About as bold as they come!
Sheeesh!! This bad boy is serious… Pulls no punches from the very start—stone and fire, imbued with some deep coniferous aspects, hit you right in the face—causing even the most prepared of challengers to falter and take a moment to gather themselves…

Intensely masculine, commanding, domineering. Not for the faint of heart or floral-inclined. This is for those as unmoving and unwavering as the rock and stone captured here, and for those as bold and courageous as fire…

This is certainly the most true mineral perfume I’ve laid my nose on. While it could also be said to be quite earthy, it is still very distinctly stone. Rough, not fully polished, sparks and puffs of dust still coming off with every glancing blow. The scent doesn’t evolve too much over time, with only YS-UZAC’s signature woodiness beginning to creep in.

Though I personally find it a little too strong for more than the rare occasion, it’s a fragrance I strongly respect and admire, and would love to have a friend with the personality to pull it off with consistency. Or I suppose I’d even like to be that person myself, but alas I’m far too frilly, loving my florals and every other genre too much to dedicate enough of myself to it.

Sillage strong, longevity excellent. As with most UZACs, price is sadly prohibitively high, and sampling rather difficult. I’m glad to help at that junction if I may—just let me know.

Images conjured: stone quarries far underground, the up-close lattices of compressed strata deep in the Earth’s crust, forest bonfires surrounded by towering boulders… but also, your friend trying desperately to start a fire with two rocks and making the whole area smell of flint. Hahaha.

Bravo, good sir!

Stone from Fire or Fire from Stone?
First of all, I would like to thank a Parfumo who provided me with a sample of this, how should I say, magnificent fragrance.

One uses a flint in the summer when one wants to make a fire outside. At least, such a bowl stands in my neighbor's garden.
Well then. What should I imagine under this scent note?
Applied and smelled. Hmmmm. Frankincense. Myrrh? At least it smells like the church that one enters after a heavy incense service.
Very delicate notes. Not an extremely strong scent. I smell vetiver and something floral very faintly. Vetiver perhaps a little more.
Very pleasant to wear. Evening fragrance. Reminds me of a forest fire with a sausage over it. At least the clothes smell like that after a few days.
Very contemplative scent. No sweetness.

After about 20-30 minutes, the fragrance becomes woodier. More forest-like.

Comments from those around: Smells like gasoline/oil, forest.

For me, a very complex fragrance without clear scent notes that I can identify.

People are silent, the stone has decided to speak: profound dialogue between cold and warm, bitter and sweet, mossy and dry.

Should it smell like flint?
I'm not a mineralogist. But it could be that it happens when you put polyurethane on the stove.

Wrapped and protected by earthy vetiver, a glowing stone of wisdom radiates - calm, composed, and full of comfort.

Silver chalk and shimmering, mineral flint patiently morph into a richer fir balsam. Cold and warm. Sensationally good.
