Moonlight and sensual Shadows

Thichila is the moon (in Thai). The Lovers' Guardian of the Night. In his shine and shadow the desire meets.

So the fragrance starts very dense and with a lot of saffron and turmeric. The florals blend in a bit, but stay covered. Especially the floral aspects are the light of the moon for me.

The counterpart are the shadows with animal notes of (non barnyard) oud and civet. And not to forget a camphor chord that comes from the Wan Sao Long. A plant species which, native to Thailand, is used for various purposes in traditional Thai medicine, but which has also been carried by men for centuries as a scent to impress women or at least to encounter them with a fragrance. It translates "The herb that intimates ladies".

For a good 8 hours resins, blossoms and spices, like moonlight, cover the subliminal sensual chords of the shadows and make Thichila an elixir. If you like orientals, this love potion is for you.

Prissana / Thichila

For me, it is a fragrance that combines, for me, notes of dark agar, civet and flowers (including saffron). With time, floral-herbal, resinous and incense notes come out more. Interestingly, floral notes are combined with the smell of an ingredient that I totally didn't know and never smelled. That ingredient is Wan-Sao-Long. What is this… ..so:
Wan-Sao-Long has been traditionally valued since ancient times in Thailand for its fragrance qualities. It usually grows in humid and cold climates. In addition to its pleasant and relaxing aromatic properties, it also has an antiseptic effect in the treatment of skin infections, cuts and wounds.
Originally, they were found in a very limited area - the south of Thailand, including the south-western outskirts, in the province of Ratchaburi.
It is now grown in the Northeast and parts of Northern Thailand where the climate is cold and humid.
Most of the Wan-Sao-Long parts are useful. You can use the entire plant - from the roots to the leaves. They all generate an aromatic and relaxing fragrance with a unique and sensual herbal aroma.

And now with info from the manufacturer:
'Dancing in the moonlight
Lost in a night of seduction
A tribute to the dark shadows.

Based on traditional Thai oriental incense flowers, it is a blend of Southeast Asian flowers, incense, resins, spices, sacred wood and Thai oud.
The main star is Wan Sao Lhong. In Thai folklore it is said that it can be used to prepare an enchanted elixir of love.
Wan-Sao-Long means 'herb that intimidates women.' It is an original Thai herb that grows in a very limited area in Thailand.
It is said that in the old days, when perfumes were not yet available, men always carried Wan-Sao-Long with them to produce an aromatic fragrance that is so strong it inspires women to love.
It is also said and believed that Wan-Sao-Long is a tree of happiness and prosperity. It will only grow with people who are happy or wealthy. '

Durability approx. 6 hours, good projection.

The two hegemons of myrrh and Thai oud oil meet

Thichila is an interesting one indeed. Disregard any reviews you see for Thichila that make it out to be tremendously complex, floral, incensey, old school, or even chypre-ish - it's really none of those things. Because Thichila is one of those perfumes that happens to be composed in an Eastern style and uses complex-smelling, exotic naturals, many people may mistake its complexity for a matter of construction. Thichila is simply one big bridge built between two massively complex materials - a natural Thai oud oil and a big, rustic myrrh. These two monoliths happen, in this case, to share a peculiarly rubbery-rooty-oily-anisic character that makes it difficult to tell where one ends and the other takes over. I find Thichila fascinating precisely because of this.

The Thai oud smells charmingly like the inside of a party balloon or a bouncy castle - plasticky, rubbery, with the far-off twang of trampled fairground straw and sticky, jammy-fruity children's handprints. It reminds me very much of one of FeelOud's more unusual-smelling oud oils, whose name I can't recall right now, but which smelled like the air that escapes from plastic lunchboxes that you're opening for the first time in three months when the new term is starting.

At some point, the sweet, plasticky rubber tube of oud rolls into the scent of myrrh - gloomy and rubbery, but also sweet and crunchy, like giant golden sugar crystals dipped in anise and spread in a hard, glittery paste across your skin. I think Thichila is, on balance, a great perfume, but fair warning - you have to love this particular style of oud oil and this particular sort of myrrh for it to be a success for you. A very specific perfume, therefore, for a very specific taste.

Warm night in a desert

No idea why, but this scent gives me a very strong impression of a warm night in a desert. Which in itself is an oxymoron because desert nights are freaking cold :D It's just warm and night-like, and also dry (?) One of the few oud-forward scents I am able to handle and even enjoy. I like a scent that paints a picture. This fragrance is smoky, it's oud-aceous, it's well spiced, it smells so warm, I can almost feel the warmth on my skin, somehow...

Temple Cat Moon

It was the night when I tied a dress for myself
from soft leather straps and champaca flowers,
when the moon dripped like balsam myrrh from the smoky wood of nocturnal pagodas.
I wanted to catch its light in chalices
and pour candles from it
for the darkness of the new moon,
when nothing but cold mist of offerings
muffles the rustling in the flowering branches.

So had the temple cats once whispered to me.

But when I wove shirts for them from nettles
and Wan Sao Long
they hurried away
on sandalwood paths.
Even today I see in the moonlight
the traces of their paws,
following them like the shimmering osmanthus thread.

Stumbling over vetiver roots
I stagger towards a foreign world
to the air castle that we both build.
A forgotten bouncy castle from childhood,
adorned with silk flowers
just for me.
And with tuberoses.

There we jump in anise mists
high and higher,
up to the moon.
Push it over to me
with a finger point!
I blow it back.

So light.

The floating of a night.

So close
So far

It admittedly took me a while to engage with the scents of Prin Lomros. It always irritates me a bit when perfumers develop many scents very quickly, and in the case of Prin Lomros, his creative drive must cater to three of his own brands with different profiles - and as if that weren't enough, he also seems to take on commissions for other houses. Impressive. Especially since I have so far encountered consistently original, exciting, and distinctive compositions that I may not all like, but none have left me indifferent.
Thichila astonished and thrilled me - and that's not just because Thichila means "moon" and thematically breaks down open doors for me.
The scent begins with a chypre-like accord of kaffir lime, camphor, and slightly bitter spices. I perceive turmeric a bit stronger than saffron, without it dominating. For cinnamon and nutmeg, I have to engage my imagination. Then a lush floral scent rises with an unfamiliar greenish accent (Wan Sao Long?) and the apricot note of white champaca, which here strongly resembles osmanthus, amidst dark woods and fine (incense?) smoke. I believe I am slowly but surely beginning to understand what oud is - or rather what it could be - and as my nose prepares for labdanum and oakmoss to make their entrance, instead, balsam-soft myrrh combines with mild oud and leathery civet. In interplay with champaca, tuberose, and spikenard, a completely astonishing, slightly sweet, rubbery or plastic-like accord emerges with a pronounced anise note, instantly transporting me to a bouncy castle, only this one is filled not with shouting children, but with exotic flowers and bathed in moonlight. Admittedly, this is as special as it sounds, but for my nose, it is equally fascinating and stunningly beautiful. I would have liked to bounce around on my olfactory bouncy castle for longer than three to four hours, but in the drydown, the scent loses a bit of its originality - or is it just my chypre nose that reacts a bit stuffily without oakmoss? The base of ambered woods and cold incense stick smoke is still lovely, but the magic of the scent lies in the bizarre floral heart note.
