Telekinesis Adam Bensahili 2025

At first, I was a bit skeptical since I read the recommendation for this scent in some other Parfumo review. (So, a big thank you for that!)
But after Black Afgano captivated me, I thought to myself, I've never gone wrong with the black concoction!

When applied, Telekinesis initially smells a bit musty. Fortunately, this only lasts a short while and transitions into a dark and woody, yet sweet and warm pineapple, evoking a cozy feeling in me. And what a pineapple it is!

I immediately thought of a handpicked fruit from the delicatessen, offered for €15 each, only served to you during a picturesque sunset on the beach in southern France.

I hope my fellow humans feel the same because this scent projects very strongly and for a long time. Perfume usually stays on my skin, but my sweater seems to have absorbed some of it and still smells of woody pineapple even three days later.

But back to the scent profile: For me, it achieves what Oud Maracuja cannot. The fruity part lingers long into the drydown, and by the end of the day, I can still perceive a warm pineapple beneath the woods. Telekinesis also avoids that slightly aggressive synthetic note of OM and remains more natural and overall more rounded. It is not weaker at all, but Telekinesis does not want to stand out at all costs. It does so anyway, as it is a very strong scent, but in my opinion, it does so in a much more casual and effortless way.

For me, it's already the discovery of the year, and I will definitely reach for the bottle. I rarely catch myself sniffing at my sweater/wrist so often that I actually believe I have become addicted.

The blend of woody and fruity notes, the powerful pineapple and the deep wood accords, are like a secret magic that lingers in the air. The scent is intense, yes, but not overwhelming. It envelops you with a presence that lasts long without ever fading away.

It is a perfume that is strong yet delicate, a fleeting thought of a forgotten memory. When I wear it, I think of the film Chungking Express by (Wong Kar Wai), of the moment when the main character buys the expired pineapple packs with the date May 1st to remember the day of his breakup. A tiny act that carries great significance, just like a scent that is more than it seems. And exactly that moment, shimmering in the neon lights of Hong Kong, comes alive in my mind when I smell “Telekinesis.”

I imagine a warm summer night in the 90s. The air is humid, the neon lights flicker, and the supermarket is the place where the melancholy of separation merges with the stillness of the night. This scent carries me into that scene, a mix of nostalgia and a quiet, bittersweet hope. It feels as if I am lingering in time, when the film breathed the air in which the moment could not escape.

I wear this perfume daily, as if I am wrapping myself in a memory that should never quite fade. Even my clothes still carry the delicate imprint of the scent after days, as if it is anchored not just on the skin, but deep in time itself.

“Telekinesis” is not just a unique fragrance. It is an experience that evokes memories that have never really passed, and it is a constant companion on a journey through thoughts, feelings, and long-gone summer nights.

What has been done here? And so suddenly entered the market? And why on earth Carbonnel? As the first fragrance…

Questions upon questions, and so much is still open. But one thing is definitely clear: the scent is a bomb. The entire experience, from ordering to the first compliment, is something I will probably never experience again.

It all starts with the cool and creative website. It seems to me that Adam Bensahili simply wants to swim against the tide. And I think he should. I have the feeling that everyone is trying to follow the same path. Here is someone who flows against the current, exactly what we perfume lovers need. We need this, and I will support it.

The packaging alone is extraordinary. The dark velvet matte that the perfume floats on, the black liquid that swims in the glass, and all the orange-yellow accents…
I will definitely keep the packaging!

The scent itself? An absolute bomb! The sweet, ripe pineapple in the opening is vibrant and brings out the exotic extra. When I first smelled it, I thought HUH? Does this fit the whole packaging? But just a few minutes later, a deep, smoky, woody fascinating counterpart unfolds. And this interplay between the two simply leaves you wanting more. You can definitely tell that the master Carbonnel had his fingers in the game. This complexity, but also at the same time this lightness and harmony is simply fascinating.

What is even more fascinating is the longevity. 12+ hours on the skin and days on clothing. I took a few days to test this for this review. Because, let’s be honest… a scent without performance can smell great, but it’s only half the battle.

For me personally, this fragrance embodies strength and elegance in perfect harmony. When I smell the fragrance, I imagine getting into a black Ferrari in a suit and driving through the night. A feeling that is priceless.

Conclusion: I am 1000% sure this will be a bestseller. And being one of the first to own this perfume fills me with joy. We need this! I would even go so far as to say: If I had to wear only one fragrance for the rest of my life, it would be Telekinesis. Huge praise to Adam Bensahili and Christian Carbonnel.
