The Witch King of Angmar
I don't know how, but something possessed me *harhar*
Strangely enough, this fragrance awakened in me a childhood memory of watching "The Lord of the Rings" for the first time with my father. I think I was 11.
Even back then, I had a small fascination for evil or, better said, "dark characters," whether in movies or books. This mystical, simultaneously infinite powerfulness and yet hidden vulnerability often captivated me more than the clichéd heroes, where in the end, as always, everything turns out well.
One of these characters was the Witch King of Angmar from The Lord of the Rings. The most powerful servant of True Evil, consumed by power and greed, so much so that he shed his human form and now obeyed his master as an evil Ringwraith.
Clad in a black cloak, riding on his winged creature, he swings his mace and instills fear and terror in every soldier in Middle-earth. An iron mask conceals a glimpse into the dark void where a human face once was.
This image is exactly what the Maahir Black Edition describes for me.
Upon spraying, you get hit in the face with the full force of the mace as pepper and juniper unleash on the labdanum. I also get a charcoal association here; the beginning is so smoky.
As the drydown progresses, the beast becomes calmer and more balsamic, and the crashing initial sharpness recedes, but not so much that it could be called tamed.
The heart notes, especially rhubarb and the resinous gurjun balsam, now dominate the fragrance.
This doesn't really change anymore; only a slightly dirty leather breaks through.
After testing, I realized that I was completely unprepared for such a machine of a scent. And this despite the fact that I can appreciate animalic and oud very much and have certainly smelled some bombs in these areas.
Anyone expecting a soothing balsamic sweet-resinous perfume here is completely on the way to Osgiliath. Instead, you get a smoky-balsamic juniper scent, for which I still haven't figured out when one might wear it.
Maybe when you have to fight a horde of orcs.

P/L ist sehr gut, ich bin vielleicht noch etwas jung für den Duft...
