Face to Face Leykarar

This is going to be really hard, because this description of the scent demands a lot from me. It took me a long time to bring anything useful to paper - forgive me - into the keys. I usually have an association with each of the Leykarar fragrances - be it a film character or a particular situation. Here my inner screen remains black, because I cannot grasp, classify or categorize the scent. It's new to me, it almost annoys me a little.

So where do I start? Maybe on the principle of exclusion? Face to Face is not a spring or summer scent, it belongs to the autumn/winter scents for me. It starts tingly and dry-sweet at the same time and after a few seconds I also smell oud, although not indicated in the fragrance pyramid. This also makes the prelude woody. This alone is confusing and it does not become easier in the course of the fragrance. I can't identify what constitutes the fragrance, it remains a mystery. In waves it is slightly sweet once, then woody again. However, licorice shavings are not enough for it, it is dry at the same time, almost dusty, and then again round and spicy with a delicate fruity note. At best I perceive flowers as quiet background music. And every once in a while a little oud wave comes over me.

Face to Face is a very idiosyncratic composition, it reminds me a little of the Kerosene fragrances, which are often not to be grasped. He's actually the opposite of "face to face", because he won't tell me his secret at all, not even after I've tried it umpteen times. Apart from that, he seems to be very attractive to his surroundings - even my glow-eyed southern tyre dealer spoke to me in the workshop today when my car was being fitted with the summer flip-flops: "You smell fantastic - what is that?" Well, I live in the pampas, so tell somebody once that you smell like Leykarar. I have spelled it out to him, but whether Face to Face manages to move in with him until the next wheel change, I dare to doubt in this difficult procurement situation ...

I am very curious whether anyone will dare to describe this unusual scent and perhaps decipher its code. One thing is for sure: It is not easy!
