Quickly decided
The medicinal tincture with which today's candidate opens inevitably reminds me of one or another Euphorium Brooklyn. Quieter, yes, but quite close in content. There’s also a hint of wood in the background.
Soon, however, the medicine retreats to the skin, and after barely a quarter of an hour, a very good and always welcome acquaintance greets me! The sweet honey smoke reminiscent of ‘03.Apr.1968’ by Rundholz, from Tom Ford's ‘Sahara Noir’, or, with some reservations, Norma Kamali's ‘Incense’ and ‘Calling all Angels’ by April Aromatics.
Initially, it only peeks cautiously around the corner, but its presence steadily grows, becoming omnipresent within the second hour. Richly sweet, yet full of character - and accompanied by a variety of woody and bitter-spicy components swirling around. And although I struggle with some of the claims made by the provider (“dry wine”, leather, moss?”), there is undoubtedly a (natural fragrance-typical) rich, complementary bouquet present, which brings me great joy. Nevertheless, the honey smoke remains at the center, and thus, similar to Ford, the abundance of descriptions can be slightly misleading. Only in the course of the afternoon does the sweet boss grant the colleagues a bit more space.
With the second paragraph, everything has essentially been said, as all those mentioned there occupy top spots in my personal fragrance cosmos.
And since I can't think of anything that would make ‘Sola Laudanum’ worse than the mentioned references, and because it is also a natural fragrance (which indeed sticks like real honey!), I’m giving it a quick ten.
I thank Fluxit for the sample.
