Lessons in Ambergris

Laboratorio Olfattivo DAIMIRIS opens very boozily, so the rum note is no joke. From there, I am reminded of Balmain AMBRE GRIS because that edgy ambergris accord (I believe it is the synthetic component which is used to mimic the salty quality of natural ambergris...) is very much on display. Not labdanum amber, no. The texture (not the scent...) is closer to a titanium metal mesh than to a viscous golden gleam.

In neither AMBRE GRIS nor DAIMIRIS is the rich, thick, quality of labdanum-vanillin-benzoin amber perceptible. This may be a source of disappointment to some, if they were looking for amber as opposed to ambergris (same story for AMBRE GRIS, which many reviewers have criticized for lacking amber, apparently unaware that synthetic ambergris does not smell like labdanum amber at all...). But it is what it is, and it's not what it's not.

Anyway, the most distinctive part of DAIMIRIS to my nose is definitely the saffron note, which crescendos as the perfume develops and abides in the drydown. This is a unique perfume well-worth testing by anyone who likes saffron. I like the rum opening, too, despite the fact that I do not like rum. I think that the booziness is not specifically rum-like, perhaps because it is moderated somewhat by the "daim" candy note? Don't know. I only know that this perfume smells good at every stage and is absolutely unisex.

Solid violet

The opening of Daimiris is centered on a really unpretentious yet compelling buttery-rooty iris note, camphorous and dusty, quite on the “earthy” side, with a hint of bergamot, a subtle ambery-sugary breeze and perhaps a light, lively floral note or accord which provides a bit of brightness, well contrasting a really light but perceivable leathery-boozy undertone. Austere and rooty, rich but gentle and discreet, Daimiris evolves then on a violet-amber scent on light suede, with a pleasant velvety feel all over. Basically something like Dzonghka, just more simple and lively, less complex - and less charming. And once violet, amber and leather start to dominate the sillage, you may also think of Jil Sander Man for a while. Not the most original scent around, but well made, solid and refined, and pleasantly understated without smelling dull. Another good one from Laboratorio Olfattivo, albeit not among their best ones.

The first time ever I saw your face.......

I have been here at Parfumo for a good year now and can claim that I have learned a lot about fragrances and scent notes. Along the way, I have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people. Some "only" through private messages and the bulletin board, while others even in person. Yes, even great and deep friendships have developed.

I therefore assert that Parfumo has extremely influenced and changed my perspective on and approach to fragrances. "In the past," I was quickly enthusiastic about (new) fragrances, less critical and attentive, which led to numerous blind purchases.

As a result of my still ongoing "Parfumo education," I have now become much more critical and selective. Where a good fragrance would easily land at the 100% mark before, it now has to be nearly perfect and flawless for me, meeting certain criteria to receive this highest rating from me.

But alongside all this knowledge, testing, weighing, and categorizing of fragrances, there are simply scents that overwhelm me with all their beauty.

A (admittedly) now extremely rare phenomenon, but it can happen... like with "Daimiris" by Laboratorio Olfattivo.

This fragrance literally captivates me throughout its entire (long-lasting) scent journey. I don't even want to take my nose away from the sprayed spot on my arm, so as not to miss a single nuance of this scent!

The top note consists solely of saffron, which comes across as very aromatic with a slight bitterness and spiciness. Very present, very expansive, and very pleasant.

This fragrance could have also been called "Safriris" or something like that, as the saffron accompanies this scent through all phases.

In the heart note, iris and suede join in. However, the iris in this case has no desire for powderiness but rather shows itself from its cooler side. Not metallically cool, but rather cool in the sense of a foggy morning at sunrise.
The suede note is pure luxury and gives an extremely expensive, valuable, and soft impression. By the way, its softness ensures that the iris does not appear too cool but gains warmth and depth through the leather.
The rum mentioned in the fragrance pyramid is hardly noticeable to me, at most a hint of it, which I actually appreciate.

I personally perceive the base as very amber-heavy, the musk is present but remains in the background and does not exhibit its sometimes present soapiness. And those who know me know that "amber-heavy" means heaven on earth for me!

