Of Cows and Rock Hyraxes
Once or twice I rolled the tiny roll-on over my arm and the whole kitchen smells of oud. Oud of the peculiar kind: Yes, it smells like a stable, and not just a little.
It’s possible that the Hyraceum is also responsible for this. According to Parfumo, 'Hyraceum or Hyrax is the excrement of the rock hyrax or dassie (Procavia capensis)'. Ugh. I wish I hadn’t looked it up.
All of this doesn’t sound so pleasant at first, but patience...
So I stand for almost half an hour between rock hyrax droppings, more or less patiently in the cow barn, hoping for a change, and it comes: It becomes more perfumey, floral-sweet notes rise now, and in the background, the light sharpness of eucalyptus wafts by. The oud remains well noticeable, but is now significantly dimmed compared to the beginning.
- At this point, my youngest smells campfire when I let him sniff briefly. He is not impressed. When I ask him to guess the price, he replies, "From the look on your face, it must be expensive." (True.) "Maybe 200 euros?" - If only he knew.
I think I can detect something slightly cinnamon-like. Overall, the scent is now, after about an hour, much more accessible, yes, it actually becomes beautiful, the oud is now just a delicate companion. It’s floral, spicy, sweet, and I like it.
Not much more happens, the scent becomes increasingly subtle over time and then, after about 2 hours, is only really recognizable close to the skin.
An interesting, yes, a beautiful fragrance, unfortunately, the lovely phase doesn’t last as long as I would have liked.
The price is unaffordable for the average person, several months' salaries would go towards it, and for the price of one or two samples, you can get really great fragrances from other brands - in a bottle. What a shame.
I thank NadiaZ and Shahram for the interesting traveling package.

the sweet whistling rock hyraxes ^^... I like them just because they look so much like rabbits. By the way, they become really tame. I just checked the price and whistled like a rock hyrax xD

Oh, what a shame! It sounds very appealing to me. But with that price, I have a bad feeling about it.

At least it inspired you to leave a comment, but it doesn't sound wearable.

Great. For a moment, I felt like I was standing among all the piles in your kitchen. Just like with cat coffee, where some people pay for what looks like excrement...

Goodness - several months' salary?! That really isn't necessary, no matter how decadent I may be in my olfactory passion. And: You definitely write way too rarely, good lady!

Oh how nice, another new Lovis comment :))) Luckily, it seems the scent isn't for me (definitely not for my wallet).
