Sauna & Peppermint Steam

This was great surprise to me:

It starts off as the smell of a sauna: steamy, hot & a little burnt wood, hot stones, dried leaves/green plants.

As it dries, the burnt smell gets less potent & a peppermint EO appears, like you just put some drops to the water poured over the hot rocks

What truly surprised me is that through the wear is kept on getting more and more pepperminty, as if you left the sauna & did some inhalations.

The resemblance of the smell is quite interesting, need to re-test it soon!

All beings come from a long line by the ocean

All beings in these villages come from long lines of fishermen and shipbuilders. Their souls live in the rotten woods of the black, salt-encrusted huts. In the cold smoke of burnt onycha shells. In the murmur of the half-petrified algae on the stakes in the deserted beaches. In the crackling of tiny bursting bubbles, their green ethereal breath in the mud of the disappearing seas. In the straw flowers that wither trembling in the gusts, ground into sepia spice in the dunes. In the sand of bitter myrrhiades of grains. The traces of resin crystals, the salt pheromones, lost by whales eons ago.

Filippo Zanini and his friend Giacomo have been running their small artisan label Zanini in Prato, Italy, since 2023. They use 100% natural raw materials, most of which they harvest themselves and process traditionally. The raw materials are given plenty of time to mature. The resulting fragrance landscapes are extraordinary. “Madly in love with untamed nature. Following materials from source to extraction. Staying with the process—even when it is slow, complex, inefficient,” reads their manifesto on Instagram.
“Fermo Pesca” is a particularly evocative and intense landscape based on various types of Indonesian oud, an incense-like Merauke oud, an earthy-green Natuna oud, and a salty Pontianak oud, which, together with salty-green seaweed notes, ethereal eucalyptus capers, aromatic, herbaceous, spicy myrtle, and smoky onycha shells to create a smoldering, misty image of dark, rotten wood by the sea, mineral, sharp, and smoked. Immortelle and strawflower sprinkle sepia-colored, curry-like spicy notes over it. The various types of myrrh lend a bitter-resinous depth beneath an ambergris that was harvested on the coast of Sicily and macerated for over four years, which in turn appears to be salty-resinous with a subtle musky character. The result is a bitter-spicy, woody-earthy, resinous-smoky fragrance with subtle aquatic-mineral animalic notes. Natural, terpene-oily, multi-layered. A masterpiece.

I'm not a fan of ambergris, but here's what I'll tell you.

I am impressed by the work of artisan master Filippo Zanini.

His perfume compositions are cohesive and do not fall apart at the base, unlike, for example, the artisan brand Mallo. I am comparing it specifically to Mallo because it seemed to me that both perfumers had a similar approach—creating fairly natural, not too loud, not overpowering fragrances. Unfortunately, however, Mallo has not managed to create a single fragrance that does not fall apart on its way to drying out or turn into something sharply repulsive. I was disappointed, but that doesn't mean everyone will feel the same way; it's just my opinion.

So, back to the fragrance. I don't like ambergris. I haven't tried it very much, but I think I've tried enough to form an opinion that it's just not my kind of ingredient. As we know, no two pieces of ambergris in the world smell the same; it's simply impossible.
But it seems to me that there are still small echoes of ambergris in Sunatran Ghalya. Only in the case of Sumatran Ghalya, the ambergris smells very medicinal, bandage-like, and salty to me, which is not particularly masked by the other floral and coniferous components in the perfume and is only enhanced by animal notes.
Whereas in Fermo Pesca, this ambergris is not added in huge amount, and the perfumer has found and delicately managed to hide the characteristics of ambergris that I did not like in Sumatran Ghalya in this perfume with medicinal herbal notes and some others that I encounter for the first time in perfumes, such as onycha, buckwheat, and caper.

With this perfume, I don't feel like I'm in the mouth of a dead and decomposing whale (although Sumatran Ghalya has characteristics that make it interesting to smell because of this strange animal nuance, but as a perfume, I find it repulsive and don't understand where to wear it).
Here, I feel like a sailor on the deck of my old yacht, which smells of aged wood, with a first aid kit hanging nearby, containing jars of old herbal tinctures that are not tightly closed and therefore give off that characteristic scent, and of course the smell of salty waves.
Here, ambergris and herbs create for me the very scent of salty sea waves (I had seen such reviews of ambergris in other perfumes before, but I didn't feel it that way; for me, ambergris felt like something salty, petrified, old, and bandages soaked in medicine).

For me, this is the most beautiful fragrance containing ambergris in a good concentration. At least, that's what I think at the moment.
