Notes from Underground Ensar Oud Eau de Parfum

The fog enveloped us tightly from all sides and we walked in silence. Just moments ago, our minds had been sharp, the forest as fragrant as rosemary, but now a veil fell between the trees, like earthy weavings from the crowns, dark brown herbal pearls began to inhabit the air. Now one must not stray from the path.
Then, a soft song broke through the fog, tender, lamenting tones, so wondrous, intoxicating blossoms, gentle and pure over warm, enticing trails. They whispered of sweet daffodils, the fresh flesh of tuberoses, and the lotus scent of the innocent. We stepped a few paces off the path, how mysterious the forest appeared to us here, how bright and bitter with camphor and herbs, lights buzzed above the earth in the damp brown smoke, the breath of spirits, we groped our way along decaying bark, the sky was waxy brown tobacco leaves and the moon was a veil of vanilla. Their song rang out for a long time, the scent lured me again and again, yet you held me fast by my strap, which smelled of soft leather.

"Notes from Underground" is an unusually brown-spicy Ensar that begins with sharp green notes (pepper, rosemary), the rosemary evokes slight forest associations and quickly merges with the Vietnamese oud, which also seems to open with spicy-camphor notes, unfolding in the scent progression into smoky, herbal, earthy, and leathery nuances. In the heart, clear, pure lotus flowers, sweet daffodils, and fleshy, slightly chewy tuberoses emerge, increasingly disappearing behind a warm veil of soft, slightly animalistic musk, bright tobacco, beeswax, and dark vanilla, while the oud becomes increasingly dominant. The Song of the Underground seduces in moderate tones for a good eight hours.
