rose after burning, or maybe it's not a salty rose? Strangely familiar smell ... warm, salty and as I wrote before - burnt. These are roasted and hot shells ... in India called Choya Nakh. And what is this creation? Well let's go....
Choya Nakh is a traditional distillation of roasted shells produced in India. The wild shells are roasted slowly in a large earthenware vessel called choya, producing a light brown oil with an intense aromatic essence. The strong and sharp aroma of Choya Nakh absolute is smoky, oceanic and mossy with notes of mineral and amber. Choya Nakh gives perfumes and fragrances an interesting depth. Includes unique notes of smoke, sea and ozone. Ok ... that's it for that Choya.
To make it even more interesting, I can sense this scent with slightly leather notes and a slightly dirty smell ... no !!!! This is a specific smell at a gas station - the smell of fuel, including burnt gas particles from the exhaust. In the center of this fragrance we still have a 'strange rose with 2 faces' and it is the epicenter of this fragrance. Now tell for yourself - is this not a unique piece of work ??? For me, John Biebel's masterpiece. Oh .... the smell is completely wearable.

Projection and durability at a very good level.

Top notes are Olibanum and Bergamot; middle notes are damask rose, lilac black and saffron; base notes are Sea shells, Smoke, Labdanum, Agar (oud) and patchouli.

To me heavier on elderflower than rose, this is a handful of flowers that have been tossed into a pool when the tarp just came off.

I got to test my fullsize. Now I can say: remarkable! Sweetish rose, smoky at times "warm". Unisex!
