The good old Oud-Rose station wagon
On Thursday I finished testing a pair of the perfumes of the new series "Spirit of Kings". What can I say?
About the series:
Flacons are really corny. What are they supposed to be? A cigar? A bullet? More like a bullet, 'cause they're metal, and they're really heavy. And the round, colored emblems in the middle of tester bottles are already losing their color The fragrances I tested did not seem innovative to me, but they were all good, balanced and wearable.
Kursa is currently my favorite from the series.
I already have so many oud (or rather patch?) and rose combos in all possible forms and obviously I can't get enough of them and am still fascinated.
Kursa is not a thoroughbred Oriental, is made for European noses, but is very fine and appealing. The fine, bitter oud smoke is in the foreground almost throughout the entire fragrance, while in the background a red rose pampered by the sun blossoms. Its petals are slightly wilted by the heat, they exude a seductive sweetish scent. I have not noticed any trace of acidity or fruitiness, and that's good. Towards the base, after a few hours, the rose gains presence, the smoke evaporates, the scent becomes a bit sweeter (but not a sugar bomb, very restrained) and the mochus is noticeable. At the end of the day, the rose even develops into a cleanly breathed Mochus-Rose Duo My sons have found the fragrance very beautiful on me, quite independently of each other. Perhaps one day the scent will be mine, who knows. It's already beautiful. I do.
