Burning Metal
This fragrance is not one of my favorites at all! The ink and mango leaf along with metallic notes overtake the other notes leaving this mess of industrial scent on my skin. After allowing the drydown to do its magic it then turns into…pickle juice, a very bitter and acidic pickle juice without any touch of saltiness. Not one of my favorites at all, but a very…interesting fragrance. One of a kind for sure.

An extremely peculiar mix of floral-spicy, green, and resinous notes that feels too overpowering and too sharply sweet for me.

A journey on the jasmine ship
in softly indolic worlds.
Cypress forests in the cosmos
with scrap metal in between.
Fossil-resin fuel.

More classic than expected. Cypress and moderate jasmine are quite noticeable. The metal doesn't want to reveal itself to me. It becomes moderately sweet-resinous.

Green-spicy with an interesting mango leaf accent. A jungle backdrop beyond the well-trodden paths. Herb-piquant.
Base with plenty of vetiver.

The cypress-green kaleidoscope
is sharply
ethereally smoky swirled,
gently illuminated by jasmine
and warmed with woody-spicy notes.

Wow..!! This one is quite a harsh character..!! I can almost feel the razor-sharp blade that chopped the ingredients.

Exotic-spicy scent with a woody base note. Floral accents weave the common thread. Ultimately stays rather conventional and bores me.

Floral notes, partly green, opulent and heavy with a tendency towards extreme intensity.
Free according to Adorno: nothing right can come from the wrong.

An old wooden chest with a leather-covered lid and rusty iron fittings. Inside, dried, bitter-smelling herbs and spices.
