Lukullian Borderliner

Is there such a thing as manic-reflexive cannibalism, a narcissistic Jeffrey Dahmer type? Olfactorily dissociative? I would like to eat myself right now, but first I’m going to have a smoke, "Malvs" does it the same way, after all, he smokes too. While I sit on the balcony with him and roll one, I think to myself: "What else can you expect from such a bottle than that it somehow has an occult vibe, no, wrong word, so somehow goes with black magic or something..."
Now we’re sitting here looking over the rooftops, I’m smoking, he’s burning incense and myrrh, grinning a bit with a fresh, mischievous air, and absentmindedly digging in the balcony plant soil, just a little. He leaves his supposedly seductive apple behind with me. As I flick off some ash, I glance briefly into his eyes, they glow melancholic, warm and androgynous, sweet and amber-colored. "Are you ambering me now?" I ask him and feel somehow caught. He says nothing, continues with the incense and myrrh. As the sun sets red over the warm rooftops, I lean against him, he gives off a bit of cedar and starts to sweat sweet resin, while he keeps smoking and suddenly I feel like eating him. This seductive mélange of herbaceous-woody (vetiver and cedar) and smoky-spicy-sweet notes (besides those already mentioned, fine-grained sandalwood and a hint of vanilla are also noticeable), like sweet liqueur mixed with pipe and cigar tobacco, seems to have a direct access to my gustatory perception. I want to taste him, on my tongue. I restrain myself.
For six hours he hypnotizes me, lulls me into a daze, always very close to me, then he lingers in sweet amber and musk for a few more hours before he leaves and I come back to my senses. I am physically unharmed.
Is he too sweet for me? I don’t know, maybe a borderliner. I don’t have to marry him! I live olfactorily promiscuous. Let’s see if he gets to move in with me in the fall!

Autumn Time

For days I've been sniffing my skin, spraying my right wrist, then my left. Then again my hand, the inside of my elbow, pressing my nose deep into the pores...
But the Malvs leaves me hanging with growing enthusiasm and budding love, silently pondering.

Today, finally, my journey with him begins and he whispers images into my ear; landscapes unfold before my eyes. On a very early day, my feet carry me out, across the vast meadows, at the end of which stand hedges, shrubs, and trees. The world is still quiet, occasionally a creature rustles, a bird rises into the first light.

The air is fresh, cold, and clear, slightly smoky, mist still hangs in the grass and I am glad to have chosen sturdy and, above all, waterproof footwear.
In the distance, apple trees stand; the harvest has begun.
A hint of pepper lingers in the air.

I prefer to take these steps alone, without the interference of human voices, ringing phones, or worse, the noise of engines.
This tranquility is one of the important refueling stations for my soul. It spreads a dry, soft sweetness over my inner restlessness, minimally balsamic-creamy, warming and soothing. Nothing clatters and shrieks, lashes and pushes.

The path leads back into the house, to the fireplace.
A softly crackling and popping fire welcomes me; grounded again, healed with much joy and a desire for romantic cozy hours.

A scent not only for the beginning autumn days.
Certainly more than exciting in summer heat and soon in the chattering time with frost and ice.
Sillage is acceptable,
on fabric, the Malvs lasts well over a day.

Anyone who loves incense must try this!

I want to give a warning upfront:

Anyone who cannot handle incense at all will not be happy here - definitely not.

I personally have no problem with this scent note, as long as it is captured and tamed by contrasting elements. However, I cannot relate much to the atmosphere of a crypt or a musty cellar. Such scents are simply too dark and unfriendly for me. Moreover, they just do not suit me, but they have their right to exist, as they suit other people excellently.

"MALVS" is a true incense bomb and due to its extraordinary character, it is a fragrance that leaves me somewhat unsure of where I stand.
The incense here is omnipresent and extraordinarily dominant. While it may evoke certain cellar associations in me, these are not characterized by mustiness or other unpleasant things. The cellar here is clean, dry, so well-kept rather than neglected. Still, all of this is personally not easy for me to wear, as the incense simply appears too dominant, and once that happens, it can be as clean as it wants. It just becomes exhausting.

