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.

Satanic Vers(ions)
I have firmly resolved not to write anything, absolutely nothing, about the creator of this perfume, and I can say that it is really hard for me. I like modern and contemporary art, but you can't just shove anything down my throat. Oh damn.......

I will set aside all artistic approach and let the scent speak for itself.

It probably won't surprise anyone when I say that I quite like the scent, because after all, as Angua has already described, it is a smoky spicy fragrance with a slight inclination towards the raw. However, I really can't understand the whole orgy and vice thing, but maybe I'm just a bit desensitized in that regard. :)

Satyricon actually starts off quite harmless. The opening chord reminds me of the taste of the dark violet Campino candies from back in the day. Slightly fizzy sour and the plum tricks me into thinking for a brief moment that it's a blackcurrant, because I believe that’s what they tasted like back then.

The fruity note quickly recedes into the background, and a slightly dull spice combo paired with sweet myrrh makes its way to the forefront, and the scent increasingly darkens.

The smoky note lingers quietly in the background from the middle on, to which, apart from a hint of cumin, the spice combo also joins in. In the dry down, a mix of myrrh, wood, and a hint of cocoa dominates the scent.

Whether this whole thing appears sinful, decadent, or otherwise corrupt is something everyone must determine for themselves. For example, I found Rien or Chaogne by ELdO to be much more decadent.

Satyricon is an interesting scent and indeed not for lovers of everyday perfumery, but I wouldn't classify it as unbearable either. However, it does require a bit of stubbornness to wear such a fragrance with conviction.

Anyone who wants to test the scent should disregard the satanic trappings and allow themselves to be taken on their own scent journey, even if it ends up being a Roman orgy, or even purgatory.

In terms of price, the fragrances are a bit too ambitious for me to purchase Satyricon, but if it were a gift, I would enjoy wearing it from time to time.

Dear Angua, thank you very much for the opportunity to test!

Black clove destroyer meets cumin cruiser. Hit. Both sunk!

A fragrance of contrasts. Complex. Caraway, clove vs. vanilla, cocoa, and myrrh. Woody-spicy. Very unique. Reminds me of Gothic Angel.

Maximally incompatible scent components (cocoa, cumin, plum, myrrh...) are boiled together under high pressure. Satanic.

Whole clove stamps are pounded in with a wooden mallet. Garnish: A slice of plum with a sharp pinch of cumin. Bold.

You wouldn't believe it... I only smell clove and myrrh... my nose is overwhelmed by the spice attack. Plum is just a little in the background. Noooo.
