Into the smell of Grenouille's spell
Since the opening it caught my attention, it's a unique combination of amber, birch, benzoin and orange, giving a citrus-amber vibe, but not too sweet.
It reminds a little to the smell of Blue Amber, that cozy feeling of an old loft, something melancholic. Although it's not listed, it has something leathery, I suppose that's the birch-benzoin part, the effect is quite cool.
Opening sillage is around a meter and a half, good quality of ingredients.
There is a subtle mix of lavender-jasmine that adds to the old smelling effect that it smells old, giving more uniqueness to the chord.
My partner didn't like it, she said that it smelled very strong and heavy classical, such as Shalimar could be, but even heavier, however I was not harassed by the bursts from my neck, I think it lasts longer than it projects.
After three hours there are citrus, orange, the vanilla touch of benzoin (perhaps this also contributed to the old smell effect). Now that it is drying it feels even older, but I'm enjoying it anyway, I understand that this phase is difficult and it's not for everyone, it requires a certain tolerance.
It smells to another era, not the typical "it smells classic of the 70/80", it's the smell of The perfumist, of Grenouille.
