Danse Macabre - Fur like a specimen
The imagery in my mind is related to the artistic theme of "Danse Macabre," which was popular during the Dark Ages of the medieval period—a time marked by war, famine, and disease.
Skulls, whether playing the violin or holding drumsticks, dance with the living by the graveside.

The overall tone is an orange-brown hue, featuring dry, fruit-dried, spicy, and resinous warm notes. It’s unclear whether this was intentional or a happy accident, but the specimen-like fur quality adds a touch of brilliance to this theme.
Upon first spray, there’s a sweet apricot and tangy citrus scent, with the powdery quality of the apricot smoothly transitioning into a similarly powdery incense and resinous spice aroma.

After 1 minute, the animalic note is most prominent, with a slight sour and decayed feeling; but this quickly settles into a dry, specimen-like fur scent.
After 5 minutes, the fruity sweetness persists, with rose notes buried underneath, enhancing the fruitiness; the olive resin’s citrus-spicy aspect gives the fragrance a lemon-like freshness and spiciness.

At 15 minutes, there’s a subtle alcohol-like scent reminiscent of orange liqueur, robust yet smooth, with tannic astringency and a sour bread-like acidity.
The fruitiness shifts to a dried fruit sweetness, akin to a drink with hints of orange peel and apricot dried fruit; there’s also a faint effervescent quality similar to lemon fizz tablets.
After 60 minutes, the dried fruit scent gradually fades, giving way to a dry, intense spiciness—pepper, cumin, and cinnamon leaf—with a slight smokiness from the resin, adding richness to the layers. The animalic scent can still occasionally be detected, as if it’s lurking behind, observing you.

After 2 hours, there’s a waxy feeling, but the warm, resinous notes continue to spread on the skin.

Noticeable Passion
Memento Mori; being aware of one's own mortality. In the sense of fragrances, perhaps also how quickly a popular scent or brand can fade away, although that is not the intention of this work. OM Parfum from Taiwan certainly creates scents with depth. They can represent places, something like the seven deadly sins, or a source of inspiration from film. Memento Mori, in any case, is roughly rooted in the film The Witch; for Aichi, the force behind the label, the moral of the film can be interpreted as allowing dark forces to prevail or transforming them into positive energy.

Somalian frankincense. When a perfume contains Somalian frankincense and proclaims this olfactorily, practically nailing a confession to doors, then it is Memento Mori. Intense, finely crafted, spicy, with a hint of ginger, along with myrrh, which is also very noticeable. It participates in the scent with its well-known balsamic-sweet note. Cool gray transforms into ginger-sharp colors, then sepia painting.

Orange flashes in the scenery, alcoholic traces, solitary woods in light-drenched, positive, stoic monotony. A snapshot, perhaps more of a feeling, a single extraction. Just as the feeling of channeling the negative into positive energy, Memento Mori also walks this path. The Peru balsam, generally the myrrh, the balsamic-spicy nuances increase, gaining strength. Behind it, dense frankincense, evoked turibulum. In this throng behind, like the spirits in Wotan's wild hunt, the ingredient extras drift through the perfume, providing depth and complexity to the scent. Here we linger now.

OM Parfum is currently one of the most exciting brands in the artisan niche for me. Not only do they obviously invest time in the design of their bottles - others offer the cheapest, generic goods here - no, they evoke impressions, construct backgrounds, tell stories that breathe life and soul into a fragrance. Yes, some of their works are not to my taste, but that does not matter to me if the rest is right and especially if the development, the progression in passion is evident. I appreciate that more than the thirtieth blend of already existing, singular scents. Regardless of whether these smell of higher quality. Perfume is our passion. Passion. The olfactory is OM Parfum.

On my skin, the opening consists of citrus and incense notes. The freshness quickly fades and the main player becomes more prominent.
