Blessing of the Caribbean
I join all the pirate comparisons of my predecessors, and I think it’s great that I can! This fragrance truly combines many scent notes that must not be missing in a good pirate fantasy: boozy rum, coconut, a bit of sweetness, wood, tobacco, smoke, leather, green notes, and a very fine mustiness.
Malibù - Party in the Bay for really hearty people.
[The fragrances don’t have much in common aside from coconut and a boozy note, but they effectively represent the two ends of a Caribbean fantasy spectrum.]
Or better: People who wear Fan Your Flames ambush those who wear "Malibù - Party in the Bay | Simone Andreoli."
Or: People who wear Fan Your Flames turn a stiff beach party with piña coladas into a wild rum feast.
What do I like about the fragrance?
1. The scent is strong and multifaceted. In fact, the first minutes are very boozy, green, bitter, and somewhat unappealing. Since it was a blind buy for me, I briefly felt a certain regret. Only over time do coconut, tobacco, sweetness, and finer woody notes develop for me, making the fragrance really good, pleasant, and even a little elegant - although the scent should feel most at home in casual leisure. Additionally, I personally detect a slightly leathery note: the oak moss shows clear edges but harmonizes excellently with the other fragrance components.
2. The fragrance stimulates the imagination, and we associate heavier, bitter-spicy scent notes with sun, beach, and sea. Pirates in the Caribbean, indeed.
This breaks a tiresome cliché: with heavy, dark, gourmand, or spicy fragrances, direct connections are often made to winter wonderlands, Christmas markets, fireplaces, or other cold-romantic scenarios. This annoys me, and Fan Your Flames shows that it’s all in the mind and that classic notions can be questioned. Of course, one should take care of oneself and one’s environment regarding heavier fragrances in higher temperatures.
