Sunken Treasure in a Pink Mist
Unfortunately, this perfume seems to have flown under the radar; I can’t explain the few reviews here any other way. Since it is also becoming increasingly hard to find, its level of recognition is unlikely to change much. I will probably continue to hold on to my two sample vials and now report on a lost treasure.
RED SQUARE is, as is not uncommon for Mad et Len, a very natural scent. Pinkish smoke rises, peppery in the gentlest way, sensual, enchanting, invigorating. Inhaling the comforting warmth, it sometimes feels as if I am floating in a large wooden barrel filled with rosé wine.
The fragrance offers me ambivalence without contradiction or disharmony: I perceive it as deep yet airy, sacred yet erotic, sweet without direct sweetness, and slightly fruity, although it has nothing gourmand about it. This fruity effect and association is very passive; I think of tiny pink berries. It smells to me like pink pepper looks.
The aforementioned invigorating effect arises in the warm overall impression from a metallic-cool undertone, which, however, does not come across as fresh and harsh, but gently slumbers like the dusty sparkle of tarnished silver.
RED SQUARE is an intimate scent that does not lavishly disperse its red incense but rather concentrates on its wearer; one should not expect too much from the sillage. I also find the longevity to be not very strong. Similar to the grand BLACK AFGHAN from the same house, RED SQUARE is more for private enjoyment.
The name of this perfume puzzles me. Not the first part of the name, which explains itself when you smell it. But the square...
I see a red square of scarlet powder, scattered like a magical sign on the floor of a sunken temple, whose rock walls are caressed by the rosy shimmer of an invisible spring. There, the red square, ignited by who knows whom, disperses its sweetly ethereal incense and gently wafts its soul into the space... What a magical blend that slumbers in obscurity.
