Cold Elegance

Tundra - cold vastness punished by even colder wind. Gray skies above, permafrost beneath. This scent really evokes me that inhospitable place. It started with cold mint and earthy patchouli, reminding me of Icelandic lichen pastilles. Musk gradually amps up, resulting in more elegant olfactive composition. In the base some sweet note shows up, maybe ylang ylang or vanilla. Beautiful and peculiar composition. Surprisingly wearable.

An Otherworldly Beauty

A very rare patchouli, probably my favorite so far. It's authentic in a way that it captures the medicinal aspect of patchouli with its opening, but then it becomes light and almost ethereal when sniffs of mint and musk strike in. What I love the most about it is definitely from its middle phase till its last minute. Perfectly balanced that it evokes the feeling of standing in awe to a grand scroll of landscape ink painting. It definitely gives off a glance of the windy wildness, but meanwhile the musty moss and soil make it super grounded and soothing. It's not that intrusive as a patchouli if you're concerned about that, even though it lasts +8 hours on my skin. I wear it on a daily basis and my friends always compliment me. I bought it in Rome and now it's almost an olfactory marker of Rome for me.

May Attract Ghosts (or Repel Mosquitos)

I'm not sure if this "Thundra" is a winter perfume, symbolic of melting ice on the Tundra. Or if it's a summer smell, symbolizing the humid earth during a thunderstorm. Either way, this scent is vivid and mystifying.

The first note I smell is fresh cut lavender. I now realize this may just be the fresh, icy note of mint paired with herbaceous patchouly.

There is also an incredibly vivid petrichor. It is not an overly wet, or concrete aroma. Instead, it feels more "humid." Like the smell of a still-humid thundershower. There may even be a bit of mossiness to it.

Overall, this fragrance feels very cold, damp and somewhat soothing. I would say it's rather spa-like and may even seem "medicinal" to some. For me, it is calming and meditative.

I most recently wore a sample of this to bed in the ancient Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood. I had my first ever paranormal experience that night. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe the heavy atmospheric scent of damp places is attractive to the spirits. Or maybe it's just an old hotel with electrical issues. Who knows!

I also suspect this combination of oils might repel mosquitos (haven't tested yet) so it may become my go-to summer fragrance for outdoor activities like camping. Needs to be experienced.

Meditative Patchouli

Surprisingly, my favorite from the brand and I've smelled almost all of them. I thought I would gravitate towards the ambers or maybe more of the popular ones, but no. This is a very unique patchouli indeed. Minty, smooth, musky patchouli, and it is one of the most serene fragrances I've come across. There is something so calming about this. Comes off to me as a bit cold, a bit damp in a way, leafy, but oh so therapeutic. Not sure what season I'd wear this in. I'm almost leaning towards... whenever the hell you want. It's not a beastmode scent in terms of projection so I think this could suit any situation.

The Home of Rudolph with the Red Nose

After "Wild Hunt," I am now trudging through the next forest. But to be honest, I don't like it here. A chill overtakes me, the sun has hidden behind gray clouds, and there are no more deciduous trees. I think of conifers with lichens and browsing damage. I can distinctly smell the resin that the injured trees exude.

It goes without saying that Thundra is not made for someone who prefers glamour, romance, or radiant elegance, but even then, it takes a fair amount of backbone to wear this fragrance.

Thundra feels very natural, but Mother Nature can also be quite harsh at times. It's interesting, but I don't want to smell like this. However, I can imagine the scent being appealing on men's skin, but even then, more in autumn or winter, when Rudolph is preparing for his next season.
