Desire is still in the air.
Addendum 08/2023: Today's scent unfortunately has little in common with the one from back then (in my opinion). It has been diluted and made more mass-appealing. I can hardly detect the animalic notes anymore. Also, the longevity has unfortunately become poor. I wouldn't pay 1,200 EUR for it.

Original review:

Scent - oranges soaked in erotic rum and resins

“...and kiss you. Deeply. The night burns brightly.”

PDLN 2 - a complex composition that represents a warm embrace of two lovers. The light is slowly dimmed. The closeness increases. I feel your breath. There is playfulness. Seduction.

People are not people without the deep breath of love.

From the moment I applied it, I was immediately captivated by PDLN 2: opulent and soft. Fruity and resinous. Oriental and spicy. And a lot of rum.

The dominant notes for my nose are orange and rum. The oranges smell very natural and not synthetic at all. From the very beginning, you can tell that this is a true luxury product.
Resins join the two main players, as well as cocoa, which does not come across as gourmand-sweet, warm woods, and leathery labdanum.

From start to finish, the scent does not develop as strongly as one might expect from many other Roja perfumes. With most of his fragrances, you can sense how the ingredients flow from top to bottom like an hourglass. But not here. New nuances occasionally pop up, the fruity notes fade after a few hours, and the resins and woods dominate. The scent develops very slowly on my skin and almost merges with it. The base remains present on my skin for a long time and wafts around my nose throughout the day.

“Oh, I love looking into your eyes. I love feeling your skin on mine.”

Timing - I would wear it in the colder and warmer months in the evening, but also during the day - because I love it so much. It evokes deep emotions in me. And that is exactly what perfume should do!

Sillage - I was noticed, I received many compliments.

The sillage is initially very strong and only settles after a few hours. The scent is always well perceivable by the wearer, even when they think the sillage doesn't seem that strong anymore. In my opinion, this fragrance can fill rooms well. Yet, as is typical for Roja: the scent is always present, but never overpowering. And so it is in real life: even if we don't always perceive desire, it regularly overwhelms us, and we succumb to temptation.

“I feel this tingling in my stomach. This love - I am in seventh heaven.”

Longevity - 24+ hours

I can still hear your voice. How it whispers to me.
Fragrance - floral-spiced orange blossoms in ginger with a touch of cocoa

“If you have just one word to say, just one thought, let it be love. If you can describe a picture with your colors, let it be love.”

Ti Amo - a complex composition that seduces with three magical words: “I love you!”

People cannot become people without the warmth of love.

Right after application, Ti Amo feels like a love declaration to myself. Opulent and soft. Oriental and spicy. Fruity and sweet.

The dominant note for my nose is the orange blossom, which warmly embraces me right after application. It is complemented in the top notes by ylang-ylang, heliotrope, spicy fiery ginger, and fruity, unripe pineapple. All of this smells very harmonious, and despite the heavy flowers, the fragrance never feels overwhelming to me, but always present in the background. Sometimes in life, you just need a hug. - No words. No advice. Just a hug. The flowers are the beautiful words of nature, hinting at how much it loves us.

The fragrance develops very slowly on my skin and practically merges with it. In its magnificent finale, dark cocoa notes and soft, sensual amber join in. These remain present on my skin for a long time and continuously waft around my nose throughout the day.

“I just wanna go where love is. Love is alive.”

Timing - I would wear it in the colder and warmer months, during the day or evening.

Sillage - I was noticed, I received a compliment.

The sillage is initially very strong, but settles after 1-2 hours. Then the fragrance is perceptible close to the wearer, without trailing a scent behind. This is very pleasant, as the fragrance is present but never intrusive. And so it is in real life: even if you don’t always see love, it can always be found in the heart.

“It was those three words that saved my life.”

Longevity - 12 hours

The Darkest Of All Hours
Fragrance - heavy, earthy lilies in stagnant aquatic waters

Awake, my heart, the darkness is near! In the distance, a wolf howls very close to you. From fairies and witches in this forest.

One night I walked along the river. Far away from gravestone land...

Fathom V is designed to polarize like all of Beaufort's creations. There will be those who love it. And others who will hate it. But that’s exactly what fragrances are made for.

Those who allow Fathom V bring you and me into deadly danger.

Even after application, you feel transported to other worlds. It smells of earth, death, dark flowers, waters, and silence. No friends or lightness can be sensed. I perceive lilies very strongly. However, none standing in a sunny garden. I am constantly reminded: Even a white lily casts a black, dark shadow.

“Again tonight I sang a song, a prayer if you will. Fell to the floor on blackened knees, and all the trees fell still. All of the lilies on the hill. Scented the night.”

For me, Fathom V is like a chameleon:

On some days I love it and feel at ease. I close my eyes and awaken in the darkness. The ground is covered with snow. With thoughts of the sea. It is only a small step from yesterday into nothingness.

On other days, however, it induces nausea in me with its musty, dull smell.

Timing - I would wear it in the colder months in the evening.

Sillage - I was noticed, I did not receive a compliment.

The sillage is phenomenal. A few drops are enough to create a scent veil that flies around you like a protective spell.

Longevity - 24+++ hours

Even after a shower, I can still smell the fragrance well on the spots where I applied it. Such persistence is rare for me, but it is typical for all of Beaufort's.

Not a Scent for Singles! A Trip to the Furniture Store with Jenny.
Fragrance - turbo-sweet, woody vanilla cream milk (synthetic).

Phew! Another classic Gaultieri. Back then, I loved his fragrances and elevated him to the sacred Olympus of perfume gods. Today - after years and without a virgin nose - it looks a bit different. I mean, I still really like Seminalis, but I can smell the synthetics in every single fragrance molecule.

Addendum 2022: I LOVE Seminalis again!
