Mystical sculpture

A strangely fascinating mixture.

At first, I think of a glossy club in an Asian metropolis, where the white powder is peeled off the mirrored tables. Right at the beginning, a strange note like burnt or coked plastic stings your nose. But then a powdery-creamy note quickly joins in, enveloping the plastic and creating a fascinating melange.

The fragrance remains very harsh and dry on the one hand, while a resinous sweetness is added on the other. This makes it somewhat more natural and removes it from the clinical neon and chrome world. And then it begins to gather more and more woody-aromatic passion, although the plastic/rubber note is still quite prominent. And it also seems to me as if a fruit like plum or peach slowly creeps in later, which is why it makes me think of Mitsouko in a distant way.

Truly a unique fragrance experience and although I often dislike overtly synthetic or aldehydic blends, this one really is an experience.

I wouldn't order a bottle of it, but I would like to have it on hand for a few special moments!
