Return to the living incense
Background: Perfumos send me samples, I then test the perfumes sent without any knowledge and describe my response - that of an inexperienced dilettante.

Imagine you are surrounded by incense. You have no chance of escaping its animalistic claws and from now on it will always be with you. In front of you, behind you, next to you, wherever you run... It's already there, oozing out of every bottle and mercilessly misting around you as if it's trying to drive away the Incarnate One himself.
Ok, I'm exaggerating a little. But the incense present here really does twist my mind. Frankincense is not just frankincense, there are brands such as "Sauna", "Soldering Grease", "Eau de Pipi Miaou", "Gothic", "Yoga" and "Fruit". But the little fruit here really let the beast out in the opening. Fir balsam could still be in there. Fortunately, it later becomes milder and sweeter (honey or vanilla?) until, in the act of drying down, it becomes a spicy, pithy melange from the joyful, resinous jungle of Germania. Somehow I can hardly imagine it on a woman, unless she occasionally strangles unfriendly gentlemen with her braids, like the animalistic Princess Swawa of Denmark. But maybe I don't have enough imagination! And the opinion of the ducal expert (5)?
Thumbs down without a word! What a scathing verdict from the beetle-crunching blonde from the Saxon undergrowth for such a high-quality perfume. In my opinion, wrongly so, as it has a rustic, archaic charm.

Tiger's Nest
Tiger's Nest is surely one of the best interpretations of incense that I have been able to try.
As you can imagine, incense is the main ingredient in this composition, but what really makes it special are its travel companions.
In the first minutes, the absinthe and a subtle touch of citrus impel creation. Once that initial 'punch' goes down, floral nuances dance with the incense, always in the background but present. These floral tones (I insist that they are very very subtle) give the composition a more cheerful point.
The final phase becomes the most interesting for me. Up to this point, incense has not yet been domesticated, but with the arrival of amber, resins and a touch of vanilla, it begins to lose some of its prominence to create a warm and extremely pleasant end of evolution.
Sublime fragrance of incense and amber that I am sure lovers of the genre will love.

Good morning Viet Nam!
A dusty smog cloud of heat lays over the market. There are all kinds of shops selling fruits, meat and animals. The mixture of all different smells combine and find their way into your nose.

For those of you, who had the luck to experience a trip the Far East will exactly know what I mean. Its this undescribeable smell of spices, animals, motorcycles and huge masses of people that were caught and put into this bottle!

The history of Memo is giving you the needed additional information here. A journalist couple who brought there experiences and smells from all over the world into fragrances.

For me its a time capsule. Each time I smell this beautiful scent, I am stand right in the middle of this market and seeing all the people rushing around feeling the vibe of the moment.

A true masterpiece!

smoky echo after party in tiger cave
After meeting in the hippie store for a glass of absinthe, things got a bit out of hand. A battlefield of incense sticks torched in a bet, intoxicatingly excessive togetherness, probably dancing to the Doors. Alternating time-lapse and slow-motion, colorful reflections of the disco ball sometimes dazzling. In between, there had also been a tiger. He lounged next to the belly dancer on an oriental carpet and lasciviously sharpened his claws. At some point, everyone wanted to scrub the tiger together and fill a tub with floral foam. Of it the skin has become then also cuddly soft.... and then they had a great time snoozing in the cuddly amber cushions. The next morning light spice dusts in the nose remind of the wild night.
____________________________________________________________

Tiger's Nest opens with a bulky, scratchy absinthe incense upbeat, which, reinforced by the aldehydes, creates the impression of wildly exploding incense sticks. Not gentle and relaxing, but alert, wild and hallucinogenic. Along with the saffron, there is also something animalic in the scratchiness - untamed, a bit like rough fur. As it progresses, there is an almost soapy impression, probably due to the animalic florals wrestling wildly with the incense. Here, fortunately, the rose does not push itself into the foreground with me, but it lets the fur seem a bit cleaner in the interplay with osmanthus and YlangYlang.
The incense-soap impression then lasts for quite a while, until the softer notes join almost placating and appease the tiger. At some point the scent quiets down a bit, amber, vanilla and tolu balsam take over, it becomes spicy-balsamic, not too sweet. Dry later (papyrus). Peaceful.

Tiger's Nest I find quite appropriate as a name for the fragrance. In the tiger's den was neatly celebrated and rolled, all overgrown by indolic flowers. Exciting. Intensive. I like it very much. Whether he moves in with me, I do not know yet. He makes with me already neat Radau.

(love thanks to Susan for the test possibility)

Incense and balm
A really beautiful fragrance. I like every phase. The massive scratchy absinthe incense prelude, to the beautiful balsamic drydown.I like it here especially well. The scent is very incense-heavy at first whiff, which lasts and should be liked. Vanilla amber with meditative dominant tolu balsam soon mix in, rounding off the incense and softening it. Exactly these two phases has the fragrance on me.

A powerful but still somehow a cuddly scent that I wear for me for meditative well-being.
