Dark and woody with an elegant edge

A rich woody fragrance with strong honey (absolutely not in the direction of Naxos), saffron and guaiac wood that also feels uncomplicated and elegant. It dries down a bit sharp and bitter maybe due to cypriol. You could be reminded of Black Afgano and while this can be true you have to keep in mind that you will not find some of the drier notes of smoke or cashmeran that BA might be reminiscent of, this is more resinous and concrete, solid.

Nose and Hedgehog

Mythical Woods was introduced to me in my favorite perfumery (Harald Lubner in Hamburg) as a relative of Black Afgano - albeit a more distant one than could be said of some other fragrances. The test on paper already yielded a fundamentally approving nod. Then the skin test:

The opening presents an impression of cleaning product or varnish and even resembles Nasomatto quite astonishingly. But this is quickly pushed aside by…definitely more dust than raspberry. Freeze-dried fruit perhaps. Regardless, it is merely a brief inhalation, as within a maximum of ten minutes a compressed, dark myrrh-like liquid resin wood note emerges, which undeniably reminds one of Black Afgano.

Aaaaaaaaaaaber - many buts, big buts:

Similarity or not, the Profumi remains more subtle. In particular, a quickly swinging floral vanilla note emerges. Otherwise, I am not a pronounced fan of such, but today I find this juxtaposition very pleasing. Even a stronger heliotropic note after about an hour cannot spoil my enjoyment, and it disappears soon anyway. Ultimately, it confirms my analysis (see below).

After two hours, I ponder the origin of a sort of pointed sugar snap pea pod note; however, it is also only briefly present on a slow, morning-long journey of one half of the fragrance into the generally creamy and somewhat sweeter. The rich bouquet of creamy ingredients, which is mentioned (at least here), does not mislead, as there is undoubtedly a closely blended mélange of aromas to be sensed, which I cannot fully trace individually. Quite logically perhaps, because in this way, elegantly and snugly alike, it underpins the lacquer compact resin wood mix, which keeps a bit of distance from the skin and always unexpectedly delicately wafts around the nose.

I should say: The camouflage lacquer compact resin wood mix. I assert that we are dealing here with a game of nose and hedgehog. The Black Afgano proximity of the mentioned mixture is less strong when smelled on its own than it initially seems. It is merely skillfully supported and increasingly substituted by various hedgehogs, meaning: shifting, overlapping, and partially changing complements of the creamy-sweet aspects: First, it was the prickly aspect of heliotrope, then the tip of sugar snap pea, suddenly I think of the stinging part of cinnamon, the biting component of ginger, later the metallic twist of honey. What else? I do not know.

Much is evidently left to the imagination of the recipient. By the way, this would be a wonderful explanation for why there has been no mention of a Nasomatto relationship in the opinions expressed about Mythical Woods so far, while it appears strikingly clear to me as an involuntarily biased person - although I must admit that towards the end, in the course of the afternoon, I increasingly have to search for it.

So, who, I will now take a proper stance, can tolerate the distinctive aroma core of Black, but feels plastered over or even beaten by Gualtieri, or simply wants the matter to be embedded in a somewhat more flattering way, is exactly right here.

I am seriously considering the acquisition, indeed the acquisition of a (also!) vanilla-creamy fragrance! That means something.

I smell patchouli...

yes, yes, I smell patchouli... and I had to think of "Suma Oriental" at the first sniff. Those who like it will love "Mythical Woods". Far from being lightweight, woof, rich, full-bodied, pure eroticism... without the scratchy note from Suma, softer, smoother, and yet not overwhelming or filling the room. Very present, cozy, homely. Fireplace feeling with favorite cuddly socks. I can't shake the impression of the heavy chocolate patchouli, probably due to the honey. Men should definitely give this a try too, it could lead to victory :-) My heart has already been conquered by it (the fragrance).

Wonderful composition. Restock secured.

Great, spicy, woody warm scent with a hint of sharpness and light sweetness.
Wonderful, for me, unisex fragrance.
Lasts on me for 8 to 9 hours.
On clothing, even after a night of dancing, still there the next day.

I always wear it when I want something spicier, bolder, fitting with the red dress.
Not for imitators, but a *Here I am* scent.

Beautiful interplay.

I bought it back then in Hamburg on recommendation. The perfumery carries niche fragrances. Hopefully for a long time to come.

Legendary Wood

I am currently developing a true love for woody scents. Mythical Woods captivated me from the very first moment. I experience this extremely rarely, which is why my collection is so minimalist. Mythical Woods is, in my opinion, a unisex fragrance that starts off quite feminine and gentle. Definitely not a spice bazaar, it opens with sweet raspberry and saffron, honey barely noticeable, while the spiciness of ginger adds a bit of sharpness, very authentically showcasing all the woody components. I know very few perfumes where cedar and guaiac wood are so perfectly blended. Vanilla is more prominent in the opening. So if you are looking for a fragrance that has an interesting development, suitable for cooler days, with no synthetic notes, then this is perfect. In the dry down, I perceive sandalwood the strongest. It feels like a walk in nature during autumn. An absolute feel-good scent. After four hours, it still holds fantastically! A new wish candidate found.

Resinous raspberry forest
Separates The Village
From the rest of the world
Where Gualtieri's spirits hum again
From the Black Afghan
Only sweeter the songs
