Bottling The Surreal...
Satyricon opens with a tinge of plum-laced cocoa, with an underlying "trademark" melange of O'driu's cumin led culinary herbs immediately detectable before transitioning to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart it turns bonfire-like woody-smoky, as cedar logs are first thrown into the campfire, with slightly slightly sweet, minty birch and moderately pungent balsamic myrrh joining the remaining culinary herbs in support. During the late dry-down the bonfire-like smoky and pungent balsamic facets vacate, leaving the natural smelling cedar sans smoke to join with non-powdery, relatively dry vanilla and trace remnants of the O'driu culinary herbs through the lengthy finish. Projection is very good, and longevity outstanding at over 20 hours on skin.
Satyricon gives the wearer quite the ride from start to finish. It starts off just a bit sweet, using the plum and cocoa to give a hint that Pregoni might be angling for a gourmand focus. This assumption is quickly dispelled, as the perfume turns almost cade wood-like, as cedar logs get thrown on an open fire, turning the perfume campfire smoky. This smoke gets tempered a bit by a slightly unsettling supporting sweet minty presence that feels maybe a bit out of place, but is interesting at the same time. The whole thing finishes in rather mundane but quite pleasant smelling fashion as it turns into a relatively straight forward natural woody vanilla finish. I should mention that lest anyone think this is any perfume other than one by O'driu, the culinary herbs Pregoni is so well known for are present throughout, though unlike most other O'driu offerings they are always used in support. The bottom line is the apparently discontinued Satyricon shows a playful Pregoni successfully toying with the wearer's comfort zone for most of the development before allowing for some normality late, earning it a "very good" to "excellent" 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5 rating and a recommendation to the more experimental perfume wearers among us.
