Cargo de Nuit Prada 2015

“Cargo de Nuit” is my personal sea of the moon. My only 10 here on Parfumo. This fragrance expresses a special mood within me like no other, which I can hardly describe. It calms, it strengthens, it carries - me.

Certainly, Daniela Andrier has conjured up substances here that bring lunar associations to light. I actually don’t want to overanalyze this scent; too much expertise (I don’t just mean my acceptable one, but also your outstanding one) would lift too much of the enjoyment’s floating state.
Coumarins have a calming effect, cedar and sandalwood notes are universally beloved materials, and the trick magic of the ISO-E-Super universe shakes hands. The iris, which I like to see, peeks through the fog wall for a moment.
This makes Cargo de Nuit a versatile fragrance, almost always wearable, and despite the moon and Prada’s night connotations, it warms rather than refreshes. It warms like an intimate embrace. A quiet one, though - but a familiar one.

Perhaps I like it so much because I discovered it for myself back then, without having read much about it here. It felt like a rare treasure find. One that you only have once every few years.
Maybe also because it seems beautifully understated (!) - that is probably completely out of fashion (#beast / #sillagemonster), just like the very restrained sweetness.

It moves me to inner stillness - just as I imagine it would be on the moon.

Vacuum noise, vast white, and weightless shadow.

A self.
No you.
