Expanding Consciousness Through Sniffing?
The scents of the Italian brand Morph were unknown to me until recently. Thanks to Fischlandmen, who seems to have an infallible nose for special rarities, this unworthy state has now come to an end, and I find myself in possession of a sample collection of Morph's fragrances. Thank you very much! :-)
From the range, I dared to try Nudo last, as the fragrance classification and the listed notes did not seem particularly appealing to me. By the way, Morph's website is very sparse in its fragrance description; it merely informs us that the scent is supposed to represent the union of the spiritual and the worldly world.
Frankincense and coca plant are said to be brought together here, which already gives the fragrance the expectation of an interesting, undoubtedly consciousness-expanding and spiritual task.
Now, I am not particularly familiar with either of the mentioned sides; smoking products of all kinds have always been foreign to me and have never touched my personal spiritual or profane world; I have always contented myself with the observer position in this regard.
Not to mention the intake of other substances.
Question: what happens when I olfactorily consume Nudo, 1912?
First of all, I experience a medically piercing freshness, already slightly smoky, slightly resinous, somewhat sharp, but not tear-inducing biting. Marked. I think of eucalyptus. This is not unpleasant, although I sense something not quite adequate for me personally, but let’s first see what else unfolds.
Quickly, it becomes a bit more agreeable, softer, perhaps the "flowers" mentioned here? I cannot discern what kind they are. Maybe lavender? Because the scent remains fresh and spicy, and almost simultaneously, a very woody note spreads, not soft wood, but rather sharp-woody, yes, I dare say oudy.
I am reminded a bit of Carner Cuirs, the piercing-sharp, somewhat smoky wood, but with Nudo, it is still a bit fresher underneath; the citrus note is consistently present throughout. Warmth or sweetness do not emerge for me as the scent develops. Rather, I catch a hint of soapiness, which does not detract from the fragrance and adds a touch of elegance to its prominence.
I perceive Nudo as rather masculine; I definitely envision a male wearer here, more existentialist than sunshine boy, despite a certain introversion, also gladly noticeable and relying on his special, non-physical aura, cultivating the different.
However, Nudo would undoubtedly not be out of place on some women; yes, perhaps Nudo could even serve as a particularly special enhancer of luminosity. Give it a try!
I find Nudo relatively linear, but strong in projection and very, very long-lasting: after 12 hours of wear and a shower in the morning, it is still very noticeable, even though I had only applied 2 sprays. My fleece jacket, which I wore in the evening to chill on the terrace, still spreads a strongly perceptible Nudo scent throughout the entire apartment today. Which, by the way, is not unpleasant; yes, I am inclined to say:
I wouldn’t necessarily want to sniff Nudo on myself, but as a special, diffuse hint in the air, I find it extremely pleasant. This realization I have consciously taken with me, and what Nudo does to me in the subconscious, I will probably never find out anyway. I think I will leave the jacket hanging unwashed in the wardrobe a bit longer, because who knows..!
