The Sermon on the Mount

In the light of Vedanta".

If you go to Mallo's website, you will see a summit as a portrait of ARC. This booklet came to my mind because it interestingly combines European and Indian culture. It reflects the view of an Indian scholar on the Sermon on the Mount.
Two cultures have also combined to create the fragrance. A probably stands for Antonio and R for Rajesh. The latter describes ARC as his seventh perfume, which brings us back to the number of completion.
Rajesh is therefore likely to have had a major influence on the composition and ingredients, as quite a few of them come from his home country of "India".

Now to the perfume itself. The fragrance starts brute! (40%) .... Brutal herbs! I can well understand the association of the previous speakers with sauna infusions.
Slowly a sweetness is added, lavender - jasmine - benzoin. The herbs reach far in and the fragrance remains powerful. Gradually it becomes more and more herbaceous, sweeter and fresher. In the drydown, it almost seems like a lemon spice cake, which is probably due to the increasingly strong cypriol.
I was a bit taken aback by the fragrance at first, but now I think it's great! In the sense that it's a real fougere and I don't normally care much for the subject.

The fragrance is very natural and anything but ordinary.

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

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

"One day during harvest time, HE invited us and His
other friends to go on a trip to the mountains. The earth was fragrant; it displayed all its jewels like a king's daughter at her wedding. And
the sky was her bridegroom
When we had reached a hill, HE stopped in a laurel grove and said: Rest here,
relax your minds and open your hearts, for I
have much to say to you we lay down on the grass, surrounded by the summer flowers that grew on it,
and HE sat in our midst."

Khalil Gibran
