Another Desert Wind?
Another desert fragrance then. The Sahara. Ice-cold at night, burning hot sun by day. Well, I don't find the tension in this scent quite as extreme, but it skillfully plays with the facets of warm and cool, as well as with the starry sky and the bright sun. But I also find the highest mountain peak alongside the desert. The fragrance thrives on clear air and mineral rock just as much as on the heat in the desert sand.

The essence for August's nose: salt, cinnamon, and incense. Not heavy, rather airy, this scent is very typical TDC for me. It doesn't linger too long on my arm, and after about five hours, it leaves behind a silvery smoky trail and a hint of wanderlust that blows away the last trace of oriental density from the fragrance. In the end, the smoke softly exhales in a balsamic way. An exceptionally well-crafted scent that reminds me of Lillipur by T. Terenzi.

Of Moonlight and Silence...
I love night walks in nature - away from any artificial light of village and city. When the moon illuminates the whole world with its dim light and bathes it in a mystical silvery gray, which has so many variations that upon closer inspection it develops its own play, without revealing the colors that things have by day.

Al Sahra tells of the moonlight as it meets the earth. It smells like the image of the moon itself, reflecting on wet stone and in calm water. Particularly at the beginning, Al Sahra surprises with a cool, gray character. Mineral notes as an apt description, it smells like cold, damp stone, like the scent of rain on asphalt, like exactly the scent when night triumphs over day and water lays itself in small droplets across the whole world. In this silvery gray moonlit night, violets stand, not radiant violet, but fragile and glass-like, giving much less of a fragrance, rather a soft tinkling of their delicate blooms.

And yet there is life - a familiar warmth, a softly blooming rose, and far away a group of calm people in this sparkling desert, where each individual, clear grain of sand tries to shine. A hint of the faded perfumes of the day wafts over, a quiet ambiance, the scent of bare skin. And as one approaches, the fire around which the caravan sits dims the silver light of the moon and brings its warm yellow glow. Patchouli, woods, and delicate spices come to the forefront, making the scent darker and warmer. A cool incense takes over the role of the mineral notes, until after many hours hardly anything remains but the last breaths of the deep dark red glowing sandalwood embers.

The Different Company has captivated me with this scent and its story. I find here a fragrance that authentically tells what its description promises. For me, absolutely unisex and despite its complex and dual nature, still very (and for many occasions) wearable.
