Gathering Wilderness
Prin Lomros is quite well known here and his fragrances, which I was allowed to test so far, all had something. Some of them were still a bit unbalanced, others were thematically well realized. Anatolia is one example, which is not my profession because of its scents, but I can say that this fragrance was wonderfully realized. Now then Mriga, in German wild animal. A fragrance that seems to be dedicated to the musk animals of the Himalayas. Here a short note, there is no real musk included.
A scent of twilight is said to be mriga and so I am surprised about the implementation. At least right from the beginning it starts intensively with the scent of strict deer musk. Yes, it smells strict but at the same time sublime, I like to imagine the alpha animal here, how it looks from a high rock at the territory of its herd. So the even-toed ungulate roams through its territory, through the woods. From step to step with its herd, the musk becomes more digestible, less intense in its expressions, but also harsher and more resinous. It becomes clear that we are in a deep forest, the fir tree gives the fragrance balsamic elements, the juniper still smokes gently and distantly, but we are approaching it.
Dark spruces line up like a wall, we slowly zoom out, get a bird's eye view and leave our herd for a moment. The grass is sprouting everywhere in the forest, even vetiver can be seen which gives the scent its earthy aura, almost swampy. This is supported by the cypriol which supports the earthy note and adds a slight herbaceousness. At this point, the fragrance's calming, peaceful effect is to be commended, as it works with many ingredients that are already intense in themselves, but still succeeds in radiating calm in its effect.
The smell of burning juniper needles comes closer and closer, our journey continues. Here now a smoky, almost smoky-leathery scent emerges, which becomes stronger and pushes back the musk. The smouldering and the smoke become stronger, our deer approach the juniper, get intoxicated by the ethereal vapours, eat from the berries and let themselves drift. Now everything is shrouded in mist and we slowly leave the scene, following other deer whose path crosses wormwood. I think so, it has been there for a while but now its very special, light marijuana note comes out more. Much more dominant I notice now the costus root. This sweaty and anal, this aromatic and earthy one seems to glow a little bit as well, because the smoke of the costus root with its olfactory properties tells us about it.
Mriga as a tribute to the musk deer or the woods works by the contained artificial deer musk alone. This is underlined by the most different forest impacts, which are broadly diversified, just as the musk deer roams in the most different forests, even if one limits the place to the Himalaya. Juniper sometimes proves to be difficult and quickly too much, here it is wonderfully balanced and smells wonderfully glowing smoky.
It is difficult to put scents like this into words. Mriga is an animal journey through the woods, Prin Lomros tells us a story, which is not bright but not deep black either. So twilight might be true. Often we talk about the changeability of a fragrance and attest to it when it is only about changing nuances. Here not only fractions change, but the whole fragrance changes, and not just once. Mriga invites you to accompany the deer on their way and to dive into the fragrance. I gladly accompanied them.
By the way, thanks to my trusted prin-dealer AdAstra.
