A fragrance with a ritualistic, sun-lit soul. It’s a sparkling citrus-woody scent, with an energizing opening that feels almost physical. From the very first spray I clearly get that
Bacche Fiori Legni DNA! The opening is bright and electric: a warm kind of fizz that instantly lifts your mood. Citrus and spices everywhere!
The coffee is there, but it stays in the background, like a dark vibration. It’s not creamy or gourmand at all — it’s dry, roasted, black, closer to the idea of a warm, “used” coffee bean than an actual cup of coffee. It adds structure and tension, definitely not sweetness.
There’s a gorgeous slightly burnt, almost smoky allure, which is probably the most fascinating part of the scent. Personally, I think it would have been even more magnetic with the burnt note pushed just a tiny bit further.
Tambour Sacré has a steady, energetic rhythm. It feels alive. Lovely discovery :-)
