History gone bad...
Scent of History is the fifth and second-to-last fragrance I am testing from the Arquinesia sample set and so far - to get straight to the point - the worst. But let's take it step by step.

The scent starts off somewhat bright, spicy-woody, not really definable for me, somewhat diluted as well, I can't describe it exactly. After a while, a bit of oud comes through, and at that moment, the fragrance reminded me a little of "Eternal Wood | Mancera."

The Name Says It All
Scent of History describes it perfectly. The fragrance could represent a historical, rustic library or a museum. Frankincense, patchouli, and resinous notes make up the scent.
The price-performance ratio is also convincing. Just under 100 euros for 100ml I find absolutely reasonable.
Unfortunately, you can't just test the fragrance, aside from the discovery set.
However, anyone who is on vacation in Palma Mallorca or is traveling there should visit the Arquinesia perfumery. The most beautiful perfumery I have ever seen.

Intense earthy patchouli with leathery oud notes & green air. Modern slightly scratchy base. Not for me, but worth the good price.

old school, smells like my grandfather's alternative medicine practice or an artist's studio, just much more refined. The scent is amazing - not for the faint-hearted.

I've always found history boring - just like this scent: incense mist with oud on a patch bed, a bit of cardamom, woody in the dry down. Well.

Except for the "Fig | Arquinesia," I find a medicinal note in all the scents from this brand. This one is a pious medicine cow.

Very beautiful scent and unique in combination with the fig. I don't understand the low rating. Well-balanced and elegant.
