Bomb Fougere

Hold on, Fougere lovers... this one's a blast!!!
I smell notes of spices and green herbs in the background, but Lavender-Pine-Oakmoss over all, 100% natural, 40% concentration... a bomb! Two sprays and you feel it all day long.
Antonio and Rajesh did a great job together. The classic Mallo brand bottle is also beautiful.
Beautiful!

The Sermon on the Mount

In the light of Vedanta".

Whoever embarks on the side of Mallo sees a peak as a portrait of ARC. This little book came to my mind, as it interestingly connects European and Indian culture. It reflects the perspective of an Indian scholar on the Sermon on the Mount.
The creation of the fragrance also involved a fusion of two cultures. A is likely for Antonio and R consequently for Rajesh. The latter refers to ARC as his seventh perfume, bringing us back to the number of completion.
Rajesh must have had a significant influence on the composition and ingredients, as many come from his homeland "India."

Now to the perfume itself. The scent starts off with a bang! (40%) .... Brutal herbs! I can fully understand the association of my predecessors regarding sauna infusion.
Slowly, a sweetness emerges, lavender - jasmine - benzoin. The herbs reach deep within, and the scent remains powerful. Gradually, it becomes increasingly herbally sweet and fresh. In the drydown, it almost resembles a lemon spice cake, which is likely due to the intensifying cypriol.
At first, I was somewhat overwhelmed by the scent, but now I find it fantastic! Especially in the sense that it is a true fougère, and I usually don’t care much for the theme.

The scent feels very natural and is anything but ordinary.

What makes it so special is the fusion of the two perfumers. Rajesh, who consciously selected the ingredients from his homeland and set the theme, and Antonio, who skillfully balanced and intertwined them.

There is a lot of love behind this fragrance, and you can smell it.

"On a day during the harvest season, HE invited us and His
other friends to take a trip into the mountains. The earth was fragrant; it displayed all its jewels like a princess at her wedding. And
the sky was her groom.
When we reached a hilltop, HE stopped in a grove of laurel and said: Rest here,
relax your mind and open your hearts, for I
have much to say to you. We lay in the grass, surrounded by the summer flowers that grew there, and HE sat in our midst."

Khalil Gibran
