A milky solo performance by cedarwood. The dampness of weed and the warmth of amber paint a picture of a secret hidden deep within the forest.

In a word, it's the scent of meticulously crafted cedarwood.

The top notes are a refreshing yet intellectual start, with the lightness of bergamot layered with the warmth of nutmeg. However, the "core" of this perfume immediately emerges from beneath: the luxuriously layered texture of cedarwood. The incredibly smooth and creamy wood possesses a "moisture" that seems to breathe, as if the forest itself were breathing.

Why is it so milky and fresh? Because the green, damp scent of the weed accord plays a role, and the subtle animalic amber layered on top creates a mystical quality that transcends a simple forest scent.

This fragrance, completed by the harmony of creamy cedarwood (forest) and animalic amber (deep darkness), truly represents a sacred place that no one can enter.

A dual fragrance

“Love with you is a full moon at midnight.”
How much does a full, round moon in the dark sky attract us?
Hierba Nera is a dual fragrance: dark yet luminous at the same time. It features a green and herbaceous note, slightly bitter, brightened and softened by citrus nuances and soft woods that make it incredibly appealing. Personally, I can also feel the molecular aspect on my skin, which I can't deny attracts me a lot.
Wearable in any occasion, seemingly more masculine, but very wearable by a woman with a strong character who wants something that leaves a mark. I really liked it; I would wear it in autumn/winter.

No cannabis and no oomph

Lately, I’ve tried to be very conscious and intentional with my fragrance sample purchases, usually spending months researching what I want to try before placing an order. I slipped up with this one, though - it was a last-minute add-on to an order, prompted only by seeing that it contained frankincense (a note I’m currently exploring in depth) and cannabis, which intrigued me.

Unfortunately, Hierba Nera misses the mark for me.

For starters, this fragrance is barely detectable. The projection is actually shockingly terrible given the price. I have a very sensitive nose, yet even after spraying 4 times as much as I would normally use when testing a fragrance, I still have to put my nose right up to my arm, or wave my arm around within 10cm of my face, to smell anything. Yet, it overstayed its welcome as a skin scent, still detectable after 10 hours.

In the opening there’s a burst of fresh vegetal greenness alongside lemony citrus and a slightly black-peppery aroma. Maybe the green note is supposed to be cannabis, but this smells more like fennel or celery to me. I know cannabis aroma comes in many forms but as someone familiar with the plant, this didn’t resemble any of them, rather falling into the category of “soup ingredients”.

A pleasant but weak frankincense develops over a woody base as the scent warms up. Unfortunately, natural cedarwood oil, which smells like what is being used here, can disagree with my nostrils, and here it has a bit of that dill pickle-ish quality I get from sandalwood.

Ultimately, the only part of this I really enjoy is the late drydown, which is just a faint musky woody amber that is nice, but too little, too late, too weak.

If you enjoy this kind of woody-citrus-incense scent profile, you might like At Night We Dance. I don’t love that fragrance either, so I think this scent profile just doesn’t work on me, but ANWD has some similarities while being, IMO, more interesting and probably better performing.

A bizarre one

Of the many perfumes I've had the opportunity to test, this is one of the most unconventional fragrances. It took me a while to get down to it and write as honest an opinion as possible, as it is a very 'fluid' fragrance - I changed my mind about it quite often.
The nose behind this fragrance is the renowned Italian perfumer Luca Maffei. Therefore, you can only expect something extremely original.

The fragrance, despite its Italian origin, for my nose delivers the atmosphere of the old Russian empire and power under the tsars, in the best sense of these words. It is very refined and luxurious, appealing to really few.

The bottle in which this interesting blend is encased is truly amazing. Those absolutely divine gold embellishments leave nothing to be desired, giving the impression of a richly decorated italian- russian theatre. And that's how this scent actually smell on the whole.

The combination of spices, herbs and citrus creates an imitation of a very well-kept garden in a beautiful sunny location. It's not fruity at all though. The most interesting thing here is definitely the eponymous 'niera'-the cannabis. It gives everything else a sense of bottomless depth that excites us to the limit. The rest of the notes, despite the fact that they mix quite a bit with no discernible individual ones, form a beautiful base. They provide that dry wood and warm amber, making it quite warm in the end.

The fragrance is very sexy and sensual, but it is important to bear in mind that in its originality it may not appeal to everyone, certainly no more to 'regular' noses. It is a niche fragrance for a reason. It's not strong but more of a skin scent, better for the colder days of autumn and winter, in special cases cool spring evenings. It's not long-lasting for EDP and sillage is quite poor. It also can get tiring so be cautious. Overall, as I mentioned it's a quite unconventional fragrance and its high price is off-putting, but still worth a sample.
