Honey-saffron floral
Senyoko is one of those perfume brands that is active in the world of fine arts. They collaborate with talents in literature, music and other performing arts. Not sure how that reflects on their perfume creations, but it is good to see a marketing strategy that goes beyond home scents and beauty products and actually contributes to culture and creativity.
Now, La Tsarine. On me this wears as a spicy floral. The scent revolves around a set of florals, narcissus in particular. Together with the clary sage, this creates an ash-grey setting. Dark tones of dried fruit and cumin provide depth, while the lovely honey note gives off a semi-sweet halo. All is connected by a thread of saffron, that persists throughout the slowly evolving scent.
Contrary to some opinions online, I do not find this a skanky animalic bomb. Sure there is a certain primal quality, but this is achieved with the 'art of suggestion' rather than explicit in-your-face musks. The musks are there, of course, but remain in a supporting position. When studied closely, they feel kind of 'waxy' and evoke a highly erotic vibe.
Personally, I particularly enjoy this sober ambience that warms up with a cocktail of honey, spice, musk and body heat. Not quite an unwearable avant-garde piece, but a skillful balance of high quality, comfort and sensuality. An exquisite perfume.
