Clear View on Blurred Things
At the beginning, there is a clear dominance of sandalwood and coconut, without going too much into the individual notes.
Then a rapid change occurs, introducing a subtle mineral freshness. Now I find myself, figuratively, in the perfume department of the rather quaint drugstore Müller or a similar shop with a notorious mainstream selection. This phase is actually quite cool, as it reminds me a bit of my first scent experiences in those "perfumeries" as a child. You smell a thicket of fragrance directions that simply shouldn't harmonize but somehow do. Because you are so used to it.
Back in Müller’s perfume department of my memory, the EdP is being tested vigorously by young fans, draped on the pop-up shelf standing in the way, with a terrifyingly lingering sillage from the latest star in the pop sky, marketed by eager management. As much as one would like to identify with their idols. (Many fans always have a short break during lunch before heading to afternoon classes, where as a teacher you are confronted with a weird scent mix of a 2€ rice wok dish branded with glutamate and the already tested idol perfume - both clinging to jackets in an interestingly brilliant way.)

it unfortunately tips into a too sweet corner. I would have preferred more powderiness. Or something from the listed pink pepper, which never comes to the fore in my nose. (What a pity!)
All of this unfortunately disrupts the good scent feng shui in my little head perfumery from its contrasting balance.
Something slightly rubbery joins in.
Fresh rubber, not old, porous.
Way in the back.
This state remains (v)exceedingly long (I suspect about an hour), until all impressions slowly wrap around you like a really blurred second skin.
This mineral aspect, which for me defines the term hazy, is somehow still very contradictory for my comprehension, but I am gradually getting used to it.
In this phase, you smell a skillfully creamy blend of subtle sandalwood, a hinted touch of coconut over which a soft vanilla/tonka-like velvety layer flutters - sprinkled with a few coarse salt crystals, obtained from the reduction of marathon runner sweat beads. (They must smell very fresh and cool, just like marathon runners look in advertisements)
The scent is now as intertwined as the view from slightly fogged glasses must feel. (with a view towards Müller’s window, of course)
Actually well executed, I think.
In the long run, however, we will not become friends; it accompanies me too intensely when I wear it.
It literally thunders at me. I feel like half a painkiller. Or a second skin that doesn’t fit and constricts me rather than liberates me.
RAAW is a cosmetics company that I have already come to know through the other perfumes.
As someone who is not a big fan of prominent sandalwood and a passionate hater of Santal 33, my favorites from Trice will probably remain Lobby Boy and Room 64.
All in all, however, this well-executed scent will surely find some friends!
