Mustaschüla
“Musta” by Nakuna was the first scent that wandered into my nose, or rather, that I sprayed on my wrist, after I received my first “Wanderbrief” in almost ten years of Parfumo! A successful “debut”? Or (to put it exaggeratedly) the first and the last time? ;)

Nakuna fragrances have a unifying DNA, that much I can reveal already. Woody vanilla as a base is what I would call it. And “Musta” adorns this fluffy-herb “spine” with a leathery-smoky shell. An autumn scent, just as it should be. Myrrh galore - but without having to think directly of the nativity play. A pleasant and very creamy all-day wear. Well-behaved and somewhat generic. Due to the unmistakable base DNA, it feels a bit generic and rather monochromatic, brown, dull, almost quite boring. There’s no edge here. I am curious to see what the other Nakunas will extract from this seemingly unifying DNA. There’s more to be done. Must.

Bottle: chic, but uninspired
Sillage: quite subtly impressive
Longevity: 5 hours without honor rounds

Conclusion: creamy incense vanilla scent without memorability. Nice and solid. But there has to be more to it.

Balthasar, oh Balthasar
Balthasar, oh Balthasar,
Why do you offer so much incense?
From Casper comes much myrrh,
Fruity patchouli,
And there they are, already three.
Only Melchior the pig,
Instead of gold,
Packs tar into the leather pouch.

The opening is really intense,
But then it becomes a mega interesting scent.
For me, it's difficult to wear,
(One feels like in an esoteric shop)
But it's quite exciting to sniff.
And nothing metallic in the incense.

Frankincense goals. This is my go to for day and night. Very addictive and blending job is put of this world good. Musthave for incense fans

I was shopping on Teerstraße, with the big faux leather bag. Bought spices and caramel. Prayed briefly in the Catholic church.

Leather is barely noticeable, but the incense is prominent, the sweet earthy base comes through clearly. I expected more.

I thought the joke about incense, myrrh, and leather had been told often enough, but here it’s funny again with subtle leather.

For me, there was too much tar and incense in the leather. Unfortunately, it's not for me. I would have preferred more amber.

Soft incense meets slightly fruity myrrh. The leather is light, but not suede. Super wearable, almost lovely. A lucky find.

Frankincense combined with leather and tar. That's interesting and quite multifaceted. I like it a lot!

Great incense with pine. Subtle fruitiness adds depth and is surrounded by a hint of ink. Ends warm/sweet.

Tar (the) is great. It's subtle, yet it encompasses a wide range between softness and roughness. Rarely so balanced (...)
