Saturn's moon Eceladus is a fascinating, icy world that looks like a hidden ocean planet in miniature. Its surface of brilliant white ice reflects the sunlight and makes it one of the brightest objects in our solar system.

It could fit so well, but then you smell the Encelade and you smell rhubarb. My vision of the ice-cold planet and the hidden ocean of water beneath the surface was shattered pretty quickly and I just smelled one of the most beautiful rhubarb scents. In addition to the dominant rhubarb, leather and veltiver are clearly present. The sweet sandalwood and tonka bean give Encelade a seductive note that exerts an incredible attraction.

The bottle is kept simple in gold and has a minimalist look, while Encelade is a fragrance that wants to be perceived for a very long time.

For me the most underrated Marc-Antoine Barrois fragrance. While Ganymede Eau de Parfum is the elegant and harmonious fragrance, Encelade presents itself as a volcano with Rharbarbar lava. In my opinion, this is the best fragrance from the Marc-Antoine Barrois collection and another successful masterpiece by Quentin Bisch.

The experience of Black Gemstone begins with the bottle
Deep black, the shape of the bottle is simple and elegant. The color black pays homage to the sacred black stone in the great mosque of Mecca. The heavy cap of the bottle is reminiscent of the dome of a mosque. But that's not all. On the bottle you will find the number 777, which symbolizes spirituality, protection and luck.

With the bottle and the fragrance, Stephane Humbert Lucas has created a masterpiece that thrilled me from the very first spray. For me, an intense and complex fragrance experience unfolds that begins with fresh lemon and dominant cedarwood. The resinous notes, the myrrh and the tonka bean are perceptible from the very beginning and unfold in the course of the fragrance with a light woody sweetness and incense. For me, a very unique experience, where the mysticism of the bottle continues in the fragrance.

Black Gemstone demands to be noticed and draws you into an addictive, deeply resinous and smoky fragrance bubble. I find it incredibly pleasant and perfectly balanced. Not so dark, rather mystical.

Thank you Stéphane Humbert Lucas for this masterpiece of a bottle and fragrance.

At Christmas, I stumbled across the Dior stand in a perfumery by chance and quickly tried out the fragrances just before closing time.

At first I found them all quite appealing, but none of them really grabbed me until I came across Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum. What can I say, it pretty much blew me away just before 8pm after a long day.

A powerful cloud of amber scent exploded next to me! In addition to the dark amber, there was cinnamon, spices and a hint of rose water. The spicy, woody and sweet notes reminded me of a cold night in front of the fire, with a fine drop in my hand. And this feeling didn't go away so quickly. The enveloping and beguiling sillage of Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum really lingers for a very long time.

What can I say, that same evening I bought Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum in Soak at a fair price.

For me, the fragrance fits perfectly into the fall and winter time and is an ideal companion for the evening and night. My girlfriend also loves Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum and uses it a little more discreetly. A great unisex fragrance for me.

I did some research afterwards and found it quite exciting that Francis Kurkdjian reinterpreted Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum as part of the Les Esprits de Parfum series. His aim was probably to sharpen the essence of this fragrance and present it in a new and innovative way. Whether he has succeeded in this is for everyone to decide for themselves.

I am very happy with Ambre Nuit Esprit de Parfum and have found the perfect companion for the cold season.

Sacred Wood reminds me of a forest in Bavaria, surrounded by tall trees where a clearing opens up. It smells like a green forest. There is a chapel there.

The chapel smells of cold incense, which combines with the scents of the forest. This interplay is exactly what I find in Sacred Wood.

The sandalwood and myrrh set the tone for me. That's why Sacred Wood reminds me exactly of the fragrance vibes of the chapel Mitten im Wald.

It is not intrusive, but it is easily perceptible and pleasing in its woody notes.
Longevity and sillage are average.

The experience of B683 Eau de Parfum begins with the name! Behind the number is a homage to the planet from Saint-Exupéry's classic "The Little Prince". The numbers refer to the letters of the alphabet and translate as "Be Fabulous Haute Couture". Marc-Antoine Barrois, the fashion designer, was born on October 6, 1983. His date of birth has also made it into the name of B683 Eau de Parfum.

What a fox and what a story for his first fragrance, which he created together with the famous perfumer Quentin Bisch! In addition to the beautiful story, it is also a really beautiful fragrance. It is not as loud as Ganymede Eau de Parfum or Encelade . Softer and more pleasing.

I detect a lot of saffron and nutmeg. The violet is also a big player. I really like this combination in particular. B683 Eau de Parfum is very fresh thanks to green moss and ambroxan. I find the interplay of the different fragrances really successful. I don't mind the slight synthetics. For me, it's a great fragrance for winter and spring alike.
