Autumn in the most authentic plum cinnamon garb
What a beautiful fragrance! For a long time I have not dared da ran, had me the Arabesque unfortunately not at all like me.
But this one, a dream:

"The plum comes in the opening,
slightly tipsy and smoky-woody
never too much, a bit of children's punch and dry wood, quite wonderful in the day, no headache, as never too strong!
The notes dance all,
with the plum in cinnamon garb.
All around it goes on and on,
Punch, vanilla and a little sweetness,
Dance with me, come dance with me!"

The scent is wonderful! The plum is authentic and never too sweet! The alcoholic note is present, but very balanced used, so that the fragrance never slips into the masculine rum barrel!
The slightly sweet vanilla is also very nice, never too much and perfectly dosed to the plum note.
"Dance with me" this is the fragrance. Light and not at all dense and heavy it is!

So a fragrance must be for me, so that I like the plum in it!

And the brand lives up to its name! The scent of wood resonates uniquely and is perfectly captured like all parts of the fragrance pyramid!

The durability is top! In low dosage already the whole day for me to perceive and even in the evening he still pleases - noticeably sweeter, but still very nice, I like it when a fragrance says goodbye with sweet greeting.

The name has deterred me longer, because I was worried that the plum would be drowned in cognac- that is not so!

For me, only applicable in the autumn / winter months, but there necessarily!
Is one the Arabesque too strong / dense, like to try this great cinnamon plum poem ;-)

Beauty or the Beast...just wait and see!
I bought Plum in Cognac (or now also Prunier en Cognac) from Scents of Wood blindfolded because of the delicious descriptions here on Parfumo. It also has a 2021 award, which must mean something ;-)

Uiuiui, the heart muscle-shaped bottle alone, in the dark packaging with the wooden label on it, is a feast for the eyes.
Joyfully (contrary to my habit of smelling the paper and the bottle first), straight onto my arm....

First thought: awwww, phhuu it's very alcoholic. And not in the good, liqueur-like way, but more like ethanol for cleaning. Could also be something medical, e.g. chloroform. Do you want to anaesthetize the user?

Ok, second sniffer: Eieiei, this blind purchase was very expensive fun...now it smells like a glued wooden pallet in the wood department at OBI, on which cleaning gasoline has just been poured.

Tough luck. Off to the bathroom to wash the stuff off.
Nevertheless, one more try on paper and clothes and then out into the fresh air... Think about how differently scents are perceived...

Back home, jacket off...hmm, but what is that? Is that a sample that smells so good? Could it be that HE is showing himself after all?

Now I can also smell the fine plum, the soothing balsam, the cozy vanilla, the rustic wood, a little hint of cinnamon...something good, something I've never smelled before, resonates with every movement of my arm.

The song from Beauty and the Beast "Who would have thought it" immediately comes to mind.
I have included part of the lyric here for you.
BELLE:
He is so nice
And almost fine,
But he was rude
And he was bad
And very mean.
Now he is sweet,
Quite shy even,
He has something that
Certainly wasn't like that before.

BIEST:
She looks here,
What is this? For she is afraid
Of my paw
Not a trace.
It can't be,
Is it strange,
She looked at me,
As it was before
Certainly never been like this.

BELLE:
Now I look
All astonished,
Who would ever have thought
That this would happen?
How can he
be so charming? Be so charming?
There is something in him,
That I didn't see before
Didn't see like that before.

Here is the short version and my conclusion:
This fragrance needs time to become beautiful! After 2 hours you will be rewarded. But it also lasts 24 hours. Wood and vanilla remain on the skin for a long time.
Very good if you like wood.
Nevertheless, my tip: only walk through the spray mist, not directly onto the skin.

The real trick of this perfume is probably to make others happy! Because the aura/sillage is truly enchanting and especially fascinating.

When the beast turns out to be a prince...

Well balanced plum gourmand
Warm, resinous peru balsam mixed with freshly muddled plums, a splash of rum, and a healthy dusting of cinnamon. The osmanthus gives it a floral touch, the base a very dry, brushy woods. Thick and syrupy with a nice balance of sweetness, astringency, and spice. Sadly, the drydown is mostly just woods with a touch of remaining warm spice as the plums and rum fade away. Moderate projection for 2-3hr, longevity 8-10hr.

I get Herod's tobacco note quite strongly, so they smell nothing alike to me. The plum makes it dissimilar to Angels' Share beyond both being boozy cinnamon scents at their core. Yes, the juice is a very deep purple that stained the heck out of my shirt collar just rubbing on the back of my neck.

THE fragrance - a dream the plum
At first, the tobacco really got to me, it made it difficult for me to like you for a short time.
But then I heard it for sure, unstoppably taking over delicious cinnamon.
From the beginning, there is also a deep, dark, tipsy plum in the room.
Those who always strive for the 'Arabesque' have not yet experienced 'Plum in Cognac', because this one is so much better woven.
Vanilla makes you round and soft, call it ParfumKUNST or ART.
All "Scents of Wood" are now discovered, because good things simply "taste" better.
I won't be giving you away any time soon, even if I find it hard to rhyme.

Tasty and juicy
This is such a beautiful fragrance. It's so rich and seductive. A juicy, fruity, woody scent that I am very intrigued by right now . Nothing seems artificial or overdosed. Like a tart dessert or plum in Madeira but as a luxury version without all the sugar, instead osmanthus and labdanum. I didn't have anything like this in my collection yet. Perfect on a fall/winter weekend.

In the opening, a juicy plum with rum. The scent is slightly smoky and spiced with cinnamon. Woody, a hint of leather and a sweet vanilla.

Rich, woody, boozy, and a tad smoky, this fragrance flies way below the "influencer" radar and needs more love. 8.5/10.

Very cozy smell; strong plum wine aged in a wooden barrel, mulled with spices. Not too sweet.
