No Aladdin, flying solo on the tapis volant ...

If you bought this expecting an oriental perfume right out of Arabian nights you’d be disappointed. This is a flying carpet without Aladdin or his Genie! The perfume is airy, light and sublime! I am glad I received this as a freebie with a purchase, I’ve been obsessed with the scent since October 2019. I cannot distinguish the individual notes, all I smell is this beautiful creamy floral soapy iris mingling with Jasmin which wraps me like a scent scarf. It’s different from anything I smelled before and if I believed in signature scents then this is totally signature scent worthy.

Between Dirt and Cleanliness

Jasmine is a fascinating flower. It can smell as wonderfully clean and pure as a freshly washed white T-shirt, delicate and graceful. But it can also be different: It can have an animalistic, biting scent, almost like horse urine. Or like skin that hasn't been washed in a long time. Indolic jasmine is special and definitely not for everyone. I'll say it straight - it's not for me either. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing indolic flowers with Perris Monte Carlo's Tahiti Vanille. And similarly, jasmine here goes for it. It wants to mark its territory.

At first, the fragrance starts with an iris or carrot. Since both are present here, I find it hard to distinguish between them. The reason: Iris almost always smells carrot-like to me. But it doesn't take long, and jasmine kicks in. Interestingly, it does so in a clean and dirty way at the same time. I find that exciting. On one side, we have a scent like JHAG's Musc Invisible. Freshly washed shirt, white, pure, lovely. And then there’s that indole, which leaves its dirty trace on the garment. It reminds me a bit of the days in the horse stable with freshly washed riding clothes. That captures quite well what this jasmine is doing here.

In the scent trail, you can probably only catch a whiff of the clean jasmine. However, if you get a little closer, the dirt reveals itself. Personally, I must say here, just like with Musc Invisible, from which I had to part after a while, the sandalwood note does not appeal to me once again. It brings a somewhat dull synthetic quality with it, which makes me envision a full vacuum cleaner bag. I know another perfume where this happens with Jaipur and Mortal Skin *grins*. Without this woody note, it would have been a candidate I would have definitely looked into more closely. As it stands, I find it interesting and worth testing, but not worth buying.

Jasmine fans should definitely check out Tapis Volant. A big thank you to Pluto for the sample.

No Similarities!

A short, concise title to describe a wonderful fragrance that has no competitor in its composition and scent!
Having sniffed many perfumes, both "common scents" and complicated formulas, I can confidently say that I have never encountered "ONE LIKE THIS" before. Even when I dig deep into my scent memory archive, I find nothing even remotely similar.
The fragrance itself, after a very powdery start, increasingly reminds me of a clover field near a forest. Although there is no "clover" in it at all. This is probably due to the overall concept that leaves this impression. Fine sweet accents, yet a delicate bitterness, set the tone. Alongside a spicy, somewhat "herbaceous" aura, woods and grasses are also clearly recognizable. Like the scent emanating from a lush, damp, well-vegetated clearing in the middle of a forest. CLOVER included!
Everything is well balanced, and no note pushes itself forward in a showy manner.
Definitely not a "common scent." Also not difficult or heavy! One with the highest recognition value and unique selling point!

Blue Carpet Made of Dreams

The window is open. A gentle breeze flows in. I look outside. Out of nowhere, it is there, inviting me, and I rise.

The blue carpet of dreams.

I immediately feel safe, we fly quickly, leaving everything behind.
A warmth surrounds me and envelops me.
We fly to a foreign land, delicate precious, fine, spicy scents I perceive.
The sun sets before us. Everything around me shines in warm tones.
We are one with the horizon.
I leave my worries, the everyday life, everything behind. I enjoy the here and now and the warming rays of the setting sun.
I enjoy the peace and security, the warmth of the carpet that gently carries me.
Below us, I see palm trees, a small oasis where camels drink. I hear foreign languages. I don’t understand them, but they sound strangely familiar.

The alarm clock rings.
I get up, take a shower, drink a coffee, and apply my perfume.
Tapis Volant.
The window is open and a gentle breeze flows in.....

Flying Carpet in the Delicate Weight Class

Today my second fragrance from the brand "Dom Rosa - Eau Sanguine | Liquides Imaginaires" arrived. The sparkling rose of the first fragrance has a strong outward effect. Tapis volant, on the other hand, is a silk carpet that takes off with a breath of wind.
In the opening, I don't smell carrot, but rather oriental spices like cumin, paired with iris. This settles down after a short time. The fragrance becomes very creamy thanks to the tonka bean, has a clean scent vibe, and then jasmine pushes through the spices. The scent is extraordinary, something I've never smelled before. I like the spicy-woody-floral combo. For me, it's a very elegant fragrance, unisex. Quickly intimate, yet present and lasting. But perhaps that's also the special kick that gives many reviewers the "dirty something." No annoying sweetness, but a pleasing creamy rounding.
The bottle has been designed consistently. Crystal clear, straightforward heavy bottle with a minimalist label and golden cap, noble and high-quality. Colorless liquid. Based on the images on the internet, I would have imagined a milky liquid. As always, it comes with a black pouch for light protection.