The contrasting effect I mentioned at the beginning of my comment is only minimally provided by sandalwood. This adds a bit of sweetness and creaminess to the incense atmosphere. However, I suspect that part of this sweetness may indeed come from the incense itself, as it resonates right from the initial spray, where sandalwood is still undetectable.

In the end, we are dealing with a composition where a sweet, quite clean incense plays the main role, only slightly restrained by creamy sandalwood. For incense lovers, this fragrance is definitely worth a try. For others, however - and I count myself among them - it could quickly become overwhelming. I once again note that pure incense scents do not suit me.

protective incense

The world of incense is a very special one: Many different scent nuances exist in this universe, none of which are alike.
Bright and dark, soft and scratchy, stirring and protective, misty-cloudy and bright-transparent: possibly even all at once!
I, “woman of noble floral scents” (I always compare them to the former floral dresses of Valentino), discovered these extremely interesting scent worlds rather late.
Thanks to Meggi, who put together a “beginner's incense” collection of fragrance samples for me back then. Oh, what an exciting journey of discovery it was, and it is still not over; some of the samples are still waiting for their test.
And I learned quite incidentally: incense is truly not just incense!
(The fact that it also opened the inner door to amber scents for me is particularly lovely.)

The fragrance “Anonimo Veneziano” from the brand Nobile 1942 immediately enchanted me with its elegance.
Therefore, I was very curious about how I would get along with this being called “Malvs.”
Is “evil” really lurking everywhere?
And does “Malvs” offer protection against it?
Was “the goat made the gardener” here, creating evil as protection against evil?

Incense and myrrh, in the scent earthier and more primal than incense and excellently corresponding with the later emerging patchouli and vetiver aromas, immediately weave a protective sphere that excludes much unpleasantness, but equally protects all thoughts and secrets.
Thus, an inner balance is quickly established when one can surrender to this composition, opening its senses and soul.
A fruity hint of apple, lightly pepper-spiced, flashes briefly before “Malvs” ultimately transports you into the magical world of resins and woods, where incense dominates in many variations: from almost sacred-dry and bright to flattering, almost cuddly-dark warmth, lightly supported by musk and vanilla in an animalistic way.
Unusual, but not frightening or oppressive; not an incense scent for beginners, but still very transparent amidst all the spicy smoke: a fragrant space where amber ultimately sets little glowing flames that bring light into hidden corners.

“Nobile 1942” succeeded in creating a cathedral of incense with “Malvs,” whose door opens to all those who wish to follow these “smoke spirits” with all their mysteries.
“Malvs” is not evil!
On the contrary: it offers me protection for a few hours and guards me; even from myself, from galloping thoughts and endlessly spinning “rumination carousels,” from which there seems to be no exit.
Thus, this somewhat scratchy yet simultaneously soft creation is a lighter alternative for me to “Encens Flamboyant,” which I still like to use as my scent protection spell on certain days as an enhancement of “Ambre Fétiche” (both by Annick Goutal).

Certainly, “Malvs” is an ideal fragrance companion for autumn, as already mentioned here.
When the first mists settle over the land, and the last smoke trails rise from the harvested fields and the potato fires, then is the right time for a moment of pause, a reach for a light warming jacket that still somewhat scratchily embraces the summer-wounded skin and thus also protects.
Protect from what?
Let “Malvs” keep this secret; we have our own (now well and safely stored in a beautifully chiseled soft incense fragrance capsule).

the pastor's sweet sin

MALVS means "bad/evil"

how good that this does not apply to the scent ;)

MALVS starts with a hefty dose of pepper. It has real punch. A great "kick" to start the day in the morning.

It doesn't take long before an apple comes in from the left.

sweet and fruity. simply delicious. As soon as the apple arrives, it is already surrounded by light gray wisps of incense.

After a few hours, the apple is completely devoured, leaving behind a pile of slightly charred wood with a hint of vanilla.

I imagine that after the Holy Mass, the good priest hurries home, where his housekeeper awaits him with a delicious meal. For dessert, he gets wonderful apple pie, and the scent of his incense-laden clothing mingles with the sweet treat.....sweet sin in the rectory indeed ;)
