Extraordinary, ECOCERT-certified
Now I have once again taken on a few organic fragrances. Shaman intrigued me with its name, and the scent is indeed extraordinary. I see the shaman before me. However, a rather modern one, as Shaman does not smell of incense or witchcraft. But let's take it step by step:
I can't quite determine at first whether I like it or not. A striking note dominates the perfume, which I can't quite explain. It doesn't develop gradually; rather, it is immediately dominant and does not fade throughout the entire experience.
Here I once again reach the limits of my ability to describe a particular smell in a way that someone else can imagine it. I will try anyway and describe this strange, extraordinary olfactory experience as green-creamy-rubber-like. It sounds as strange as it smells. Yet it doesn't smell bad at all. I think sage plays a significant role here, which, in conjunction with the clove, pulls this olfactory trick on me. We usually know sage as a cough remedy or as a seasoning for veal cutlets. However, in combination with ylang-ylang and clove, it becomes something quite exotic. It is a mix of green-herbaceous with spicy-sweet, as one wouldn't typically expect vanilla in connection with cedar or sage. Well, shamans have different means than chamomile tea or cologne.
Shaman is classified as a men's fragrance. I think there may also be a few women who find the scent at least interesting. I certainly wouldn't want to wear it as a signature scent. Perhaps I don't want to wear it at all, but I had a great time getting to know it.
Meditation beginners are advised to recite a mantra, a word, as a concentration aid. I believe focusing on this scent could have the same effect. The fragrance also has a distinctly calming effect, and the longevity is quite good for an organic scent.