And beneath, between, and above everything, saffron keeps flashing through. In this case, I would say that the top note defines the entire fragrance and does not merely serve as an appetite stimulator.

So, just like this and not otherwise must a fragrance be to receive 100% from me!

I find "Daimiris" to be ambivalent; it has a certain strictness that is simultaneously softened by a moderate sweetness or lightness. Very unusual, but perhaps that is precisely what makes this fragrance so appealing.

"Daimiris" has shown me its most beautiful side, so that I practically fell in love with it at first sight. Immediately, one of my favorite songs came to mind, namely "The first time ever I saw your face" by the highly esteemed Leona Lewis. A highly emotional and touching song about the magical moment of the first encounter between two people who from that moment know that they inevitably belong together.

From my perspective, "Daimiris" can be worn by both genders (provided one likes saffron). The longevity and sillage are extremely good, so you can enjoy the fragrance for a long time.

Just give it a try; perhaps you will also experience this magical fragrance moment ;-)

The New Year's Eve Flui

New Year's Eve is bright, New Year's Eve is sparkling. New Year's Eve is exclusive, New Year's Eve is glamorous.
New Year's Eve represents the second largest area of expertise of Flui after Christmas.
DI is a scent that completely reminds me of New Year's Eve. It has absolute glamour appeal and reminds me of a silent fireworks display. You simply stand on the Eiffel Tower, look down at the city, and watch the bursting rockets. All sorts of colorful, fiery hues pour into the sky.
DI conjures colorful, sparkling, glamorous shades in your nose. Strong pastel colors unfold after you activate the sprayer, in the shades of saffron, leather, and a (rainbow) iris.
These colors have never been known before, only Daimiris knows them. Like a firework that slowly begins, building up to the most intense climax and creating a glitter effect from one to another. You can feel the cascades coming towards you and enveloping you, consuming the night, and ultimately losing themselves in the sharply defined glitter effect. The saffron is supported by the iris and the leather, but saffron puts on the most spectacular show. The leather later takes over from the saffron while first forming the contrast, then also assuming the stage presence.

Even if I’m being a bit exaggerated now, DI is among the two best saffron-iris-leather scents.
New Year's Eve has something ambiguous, the old passes away, the new comes. DI is not purely a women's scent, nonsense, DI is a unisex scent, a glamorous unisex scent.

The Transformation

Daimiris begins with a very noble saffron note that appears subtly leathery.

The saffron note in Daimiris is designed in such a way that you truly feel as if you are holding the threads of saffron in your fingers.

Our dear perfumer "Verbena" sent me her remaining sample, giving me the opportunity to test this fragrance, for which I would like to express my sincere thanks.

The cardamom subtly underscores the noble saffron note with its aromatic, slightly spicy nuances in the background.

This constellation can be detected on my skin for about 15 minutes before the heart note unfolds.

A very fine-powdery, very delicate, almost fragile iris can be detected, giving the fragrance a very pleasant aura.

Very soft brown suede joins the iris, making the fragrance appear very elegant.

In the background, there is a faint woody, subtly fruity hint that comes from the rum.

However, this constellation does not remain unchanged.

The fragrance undergoes a real transformation, which I find truly fascinating.

Within 20 minutes, the iris recedes into the background, leaving the soft brown suede to take center stage.

The rum takes over the middle part, resulting in a beautiful soft leather scent with a woody, subtly fruity aura.

The iris does not fade too much into the background, as it is still very perceptible, now more responsible for rounding off the composition with its fine-powdery quality.

This constellation can be detected on my skin for a good 5 hours before the base asserts itself.

And this brings forth a very warm, yet clear femininity.

Amber in an amber color, sweet-spicy, merges with the clear musk into a whole, and these two components give the fragrance a very pleasant femininity that invites cuddling.

Overall, the fragrance can be detected on my skin for 7 hours.

The sillage is designed from the beginning so that you are only noticed when someone is sitting directly next to you, and this is maintained until the fragrance fades away.
