I have a movie in mind. Pirates of the Caribbean with a female lead? Or something serious? Iris powder, bring it on! But please don’t shoot it down 😅

It has something very airy, almost delicate, despite the intense notes. I need to describe it better...

Iris is usually my thing, even if it has to be with gunpowder.

Well then - it's hardly sweet here, quite myrrh-bitter.

But in the end, the sky was full of dragons, the widow threw her two swords into the river and knelt down, murmuring: "The vixen seeks the dragon's wing."* That might be the myrrh-bitter aspect. After the amnesty comes a late career in opium smuggling (perhaps hinted at here by the Osmanthus wink and the iris powder). An interesting example of the successful reintegration of terrorists - their fleet was incorporated into the navy.
To dedicate a fragrance to the widow Ching, which apparently is also good - that's something. And the story is grand. I'm looking forward to your detailed review!

Great - thank you for the Borges reference!
Yes, in later years, Ching Shih diversified her business... (owning casinos, salt trade, and during the Opium Wars, she was an advisor to the local viceroy). And she made sure her crew members got jobs in the Royal Navy and could keep their share without penalties! That's something.

Well, I guess I'm not a pirate fleet captain. More like a romantic little boat in the Caribbean.

Translated · Show original

ElAttarine 4 months ago

This scent also has a little fruity-romantic osmanthus twist, but that's probably not really Caribbean...

Mineral bright gunpowder, bitter myrrh incense, fruity-leathery osmanthus, and iris powder are all present from the start and continuously shift, with one or the other coming to the forefront. Plus, a wealth of many fine other notes that I still need time to explore… More on that soon.
A great scent for the captain of the world's largest pirate fleet in the 19th century!
