Contradictory, with both a modern metallic feel and an ancient sacred ritualistic sense.
The crisp opening exudes the greenness and bitterness of quinine bark, reminiscent of a last glimmer of light before death, enveloped in an intense greenness accentuated by aldehydes that evoke a metallic sensation, creating an opaque forest. The freshly lit incense floats lightly like mist around the body.
As the fresh and vibrant green subsides, the woody notes of pine and cypress gradually intensify in the middle, as if parting the dense foliage, touching the tree trunks, and intertwining with the smoky, cool-burning sensation that boldly climbs the softness of the plants.

With the passage of time, musk and frankincense resin become more velvety, merging with the sweat and oils of the skin, creating a hint of sensuality.
The incense burns throughout but gradually becomes tranquil, gentle, and hazy until the green is completely consumed.
Interestingly, this fragrance possesses contradictory qualities. It embodies both the modern, icy, metallic urban feel and the sacred and solemn essence of ancient mythology.
These two aspects subtly intertwine depending on the attire and the desired aura of the day.

Overall, it gives a dry, fresh, transparent, lightweight, elegant, and green impression. Interestingly, at higher temperatures, compared to the metallic green sensation of winter, the dry woody aspect becomes more prominent.

The character associated with this fragrance is not cold but rather cool. They have a calm and firm demeanor, gentle yet distant and aloof.
Additionally, whether influenced by the name or not, the imagery in my mind evokes a sense of ancient civilization and sacred rituals.
It portrays a stone temple covered in climbing greenery, where the echoes make it difficult to determine the origin of the sounds, surrounded by almost inaudible murmurs and chants, simmering beneath a calm surface.

Scent 8/10 (Fragrance may vary based on personal preferences and experiences)

Cold War
After No 10 took me cuddly and cuddly for himself - and drove me into a nostalgic cafe house, No 20 turns away from me dryly and brittle, whereby I want to change the title Cold War - into Dry War.

Bulky and creaky the cinchona bark crumbles towards me and I am helpless.

Who does this inaccessible fragrance suit?

Not to me " Schmuse Suse " in any case.

Maybe too much bitter ladies and gentlemen in straight business suit?
There are people who value distance.

Oud and incense resin unite to something bitter, which also keeps at a distance.
I don't perceive anything animal that might have breathed life into the dreary scent.

But in this way he conveys a static that I can't get to grips with.

Maybe for characters whose motto is:
Better alone on a cactus than ten on a silk pillow.

L'Eau Guerrière No.20
This fragrance opens with a spicy, almost herbal, green accord, aldehydes being responsible for the sparkly green, slightly floral first impression. At first rather harsh, the fragrance quickly mellows into a more tranquil composition that reminds me very much like an exotic woodland, say in China. I smell woods, fragrant grass and unusual shrubs. Well blended and very relaxing, this fragrance is "zen" masculine; I'd say it is the more assertive brother to green, green, green. However, unlike that other fragrance it does not have a great presence, the vegetal green notes burn off rather quickly and after only 1 hour all I smell is spicy herbs/ wood with a touch of incense. This is a very sheer scent that progresses quickly. Lasts for merely three hours on my skin.

A warm, green, woody, resinous and incense water, of pristine beauty, but whose performance does not justify its price, a shame.
