Standing K.O.
"Well, if he doesn't knock you down..." - So the good Yatagan announced an extra sample to me, which he had enclosed with a small fragrance post a few months ago. My curiosity was increased even more when I could read that Montecristo had knocked him over, although not in a positive sense (scroll down to the statement section for a comparison). Well, I didn't think he'd be able to dispose of junk just like that. Rather, it would actually be a "love or hate" scent, a true olfactory extremist. Well, keep it coming.
Immediately after spraying on, an incredibly dense, oppressive patchouli frankincense note (or styrax or cistus, however...) comes up here, which in my opinion is mixed with something biting, fruity and sour and strongly reminds me of apple cider vinegar or laurel leaf (Clubman Bay rum?). In addition an indefinite, somehow Christmasy spice; probably more chord than isolatable component. Be that as it may, I wouldn't have assigned such a rough, unkempt bomb to such a fine woman as Delphine Thierry. The first few hours change little in this impression and the durability is so enormous that the leather strap of my wristwatch still smells unmistakably like Montecristo many weeks after the first test, as soon as it was warmed up a little by my pulse (even though it came into contact with countless other perfumes in the meantime). Only the sour Bay Rum note has disappeared, the warm bark mulch has taken over the main role, but still balsamic warmed and sweetened.
So Montecristo really knocked me out. But I also like it - at least if it has calmed down on the textiles after a few days, which actually raises the question of wearability here. This is the first time that I will actually have to make a dot here, because perfumeuristic terrorism can be such a charming statement: I can't think of an opportunity (at most a winter evening event outdoors with mushrooms) for which Montecristo wouldn't be too hard.
