A lot of incense for nothing...? Ehh I mean, for clary sage
Even though I don't really like this fragrance, I think it deserves a review.
The scent of incense & clary sage is very much to the fore. It's a very interesting combination that is both smoky, animalic, herbaceous and fruity. Floral facets, aromatic scents. Rum. Ginger. Black tea. My nose detects these notes, which are extremely interesting.
Although these really interesting, invigorating accents are repeatedly displaced by the incense.
The persistence and sillage are very strong. Exceptionally strong. Of course, the fragrance oil content of over 50% speaks for itself. However, I find the concentration with these ingredients too penetrating. I like strong fragrances very much, but there is something about this fragrance that I find intrusive.
After a few hours, there is a surprising twist. Incense fades, finally, and a really pleasant, warm dry down emerges. Caramel and cocoa combined with something animalic. I feel good. To sum up, I have to say that my nose is simply overwhelmed by this fragrance. It is certainly a very high-quality fragrance, but the high concentration of incense detracts greatly from it. I just don't know what to make of it. I need time.

The familiar strangeness
I don't often write reviews, as statements have become my familiar territory - but I just have to do it here. This fragrance deserves it!

Some time ago, I heard about an Italian fragrance house called "Les Folies". I thought nothing of it and organized myself samples of all the fragrances - at a "Nemea" stand.
And that's when everything took its course ...

The fragrance ...
I have never smelled anything so exciting, complex and deep. Dark, mysterious, sweet, tart, fruity, complex, sweet, smoky, full-bodied, incredibly long-lasting, heavy ... the fragrance really has it all and WITHOUT being too penetrating, intrusive or annoying. Insane! Almost no one has ever achieved anything like it.

The hot question ... how can you imagine the fragrance? I have to say: definitely test it on your skin! But for the bookworms, please ...

Opening: The fragrance opens with a slightly sweet, fruity note. This recedes significantly after a few minutes, but leaves a subtle trace in the background. You can tell it's there, but watching from further back and observing the fun to come.

Progression: After just a few minutes, a tart woody note with smoky nuances clearly joins in, also accompanied by lovingly interwoven sweetness. The exciting teenage note is now also present and will stay with us for some time.

After about 30 minutes it becomes cozy and warm, you feel comfortable ... between tea incense and the very well-balanced sweetness, which is never too much. A woody base resonates in the background, but without any animalism or other "cowshed". It is strongly reminiscent of high-quality wood that has been freshly cut and is now drying on the skin.

After around four to five hours, you notice how it becomes increasingly balsamic, spicy and tangy. The sweetness recedes considerably and the fragrance transitions from a warm sweetness to a lively freshness. Here, the tea notes, coupled with the fresh ginger, come into their own and invite you to come back to life together with the radiant sun.

If I could visualize it: A relaxed, dark and rainy Sunday, I'm sitting in front of the fireplace, watching the fire and the smoke and enjoying sweets with a glass of tea. I feel cozy and warm and fall asleep peacefully without a guilty conscience. After a while, I'm woken up suddenly because the sun is shining outside and the world is full of joy.

Towards the end, it becomes sweet, warm and cozy again. The sun slowly sets and says goodbye, leaving us with a pleasant campfire, fresh wood and a rewarding glass of rum and cocoa. Important: it never becomes alcoholic (due to the rum) or too sweet.

----

So to the fragrance, now to the rest. The fragrance comes with a very pretty and almost high-quality wooden box. The cap is magnetic, but made of cheap plastic. The glass is decorated with a frog - you can only see it from very close up. But it looks quite chic to me.

The price is often a big point of criticism for me. You can tell how much effort has been put into this fragrance. Super complex, but you clearly recognize many notes and long for a second round in the course, which you get! The initial sweetness can also be found at the end.
Everything is super balanced and simply perfectly coordinated. I've rarely experienced anything like it.

A little over 400€, hmm, does it have to be? I find that you will never use up a full bottle. The fragrance captivates you with its 50% fragrance oil content and stays happily on your skin even after 18 hours - no need to spray it again! If you have the chance, buy a remaining bottle of approx. 25 ml.

Here's to a good fragrance journey!
