The Yogi Tea® in autumn
Most of the time, this goes wrong with a perfume, when everything is mixed in that is perceived to be possible. Some Arabs tailored to the Western audience like to be so, also some niche brands, as well as the bulk of the nice Rammsteiner, to give a popular example. In it, you'll find a mishmash of individual components that make the final product thick and immobile. Like pizza from a cab with a meter-thick cheese layer of analog Gouda: initially quite nice for the primitive calorie hunger - but bad for the gourmet conscience towards the last slice. Is this something you want more often? If you love a feeling of fullness, then yes. But with 'BlackSoul Imperial', this thick potpourri fits, so that this rather unknown French men's perfume rises to real greatness. And this fragrance is strong, that anticipated.
He gives himself almost sweet without crossing the line to the ladies. On the other hand, also emphatically masculine with woody hints that waft through warming and fit fantastically to the changing October trees of German forests. Yes, it has that autumnal vibe of a walk in the woods and especially that of a cup of warm yogi tea - the spicy one with cinnamon and milk. Plus star anise, and amber. Always insanely soft on the skin, never pungent. In the drydown, cocoa powder and vanilla. Remains, as always, Ted Lapidus-typically very independent. He oscillates between Europe and Arabia, trying to cite both fragrance traditions to 'synthesize' something new from them. And he succeeds. BTW: No, it does not smell synthetic. To the rear, however, it smells like Western-adapted psyeudo oud. And that skillfully done.
An extremely intense, broad fragrance, but then - and this is surprising - can not really hold long on the skin. After three, four hours is namely Sense. If you consider that he is just as u20€ Cheapie verballert, that is absolutely verschmerzbar. Thick gourmandige friends for the end of the year we both become anyway.
