Transformable Wonder Water
Scirocco is a fragrance that has such a transformable scent progression for me like hardly any other. When sprayed, it is dark and masculine; the only perceivable notes are really patchouli and a bit of cardamom. At this point, one inevitably wonders why Scirocco is declared a unisex fragrance, as the opening is rather brutal and not at all sweet or citrusy (which one might expect from the bergamot listed in the top notes).
After the harsh and somewhat smoky opening, the patchouli-like note suddenly and abruptly disappears entirely, and now the fragrance becomes sweeter and more feminine. It turns floral; I somehow perceive lily, even though it is not listed in the notes. In the background, ginger makes its presence known, adding a spicy, very slightly citrus undertone to the floral notes (perhaps the bergamot is finally showing itself). Overall, I also perceive a green undertone, which I unfortunately cannot quite place. Additionally, even in this phase, the fragrance seems to constantly change, and no matter how often I smell it, I always perceive a slightly different scent composition. Perhaps it is the desert wind that is swirling the scent notes around.
For me, Scirocco is a fragrance that I have to feel like wearing. It is not a scent that I can just spray on casually; I find it somehow too unique and also somewhat demanding due to the constant changes, even if that sounds strange. As the vetiver slowly but surely makes its way to the surface, I also find that it can be worn much better by men than by women, although such views are actually somewhat outdated by now.
Yes, I think Scirocco is great, but I have no idea when I should wear it. At work or in my free time, I want something lighter. In the evening and for going out, I want something more feminine. I also love my Encre Noir; I find it fantastic in the autumn when I am in a slightly melancholic mood, but for Scirocco, my mood would have to change as quickly as the fragrance does, and that just doesn’t work.
For me, Scirocco is a truly fascinating fragrance that unfortunately is not entirely suitable for everyday wear - otherwise, it would have received a full 100%.
