Hades and Black Afg.

Interesting - nice, but clings closer to the skin, the projection is not wide. Maybe it's a good thing :). You are not in danger of a clash with the police :).

I was once curious about the Black Afg. which is similar because it is a clone. Who doesn't want to smell hashish? Although - we can smell marijuana every now and then on the street and it is a smell that cannot be forgotten. I tried Black Afg., it was good but....I didn't like it after a while - there was something aggressive in the later part that I didn't like. I had to wash my hands later.

But this perfume does not have this problem. The scent is full, it doesn't develop - but that doesn't matter. It's a very authentic hash smell.

Really good and comfortable to wear - definitely not a problem at a party or with a loved one if they don't mind this particular type of scent.

It is not a fragrance for everyone, it is actually a gourmand for a narrow circle of people.

Vacation In Hell

October 22, 2018, Munich, Flatbush Zombies - See you in hell Tour

Arriving in Munich, we enter the concert hall. Designed like an old theater (it probably was exactly that). We had been waiting for a long time for a European tour from the hip-hop group from Flatbush, Brooklyn NY.
Lyrics that deal with life in NY, weed, psychedelics, spirituality, and the problems surrounding life and the psyche. Unique, crazy but so damn good, the 3 artists wear their hearts right on their sleeves.
The stage illuminated by indigo spotlight, soft instrumentals played behind the scenes, the exuberant atmosphere of 2000 hip-hop enthusiasts sharing joints and drinks, all waiting for the start of a one-and-a-half-hour journey through a world of its own.
The hall smells of the aged wooden decor, the spilled Jägermeister from the crowd, and plenty of smoke. A mix of cigarette smoke, incense, and the scent of burnt hash rises to my nose, further clouding my already hazy mind.
The spotlight turns red and seconds later, the instrumental for the startup song HELL-O begins. I have never felt such energy in my own body, created in an instant by the crowd, the music, and the smell, like the feeling in this hall.
The hall began to vibrate as the 3 New Yorkers started their show, and my consciousness embarked on a journey beyond this universe. Hype songs, slow songs, macho posturing, and life wisdom blended together in my inner eye into an "experience".
After the first 1-2 tracks began, hashish was burning everywhere you looked (not weed, hash). You could see security pulling people from the crowd at regular intervals. But for every extinguished spark of a joint, two more lit up in the wormhole right in the middle of Munich.
The music, the lights, the people, and the smells merged into a huge image that I will never forget: "Freedom". It smelled almost exclusively of hash, the smoke it produced, and the herbal liqueur that forced its way down the throat of each individual.
Hades filters the once-present scent of this hall into a burning 30ml bottle.

We all traveled together for a way too short time into another dimension. A dimension where everyone can be exactly who they want to be. Without rules, judgments, or laws of nature. Erick (one of the artists) literally gave a 10-minute speech in the middle of the concert about how you can achieve anything in life if you never let go of your belief in yourself. Meech (another artist) spoke for 5 minutes about an open mind, that one should not close themselves off to anything and should give every viewpoint a chance, no matter how "crazy" or esoteric. These speeches are so deeply ingrained in me to this day that I now believe they have become part of my essence. Every time I wear Hades, it transports me back to that night in Munich and lets me relive that pure overload of emotions.

A Monster

Very much hash
darker notes / very gloomy scent
very intense, max one spray needed
At first, I didn't like it, but now I find it good.
It's hard to describe, the scent is unique and you constantly wonder, where have I smelled something like this before? But there is no answer :)
Warning, not for the faint-hearted or people who quickly get headaches.
Unfortunately, I can't find an occasion to wear this :)
Here it is labeled as unisex, but I can't imagine the scent on a woman.

In short:
It's definitely worth a try. The scent is already unique, but also very intrusive and not for the faint of heart. People who want to try something new are in the right place here.

Forgive me the short and concise sentences.
Best regards

Insider Tip. Elixir. Fragrance Volcano.

I’m still searching for words. Where to begin? Let’s say upfront: This thing is one of a kind.
I find it significantly exciting: One-of-a-kind!
Absolutely unique, at least as far as I’m concerned: A bullseye has been hit here.
The reference was "Black Afgano" by Nasomatto, which was supposed to bring us the scent of hash. But honestly, it mainly comes across as floral and fruity. Beautiful and harmonious.
Not so with "Hades' Elixir"! There are no flowers, no fruits, there is... IT! But slowly...

So I spray it on, knowing that the cannabis scent is supposed to await me. I am a bit skeptical. Who is supposed to wear this? Is it the sticky sweetness of the herb as it smells fresh out of the bag before it’s smoked? (Nice scent, I think! - I don’t consume grass, but the scent is extra-nice and would love to scent my desk. I’ve always wanted to put a gram in the drawer just for the sake of the scent and let it "waft"... Okay, I’m digressing!)
Well then... I spray it on, determined, open to new experiences, skeptical...

KAPLONK... I’m hit by an ashtray from the left, someone behind me has lit sulfur matches, three or four... HISS... and whoops, the airspace has been closed: The Eyjafjallajökull has just erupted... what... what?!?

"Okay... wait!" That can’t be it - wait! WAIT! - And indeed, that was far from it... 2 minutes of volcanic ash, chess club in the 90s before the smoking ban... no one knows what my opponents stuffed into their pipes back then... 3 minutes... The essence of the matter? Knock!

(Coming in?)

Knock knock!!! Someone wants in, there’s someone else... there’s the thing! - "You have to say it three times!"

Now, like organ pipes, those black hash notes come marching in (with power). But not "the herb," no: It’s the scent on the skin of your beloved after SHE first indulged in the herb and then YOU. Those burning notes... Dirty! And so good!
Where did Dua get this from? Where has it been until now? Why haven’t I heard anything about it?!

Where have you been so long?! This is... holy smokes... complex... indecently thought out... a Mahler symphony ecstatically conducted by Bruno Walter, no, by the master himself... stomping with his foot... And endlessly continuing to waft, surely 12 hours thumping and reworking the leitmotif... tam-tamm-taaaaah. Syncopation.-

Wait a moment, basses, driving! Okay, not Mahler, it’s Chris Isaak - "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing".... Baby did a very VERY bad thing.- Eyes wide shut. Nicole Kidman takes a drag... Spoiler: She’s not wearing much.-

So I don’t know if I could make it clear: This device is magically charged. Unheard of. It performs through until tomorrow morning. It’s complex, not trivial, it occupies you. No annoying front-of-mind that just bothers you, you can also tune it out... and then bring it back into perception: Peek-a-boo! Instantly back. On-off. Worry breaker. Doesn’t drag but is more of a "close combat weapon." Confusing. If you don’t know what it is, you probably won’t figure it out right away.
But we know.- We know now.

Would I wear it at work? Nope!
Would I wear it on a date: Yesss.
At the gym? Just did: Check!
I really wonder (no power to drugs!) if this stuff would be detectable in the blood at the nano level.
Can’t be. But it smells like it!
Honestly: It’s magical.-
Not a "good fairy," but her little nasty sister, who brings much more joy.
Gives magical powers: Yes!
In-laws compatible: No! oO No, let’s skip that.

Last Words: I’m truly amazed that you don’t hear MUCH more about this. This here is a star!-
Word.
Mic drop.
