Loup Prin 2023

Why do you hide your fur in the cold? Scatter your glances in the nails of the clove. When I know that you are different. And you fall backwards and then sway forward in the green glow of your long mane. Smoldering, balsamic resins burst into veils of your earth-colored eyes. I follow the trail of a salty tear, drunk from the pearls of every pore of your wild skin of flesh and bloom. Why do you roll your Siam silk dress in hay and rotten bark? When your leather dries like tobacco leaves and amber pulses in every vein.

Even though "Loup" certainly bears typical features of Prince Lomros' signature, bucolic images of Thai animal farms from animal leather, sweaty cumin, rotten Thai oud chips, dry tobacco, spicy spices, and hay, this time it is the fossil Himalayan amber that gives this composition a different, distinctly balsamic direction.
First, however, it is cool-ethereal camphor that opens with sharp, green glowing clove, as if one were looking into the eyes of a wolf, which soon ambers the clove smoky (pepper, oud) salty-amber colored (amber). As the wolf approaches, one can discern leathery-animal notes (castoreum, oud), sweaty skin (cumin), balanced with earthy-balsamic aromas (labdanum, patchouli, oud), jasmine shimmers subtly indolic, silky-fleshy within, before in the base dry tobacco, smoky-mulchy barks (oud) and spicy hay embedded in sweet woods (amyris, gurjun balsam) and resins (medicinal benzoin, fossil amber) become more pronounced. The above-average long-lasting encounter with the wolf is intensely to moderately perceivable.
