Nordic Simplicity Meets Warm Spices
Once again, a spontaneous and unexpected discovery that stands out from the fragrance bubble and shows you why you love scents so much.

We actually set out to test Naomi Goodsir and further explore Sorcinelli's incense. To do this, we went to a great niche perfumery in Ulm. As expected, a fantastic selection, within an hour my nose was overwhelmed, discovering wonderful fragrances and bottles. And then there were these small bottles, very simple, almost inconspicuous. That’s why, or precisely because of that, they probably didn’t catch my attention during that hour. What a mistake! All my mindfulness training down the drain!

When I asked the knowledgeable saleswoman if the boring bottles had anything to offer in terms of content, the answer was "Oh yes, you should definitely test them." Well, lesson learned: Even noses need mindfulness training!

I first learned that the label comes from Oslo, Norway. Norwegian simplicity in the bottle & Nordic heritage, mostly vegan and cruelty-free. Coming from the design corner. That explained the simple design. So we tested through the Scandinavian label. We got stuck on Le Voleur and Post Hume. Both beautiful, but Post Hume particularly captivated me.

At first, I detected a hay note. Childhood memories of dry grass/hay. Austria. Alpine meadows. Security. Childhood. Perhaps the name of the perfume led me there. Post Hume: The past, reflection, memories, and then with Hume a reference to the natural philosophy of David Hume?

This mood was likely brought to me by the tobacco, as well as the leather with the spices and the dry smoke. Additionally, the beautifully intertwined vetiver contributes to the earthy and dry grass note along with the smoke. The vanilla was also pleasantly recognizable, but only in the second moment. The whole scent picture was warm for me, very spicy with tobacco and vanilla and the lovely Nordic smoke with the dominant cinnamon and clove component. Tonka adds a balsamic warmth. I didn’t get any Christmas vibes; I briefly thought of the spice axis of "Chergui (Eau de Parfum) | Serge Lutens," but Post Hume is drier, more minimalist, and cooler.

Afterwards, I read that Post Hume won the Art&Olfaction Awards 2020 in the "Independent" category. The first perfume created in Norway to win this award. In my eyes, rightly so. Additionally, it has very good longevity and pleasant sillage for me. A lovely scent for autumn and winter.

Extremely long-lasting "potpourri" scent reminiscent of 34 Boulevard St. Germain from Diptyque with extra oomph from leather and tobacco.

Gentle vanilla and spices with enough tobacco to add a new dimension and contrast the sweetness. Evokes a feeling of pampering in a spa.

A spicy bomb with a pleasantly human touch in the opening. Over time, it becomes a bit softer, creamy woody, while remaining sweet and bitter.

Cinnamon and clove intertwined with tobacco, vanilla, and leather create a warm, spicy composition. Creamy with a distinct smoky depth. Very exciting!

I wouldn't have thought of cinnamon and vanilla here. To me, it smells more like a cigar box full of exclusive collectibles from Cuba.

Nothing Nordic. Nothing cold. This is the scent of the apocalypse: PostHume indeed. Tragic and bittersweet at the same time. Gunpowder and excess.

Sweet spice bomb. Not for me. Longevity is very good!

Shouldn't the perfume have been called "Kant"? Marketing mumbo-jumbo: "Scent of Nordic heritage". Hence the cinnamon, vanilla, and so on.

Animalistic and bitter. Smells like the ferret cage at the zoo. Not my thing.

Very problematic blend of various animalistic spice notes, led by cumin. Underneath, a physical sandalwood tone. Demanding.
