Divine Invasion
Breath Of God is an addictive, complex, dazzling scent that tells endless stories.
He lives from his contrasts, which develop such an exciting dynamic in themselves, that he always remains interesting and multi-layered from the beginning to his (very late) end.
It starts with a menthol-like ethereal freshness, contrasted with a woody smokiness that is demanding and nischig, but never scratchy or exhausting. Combined with an unsweet exotic fruit note, this creates a fascinating, multifaceted, iridescent picture.
From the middle BoG becomes much softer and ends in a seemingly endless fadeout on soft, subtle sandalwood. This end is almost the most beautiful of this great fragrance, it remains present like a fine veil until one can no longer distinguish between memory and reality, as if one glides on an infinite slide further and further into space.
If you want head cinema, an overgrown Far Eastern temple peels out in the rainforest, cold ashes and wild fruits. Mystical, archaic, colored, smoky, fresh.
A trip to Tibet finally inspired Simon Constantine.
A lot has already been written about the Lush brand in the comments, I can't underline the praise enough - until recently I also had the image of a hipster bath bomb shop in my head and was all the more enthusiastic about its fragrances, as well as about the rest of their range.
Straight BoG is extremely courageous, could be e.g. also of Bertrand Duchaufour and is so completely not at all Mainstream and nevertheless not pretentious or strenuous.
May this breath not run out so quickly.

Easy does it
The combination of fruit and blossom aromas, so incredibly inflationary and vehemently praised as supposedly archetypal and feminine, has not only established itself as a genre in the perfume world in the "ladies mainstream", has not only become a blueprint,...
