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...
