Dekadenz

Hype, hype and again hype.
That's what this fragrance has gotten in the last few years since it's been out.
Every Youtuber (the current reference next to forums, to bring the hype to life), has left out about this fragrance, whether positive or negative be put to one side. Francis Kurkdjian polarizes halt - fact

There is a fragrance that is on everyone's lips, a fragrance that you can not get past, so to speak, which is supposed to be sweet as cardboard, cotton candy to be exact.

And that's where I am: old school advocate, old values advocate, I would say relatively conservative. Just the opposite of baccarat rouge.
If everybody had something, I didn't have it. On principle, I often swim against the tide, don't like a lot of things most do, am a bit particular and like to keep to myself. Calm, never rushed, thoughtful, rarely spontaneous. Fragrances I wear only for me and not to please others or so that others say it smells nice.

Basically, you could now already end the review here, the attentive reader might think that the fragrance is torn apart by me in the air...

WITHNOT

Sometimes chance plays into your cards and either you flop or you get the royal flush.
Yes you notice, the Baccarat Rouge EdP was going to be my Royal Flush.

A colleague orders samples from Parfumo, Louis Vuitton and Baccarat Rouge, the extrair mind you. The Extrait does not taste so to him, he gives it to me to test. I, completely biased by the hype, put a spritz on my forearm. The first thing I notice is that I can't help but think of my dentist. To be exact, the scenery there: sterile utensils, disinfectant, wound swabs / drains, and most importantly, the rubber disposable gloves. I'm dreading it.
With time it flattened out, but pleasant was something else.
Next day: "Come on, let's give you a second chance, everyone deserves it, even the dentist's office."
End of song - headache and a scrubbed arm. Wonderful. The stuff was still projecting afterwards. At work, oddly enough, I couldn't get away from the smell. Again and again I caught myself smelling my arm.
So weak he liked me to my astonishment, but could not classify whether he would be what.
But Parfumo is your friend and helper. So read comments and researched like a berserker.

Two days later, a bottling of the EdP's fluttered in.
I smelled the tester - Nothing.
I sprayed - Nothing.

Was that supposed to be it? I read everywhere only of bombs sillage would fill the rooms. I myself smelled for the time being - Nothing.
I got it to do with the fear, should I not be allowed to smell this fragrance, should the mean molecules deny it to my nose?

Hours passed and suddenly my eyes widened, my nostrils so-called the heavenly fragrance that now presented itself to you in fullness.
Precious saffron, sweet, tart woodiness, all perfectly matched.
What grabbed me is that the scent was never intrusive, sometimes there was, sometimes disappeared, but then pleased me again and again when he rose to my nose.

And now I was gobsmacked, should I, who didn't want to follow the hype, who swims against the tide...? yes... should I really weaken here?

Ask the best times the shipping department of my regular perfumery, they know it namely quite exactly ;-)

This is my first comment about a niche fragrance, which I had to rate here, because I think that it is wrong with some ratings, even if you can't argue about tastes.

So it happened that I went to the Vollmar in Bonn, a beautiful Ladeb with old pharmacist inventory, in short: It has real charm and a mega selection of niche fragrances of all selections, mainstream niche as well as niche niche.
I was thinking of testing Molecule 01 from Geza Schön. Had they sold the last one that day - great. So I tested myself a little, uninterested. Went from Aqua di Parma's Fico di Amalfi to Creed's new Aventus Cologne to various Jo Malones'. Scented houses that I all knew and knew well.
I have to say that I'm a bit sceptical about fragrances and don't know their origin, Creator. Suddenly a smiling woman came up to me and said bluntly: "I think he would suit you well." You don't hear it too rarely, but since I was about to leave anyway, I thought, "Let's give the scent a chance."
She sprayed two blasts on my arm without telling me what it was. I waited briefly, smelled, wow very very sweet! Away, poor again, still mega cute. There was a picture in my head of freshly showered. So I don't buy expensive perfume for this. I said goodbye without asking for the name of the brew and went for a stroll in the city.
Meanwhile the sweetness flew into my nose again and again, which slowly flattened out and became rounder and also did not seem too feminine but was somehow sexy, RESPONSIBILITY! Not woody smoky fresh sexy, but sweet, sweet, fruity berry sexy! Quite different from a pushy Erba Pura Xerjoff Sospiro (who is just disgusting among us, sorry my opinion).

So off again to Vollmar and scooped from the birds. What's the name of the fragrance and, above all, who is it from???
Smiling, the lady looked at me and told me a little story about Tiziana Terenzi and her origin, from a small family business which had made candles primarily for churches, even the Vatican.
I really like traditional houses and family businesses a lot. Nevertheless sceptical, since I heard the first time about Tiziana Terenzi at that time (shame on my head!), I bought the love elixir, which really enchants my environment, like Circe himself did back then. The salesgirl gave me another 20%. The day was saved, Molecules 01 forgot and I happy.

The scent brought me to Parfumo, I researched more and more. And wow! I can't get out of the amazement. I like scents that project, but at some point cling to me, that's exactly what Kirke does for me! Is nevertheless present for 10 hours, but not at all intrusive, but always a little sweet under the nose where I can only indulge ...
Meanwhile I have ordered some bottlings of other Terenzis here at SOUK from very nice members, so much Kirke has flashed me.

Finally a little more factual.

100ml Extrait de Parfum for Terenzis prices absolute top price performance ratio.
Fragrance is unisex, many have arranged him to the female side, but find him even more wearable as a man! The fragrance is really appealing and durable and Sillshe 1a! It doesn't have much development, but becomes rounder after about 30 minutes and from then on it says: ENJOY!

Today I caught myself smelling ten times on the T-shirt of the day before, put it back again and again, then smelled it again. High addiction factor!
