The silence of the Papuan jungle
As the comment from Maggy4U says, it is a fragrance for meditation, but here I would like to talk a bit more about the fragrance composition and the experience. The history of the fragrance I have not read through, so that my own opinion is not influenced by it.
The ingredients Peter has chosen are all very high quality and many of these I know/own in their original form. However, what has been created here is a very different story, with you only recognising the individual facets of the ouds used (if you know them). This fragrance is about representing the full spectrum of oud (at least from my perspective). The other ingredients like rose, fir balsam, etc. are meant as additives to expand and deepen the many aspects of the ouds.
For me, it's mostly about the representation of the Papuan rainforest. In fact, it feels like time travel. You are removed from civilization and transported into the heart of the green, wet jungle. This place is not yet known to mankind. You smell the green leaves and the moist earth. You feel the texture of the tree bark, which releases its woody aromas when you touch it. The warm wind carries with it a thin, resinous-sweet incense that surrounds the scent like a veil. The flowers are somewhere in the distance. From time to time you can notice their faint whisper, but only if you listen closely. There's not much development here. The main image appears after just a few minutes and remains almost unchanged until it is just a gentle reminder of the place on your skin.
Shambho is not loud. It is not a 'sillage beast'. It is a fragrance for special moments. Due to the fact that it is made from natural ingredients, its longevity is not above average either. But it is nevertheless a pleasure in every sense!
Many thanks to Caligari for the test opportunity! I have made a right purchase decision after all! ;-)
