Of volcanoes, churches and soft tuff rock
When I went to the letterbox today and found a bubble envelope, I was a little puzzled at first. It couldn't be sharing mail or a souk sample, surely I'm not expecting anything at the moment?
Aaaahh, I had taken part in the Parfumo competition, so apparently I'm one of the lucky winners!
Of course, I unpacked the sample straight away and, curious as I am, sprayed it on immediately.
Oh well, that's what I call a loud start!
With the force of a volcanic eruption in the Cappadocian landscape, spicy saffron rises to my nose, almost more spicy than sweet.
A few minutes later, I smell a distinct leather note, although leather is not listed in the pyramid.
In the drydown, the fragrance, which had previously been rather hot for me, develops a coolness dominated by frankincense and myrrh, as if you were inside one of the numerous churches created by the inhabitants of Cappadocia in the soft tuff rock of the region in the early Christian era.
As the fragrance progresses, it becomes softer and ends in incredibly soft, creamy and rosy sandalwood with a pleasant, but for me not at all gourmand sweetness.
If I were to compare it with fragrances I know, it starts with a touch of "5 - Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk | Rosendo Mateu - Olfactive Expressions", takes a short breather with "Vanagloria | Laboratorio Olfattivo" in the church and then gently snuggles up on the sofa with the positive sides of "Guidance | Amouage"
My conclusion - I am really thrilled!
The start is a little too loud for me personally, but after the first ten minutes I find it beautiful, present, creamy, pleasant.
For me, this is definitely a fragrance that I would add to my collection.
