Pulupa Ecuación Natur(a)l 2020
1
In the Spanish sauna, chamomile is farted
Thanks to a free sample, I had the pleasure of testing this fragrance. I had neither heard the name of the scent nor the house before, so I was very curious about what awaited me. The first look naturally goes to the fragrance notes. Okay, the rating fits, the notes look promising, even though the orange blossom holds me back a bit. But it's there, so it will be tested.
Pulupa captures the theme of sauna scents quite well on my skin. It opens with a decent shot of citrus, which quickly recedes and makes way for other notes. I can perceive the listed bergamot for about an hour. Soon, something woody and slightly smoky emerges. I would attribute this to the Palo Santo, which is said to have similarities to myrrh. Additionally, a certain green note comes into play, which logically can only come from the orange blossom and does not seem disturbing to my nose at first.
Everything wafts along with these humid sauna vibes and a certain warmth. However, at a certain point, there was a real cut. The sauna vibes faded into the background, and something resinous was perceived very strongly. Unfortunately, the orange blossom made a return at this threshold, bringing with it a very unpleasant smell that did not agree with my nose. With the still humid background, everything felt very much like chamomile. Really harsh like chamomile tea, where the tea bag was forgotten in the glass and it just stood lukewarm in the sun.
A note that seemed to grow stronger by the minute and left me completely perplexed. So extreme that I could hardly bear the scent on my skin and repeatedly tried to free certain areas from the fragrance.
So I can say for myself that only the first hour was quite pleasant and I actually liked it; after that, it transformed into an Armageddon like no other.
The sillage and longevity are, due to the notes that did not agree with my nose, too good. Especially after an hour, the scent literally explodes on the skin and radiates extremely, something I have never experienced with a fragrance after a certain wear time. Everything gets pushed again. The longevity easily exceeds eight hours, as I could still perceive the scent on my skin the next day.
Thus, the conclusion is not as positive as it initially seemed.
