Quentin's molecular spice kitchen
Every year, the fragrance house MAB surprises us with some unique fragrance creations that I have never smelled before.
This year is all about tuberose, but not subtle NO, the full blast
As in Tubéreuse Astrale, a nuclear performance awaits us here. The fragrance starts a little less sweet than the Tubéreuse Astrale, and is rather green-tart, probably due to the mate it contains, but this fades towards the base.
A subtle spiciness joins in, reminiscent of opening a bag of paprika chips, but only if you smell it directly on the skin. In the air, the whole thing develops into a great mixture that will give you a head-turner.
In the base, the tonka bean makes the fragrance sweeter and creamier. The tonka bean reminds me of Encelade and is buttery soft.
The longevity is brutal, after two 2 days + sports and showers, still noticeable on the wrist. An accidental splash on the shirt made sure that I only smelled the Aldebaran on my neck despite another fragrance
The sillage is nuclear, so I would use a maximum of two sprays indoors and I say that as a permanent frequent sprayer so be carefulThe perfume suits strong personalities (regardless of gender) you will stand out and have to be able to wear it, otherwise it will wear you
As with all fragrances from MAB, I would not recommend a blind purchase, even if I tend to do so myselfThe fragrance is ideal outdoors, especially in the evening when the sun is slowly setting and it is no longer so oppressive. Also for special occasions and celebrations.
