Shine A Light In The Woods
I've actually wanted to buy an Axel Rudi Pell album for a long time. However, I'm not sure which one it should be. I would be grateful for any useful tips.
You don't have to give ARP any tips yourself when it comes to its fragrances. With Shine, I have now tested the third of his releases. All three are really well created, even if they are noticeably supported by synthetics. In my opinion, however, this is just as legitimate as the use of synthesizers in hard rock or heavy metal - as long as it fits in appropriately.
Shine is quite woody with nagarmotha (nutgrass root), cedarwood and woody notes plus the coniferous impressions. I also detect nuances that could just as easily be light Somali incense. However, ISO-E-Super dominates most intensely as an amplifier. This makes Shine seem quite spherical and fluffy, but still serious. Personally, I could almost lose myself in it a little, but I am aware that it may come across as too sharp and too synthetic for some people.
On the Axel Rudi Pell website, where all three Knights Fragrances fragrances are explained and offered, it says something about Shine about "slightly fruity wood on an iris base. I can confirm that it's light and woody, but I don't think it's fruity, and I imagine an iris base to be a little different. But that's no drama overall, because Shine definitely delivers a mystical rock attitude - and that was probably the actual intention.
