Mauboussin pour Lui In Black Mauboussin 2014

At first, one can perceive an intense fresh sweet fruity, very subtly bitter note, which is enveloped by a bright, discreetly cool shimmering, slightly fleshy greenish, typical minty note that, in my opinion, ensures that the 'mandarin' appears extremely soft, even showing the tiny hairs, thanks to the combination with the 'mint'.

These two notes are enveloped and simultaneously surrounded by a gradually more noticeable, slightly salty and also very subtly buttery waxy, sweet gourmand nuance that smells of already cooled liquid caramel candy, which gives the top note, despite its still slightly effective consistency, a pleasantly dense appearance and suggests 'caramel'.

A little later, the waxy aura has completely departed, and the now slightly warming liqueur-like caramel merges with a very dense and also voluminous sweet floral note that carries very bright and clear, almost a bit soapy lovely floral accents, as well as a deep dark, somewhat mystical cream-lotion-like side, and I thought I perceived the use of 'dark violet':-).

The violet is accompanied by a subtle, yet well-present, slightly aromatic, ethereal herbal undertone that, in my opinion, is responsible for the fragrance not drifting into the mundane, but rather exhibiting a pleasantly wearable fresh distinctive profile, and I considered the use of 'sage' to be possible.

These two notes are supported by a very smooth and bright appearing, very subtly resinous woody nuance, which I also recognized as 'Virginia cedar', woven in a particularly beautiful manner, and ultimately gives the fragrance creation a certain attractive velvety polished masculinity.

In the last 4 hours, the fragrance becomes subtly creamy delicate, slightly balsamic and subtly powdery, almost transparent, smelling of warmed whole milk chocolate with vanilla foam, thanks to the 'benzoin', providing a pleasant cozy effect to the base.

At the same time, the benzoin is flanked by a penetrating veil of 'rosewood', reminiscent of dark red rose petals and their dark wood, and is led to the perfect fragrance conclusion by a very tender, elegantly used, yet seductive 'patchoulized' earthy sweet nuance.

Overall, the fragrance lasts 8.5 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the beginning for a clearly noticeable whole arm's length for 4.5 hours, before it gradually reduces to the fragrance conclusion.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our Parfumo "Honk1510" for the decanting.
