Pathavi ปฐวี - The Lord of the Elements
Pathavi by Prin is a fragrance that is on the gentle side of the work master perfumer Prin.
Pathavi is merging the elements of fire, water, air and earth into one bottle.
When you spray Pathavi, you will immediately notice citruses /Pine and earthiness straight away these notes they resemble the " earth".
After 5 minutes the elements "air" and " water" comes in to play.
The scents transfer from green/earthy opening to slightly aquatic from the Water Lily and the beautiful flowers ( Jasmine, Carnation) makes a slight appearance as well, it stays aquatic/green, floralish for a bit
The late drydown resembles the element lord of "Fire", the scent takes a smoky path that is the combination of the oud with Cumin and Safforn, that gives it this smoking feeling to it.
The civet in Pathavi gives it animalic feeling but it's not overdone.
I would describe this beautiful scent as a green/earthy/ aquatic and smokey scent.
The late drydown smell was a bit similar to Arsalan, Performance is no issue at all.
All in all Pathavi is a very interesting scent that changes and tries to capture all the 4 elements and it does well doing that, the smell was essentially for me a mix betwern Kheerin and Arsalan together, it is a gentle scent that it will for sure make you stand out.

Sgail by Prin Lomros is by far one his riskier scents to pull off , the young brother of Homa, Sgail is very strange and I'm gonna share with you what I'm getting from this scent:
When you first spray the scent it's extremely dark green musty/earthy smell I was immediately got reminded of Sloth that lasted for a good 5 minutes then it changed and something very Lactonic appeared which is the Milk mixed with this earthy/ musty smell and if that is not enough add smoke to the mix I have honestly never came across something like this in Prins compositions and the main player of this fragrance the sheep's wool gives it this warm/nostalgic slightly furr feeling as well, all that mix together and you get Sgail, I was not getting alot of floral nor the grass note on my skin that much.
The late drydown reminded me just a bit of Nisatiruk.
Why said younger brother of Homa cause they are close but Sgail is tamer in animalic and weirder smelling than Homa.
Performance is no problem.
I like Sgail and I would love to have a bottle but the golden question is where would I want to wear it? And that's what makes it special, it is without a single doubt on the challenging side of Prins work.

A Wise Goat in a Bottle
0225 by Prin Lomros is limited to 50 bottles and one of the more expensive ones from his releases for a good reason.
when i first tried 0225 i didnt liked it, it reminded me alot of Nilmalee, which to be honest they do share very simillar dna but 0225 takes the darker route.
upon spraying 0225 you are greeted by a huge burst of Tuberose and something very grassy/green that is a bit stinky (maybe the combo of Hiba and Skunk) and for me the star of the show, the goat hair, they all appear immediately.
after 2 hours in, the grassy/green turns into menthol/minty aura which is almost the exact in Nilmalee but the big difference here is the goat hair along with hints with the different animalic mix that you get along with that aura, it feels cold/blue/uncanny/gothic also there is a bit hint of something aquatic in there as well, i didnt detect too much spices.
the late drydown is very musky, the muskroot + Siberian Musk is responsible for that while still having that minty aura i have mentioned and ofc the goat hair is strong as ever.
the Ouds in here also makes an appearance but its not dominant at least to my nose.
Perfomance was not that great for me at least i felt like it was a bit shy to stand out more, defo not a "beastmode".
the image i get when smelling 0225 is an old goat sitting on a pile of grass mixed with tuberose around a waterfall but he is not alone.
all in all 0225 is a gentle scent for those who loves Tuberose with a twist, it is very creative and one of a kind smell, not that animalic compared to other Prins in my opinions but it has that mysterious smell, like everytime i smell it, im like "what is this?" in a good way.
if you have Nilmalee you can skip this esp for the price tag i wouldnt say it is redundant but they are very close.
