Soul Catcher
Black Cube is less extraordinary, but all the more brilliant in its structure. Rarely have I had the pleasure of experiencing such a fine and, above all, harmonious interplay. The framework is definitely reminiscent of Epic Man, but - and this is to my advantage - it is calmer and significantly more elegant. The positive aspect it gains from its restrained and refined character, unfortunately, also brings the only criticism. It quickly becomes only perceptible close to the skin. Of course, I want to surrender only to its beauty, but a bit more volume and power would do it good.
It starts off really only minimally fruity-spicy. Mandarin combined with pepper sets the stage. Soon, the soft incense joins in. In no way is it sacred or heavy, but initially very gentle and resolute. Resinous notes and also oud perfectly balanced dominate the first part until the incense gradually gains strength and the fragrance takes on more bitter tones. At this stage, Black Cube always reminds me of Jason Statham in The Expendables 2. Disguised as a pastor in a dark little church. A black cloak. Completely inconspicuous and reserved, it evolves into what it is. A dark, rugged type.
However, all of this does not demand any tributes. Black Cube remains smooth and continues to seek harmony. At no moment does it come across as aggressive or disturbing, but maintains its line as a background presence. Balanced, resinous-bitter, accompanied by incense.
In the base, it fades out gently. Oud and woods provide a smooth finale. I can still sense musk, and then it eventually disappears...
The fragrance is what Epic Man could have been. A perfectly and calmly balanced olfactory experience. What Epic Man has too much of has been perfectly dosed here. A narcotic for the nose and soul.
Unfortunately, it is very expensive if it is not on sale.
The slight deductions in the B-note are bearable. The fragrance is great and very natural.
The best from Ramon Molvizar.
