EO No 2 Parfum. This is one of the best smells, not perfumes, but smells ever for me. Curious how I never made a dedicated post about it. Granted, I have lost track of all the various iterations and such, I can only speak of the early versions that I own and am familiar with.

I still remember when this perfume came around and serious fragheads were dying to get their nose on a natural deer musk perfume. Many tried it and commented that they didn't get the musk whatsoever. I understand that. After years of being fed synthetic musk accords, or worse, white, aka "laundry" musks, our nose needs time to adjust to a natural musk bomb like No 2 is. Moreover, let's not forget that a significant percentage of the population is anosmic to musk and other similar compounds and aroma molecules. My experience with No 2 was much alike. I could not identify the musk on my first 2-3 wearings. But I learned the material in tincture form and some attars. Later, coming back to this, all I could smell was the Musk. Today, it feels so overwhelming, so upfront that I can't smell much of the other stuff in the fragrance.

EO 2 is the MUSK. It is an ode to this beautiful, rare, and misunderstood material that boasts tremendous complexity and pheromonal prowess. Everything in this composition plays along but never deters from the main player. Besides the musk, I get plenty of spices (especially cumin and coriander) and woody notes. The second version (2020 or so) does showcase a bit of rose and more up-front tea notes, but I feel that the OG and the Kashmir are pitch dark and butch cutting those "weak" links out. This perfume smells like bottled testosterone. If the Spartans used cologne you be damn sure they sprayed No 2 before charging in battle. This composition feels ultra-masculine and rough. Bone-dry, no sweetness, just a gallop of (slightly urinous) Siberian Musk that saturates a harmonious blend of savory spices and creamy woods. It doesn't get more "close-to-nature" than this. I never smelled anything remotely similar to it. Ever. I don't think there will ever be. Prin's Onthamara comes closest, but that one goes full death metal. This composition is a cultured and sophisticated beast that wages war and hunts during the day but reads and indulges in classical music and meditation during the evenings. It is a harmonious and well-rounded blend, not just a mindless brute.

You will always be unique to me, because you will probably never be the same again!!! (Interesting facts about EO)
Hello everyone,

i really thought about writing a review for this fragrance for a very long time, because it will be special and on the other hand I know that it will never generate the reach like others, for example...

But why do I do it?

I feel guilty somewhere about doing this to you, because the EO N°2 Pure Parfum deserves a certain amount of attention that others tend to receive and somewhere I feel this is unfair.

_______________

ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE:

Before I start, this is one of the most complex fragrances I have had the pleasure of getting to know and sometimes it starts and ends differently than before and in addition these insanely many faces / facets and chords.

In a few words, it is a rose - oud - musk fragrance with some resins and spices. It starts with a "slightly" animalic musk note, but that's really ok = I've experienced other things!
This serves as an accompaniment (so to speak), but after about 5 to 10 minutes it almost subsides and it is this complex "UNTIER" that I meant and it feels like it changes every 5 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less.

For me, 3 components are primarily noticeable, the resinous, the spicy and the woody = yes, the rose(s) are there, but they are more in the second row.

Bad?

No!
I had assumed in advance that it would be more prominent...

The fragrance has certain moments where it reminds me a little of my old companion, the Ottoman Empire Part II Extrait de Parfum it also has that warm, resinous quality - only without the very strong rose.

After 5h it becomes calmer and its silage noticeably decreases to 1m (bubble - area), but in my opinion it is already very prominent before that.

Its durability is MEGA and anything under 14h is not given here, rather significantly more and for that one can only say = RESPECT!
It's not quite my (!) scent, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it, because I do and I also note that there will probably never be anything like it again..., see below for why!
Briefly something general:

Over the last few years (months, years), I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of the EO company and the comparison between new and old is stark. I am NOT talking about the raw materials used, because they are EXCELLENT, then as now. What I have noticed is the following point = the slight change of EO...!
Until 2019/2020, the house was very creative, wicked, complex and treated fragrances like works of art with pronunciation - so you don't have to like them. I am NOT saying that the team behind EO is NOT this anymore, but from 2023/ 2024 you notice the commercial influence and the commercial thinking and I as a (among other things) businessman notice this.

- more frequent appearances
- better marketing than before
- more mass-compatible fragrances
- the old, very angular fragrances have been relaunched and made tamer
- etc.

I don't blame the company, why should I..., only this is the reason why I think that there will never be anything like EO N°2 Pure Parfum again...

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Silent Hill and the introversion
I can do what I want, but every time I spray this fragrance it takes me back to Silent Hill - in a positive sense. Most people should know Silent Hill, both the video game and the movie. Some of you would have to remember the gloomy sounds and the depressing music. Matching the music, you soon have the darkly designed area and the claustrophobic and creepy rooms in front of your eyes. All in all Silent Hill is known for its oppressive and gloomy atmosphere. But what does Silent Hill smell like? - That's what I really asked myself back then (I'm a fan of this series).

Music recommendation: Silent Hill 2 soundtrack

When spraying it on I immediately feel a breeze of green and spicy. Similarly, I imagine how I have to cross a dark forest to reach Silent Hill. Finally after 15-20 minutes I am already standing in the middle of the city. Thick fog hinders my view. I walk past decaying cars but can still smell the leather and oil in the car as if they had just been produced. I suddenly smell something slightly sweet and lively, but far and wide neither animal nor human. The mist, I call it the musk mist, manages to mix these scents together. Everything abandoned and empty, but it smells alive. The contrast is fascinating. I know that this fragrance cannot be alive, but still it gives me the impression of something warm and alive.

The fog (musk) fills every street and alley. Now I seek refuge in an abandoned hospital. I open the door and again I am met by lively smells. A little leather, warm skin, steaming earth and woody notes I can sniff with a single breath. Even though the hospital looks empty, mouldy, musty and abandoned for a long time, it seems as if life is pulsating here. Is there an in-between world? I wonder
I open every room and find that there's no one here. I suddenly hear little animals crawling and rustling - I can even smell them. A dark figure forms at the end of the corridor. If I did not imagine it, this being can now smell my fear: sweet, dark, dense and intense. I hurry outside and take another deep breath of the musk mist. Strange and yet so familiar. frightening, yet soothing and embracing. The sun hides behind the clouds and slowly it gets dark. After 8 hours of exploration (with a sprayer) in Silent Hill I cross the forest again before night falls. Only the sole of my shoe proves that I was there. Dirty and slightly fecal - I must have stepped on something.

I recommend this masterpiece to everyone who absolutely needs a new fragrance experience.
One could argue that No2 is not as complex as other Ensar Oud creations, but behind this dense, warm, leathery, woody musk composition hides something very vibrant and lively. It's a very introverted fragrance that invites you to cuddle up, but still grabs you, stimulates, inspires and makes you fantasize. While I think of Silent Hill, someone might associate it with a Lord of the Rings movie night.

After 15 minutes of top note, the heart note follows with an impressive persistence, and always with the enveloping and embracing musk. Very full-bodied (thanks to the musk tincture, instead of ethanol) and dense without becoming obtrusive. The base is slightly reminiscent of dry coffee grounds, don't worry it doesn't smell unpleasant.
It can be worn, in the right dosage, anywhere. But it's far too good for that. All in all, a very noble fragrance. But also very introverted, like Silent Hill. A journey into his darkest self, a confrontation between something living and something dead.

A bottle that will definitely enhance and revolutionize any collection. Somehow half my collection doesn't make sense anymore...
