Sailing trip for experienced sailors
I owe it to dear Cenno that I got to know this fragrance.
I have now owned this extraordinary composition for a while in order to put my impressions down on paper.
It wasn't easy to get started, but I was immediately gripped by the bulky aquatic basic theme.
Shawn Maher, an extremely nice scent wizard from St. Louis in Missouri, knows how to convince in his own way. If you like, you are welcome to watch his channel on YouTube.
Fragrant and likeable!
This chypre is like no other fragrance.
It tells of sea voyages, exotic impressions and physical passion.
I understood it straight away. Experiences have been captured here.
Sizzle!
An extremely pungent citrusy opening clears the lungs almost like horseradish.
Merciless kaffir lime leaf, tart and spicy in its dark green genus, joins blazing elemi resin in the yellow-green round dance of bergamot.
Be vigilant sailor!
Watch the color of the sky!
A chlorinated note, of all things, provides the twistedly sweet transition to the fruity heart of the composition.
As if you were breaking in your Topsiders, those boat shoes so popular on the other side of the Atlantic, brand new and putting on the synthetic life jackets as a precaution in heavy swell.
Slowly, the rough sea calms down and the flowers gently make their entrance.
The dreamed-of bay offers Caribbean protection, yet remains sober and unadorned in color.
The vests can be discarded.
Davana exudes diverse fruit impressions in the midst of the ylang sun.
The slow blossoming of tanned skin.
Here you can set the anchor.
Mangroves?
Reeds near the sea?
Vetiver conjures up both!
And then the enticing skin, slightly sweaty from wearing the vest and seductively spicy from the salty air.
Physical jasmine and leathery labdanum can't help but surrender.
And it is discreetly beautiful on the chypre base with good oakmoss and cedar of sail.
Feelings like collages.
Sometimes exotically fruity, almost fermented, sometimes yellow-floral.
Elemi resin cannot be tamed and fans the bluish bright fire.
Salty, spicy skin quivers all the way to the mangroves, where fresh water finds its way to the sea.
And that very sea changes from sweet to bitter, quite bitter and not without danger.
Not an easy sailing trip, especially not for the inexperienced who expect postcard idylls.
Here, the tart, bitter shade of the fragrance is a reminder to remain realistic, alert and adventurous.
The floral and fruity breezes will be all the more rewarding.
Swimmers will be thrilled at the latest after surfacing or conquering the chlorinated maelstrom of the water vortex.
The passion of the water, the spiciness of the skin.
You can't send all this as a postcard.
