Leather souls in misty fields
Their dark souls would faintly glow at nights like will-o'-the-wisps made of obscure resins over the misty fields. It is said that one can still sense former lifes in their wild leathery faces, in bitter almond brown colored mists above their warm and soft bodies, in their legs made of bark, on which they wander through earth like liqueurs and spin their threads of woody nutgrass roots into all the warm, damp soils like green trails of smokes and gasoline. Sometimes we follow them.
**
Alejandro Acosta's multimedia oeuvre spans many areas. It is primarily his painting that has made him famous worldwide. He lives and works in Barcelona, where he also creates what he calls olfactory sculptures. Fragrances as artistic creations open paths to the past and create doors from which the person who brings the fragrance into their life can generate new memories and experiences that escaped the artist, he writes on his website.
“Dark Souls” initially conjures up thoughts of warm, soft suede, which emerges from a shadowy, glowing, dark woody resin, with just a hint of animalic notes from civet and castoreum, which soon merge with the woody, mossy aromas of Cambodian oud. Sweet, liqueur-like Java patchouli adds further earthy warmth to the heart, before the nutty, earthy, leathery notes of cypriol become more dominant in the base, along with the smoky, earthy, greenish terpenes of Haitian vetiver and the woody, smoky earthiness of Sri Lankan vetiver. It has just the necessary edge at all times and remains absolutely wearable.

Smooth & Harmless
A smooth, and softly blended amaglam of oud, silky leather and vetiver. The evolution of the scent profile is so level and gentle, that after a while it smells like a dark chocolate with the softest of leathers. Hence, to me it's quiet reminiscent of Pardon by Nasomatto, and that's my biggest clash with the scent; that something named Dark Souls, should have been much more intense, stinky, and setting your nostrils ablaze.
All these intense elements that are ascribed as notes by the perfumer are very mellow, and easy on the nose. Apart from this discrepancy between the name of the scent and the expectations it sets for itself, it is a very lovely fluid perfume.
Some alternatives to it could be Cuoium by Orto Parisi, Black Knight by Francesca Bianchi, or even T-Rex by Zoologist. In these scents the accords of raw leather, medieval vegetation, scenery that is ablaze, rustic armour are much more prominent.

Spot on
The inspiration for this fragrance are the "Dark Souls" games, and honestly the scent is spot on, anyone who has played these games can probably guess how it would smell already. Very dark animalic leather, I personally get some cacao elements aswell. Lasts insanely long on my skin and the projection is also very good. The caps are handmade by the owner and look like little art pieces in your collection.

Dark Souls combines smoky leather and hints of oud over green and earthy notes. Animalic but smooth, like a quiet walk through a hazy forest

A very good perfume, leather animal and smoky notes, but above all it gives me a smell of green, wooded, of primeval nature.

Smokey oudy and little bit sweety. Not challenging at all unlike the cap. Lovely dark scent.

My personal favorite from the collectio, very smokey woody oudy scent. Yet very smooth and not harsh on the nose. Earthy oud not barn yardy.

At first, especially on fabric, like Cervelat skin. Smoky, salty, umami. On skin, very medicinal, woody. Bitter, dry and despite *

Despite the listed notes, it's a very wearable and light fragrance, with animalic and oud notes more in the background - I like it!
