Pomidorowa

Iris, Iris and one more time Iris. This perfume is around 80-90% Iris, but what na Iris it is - few different iris extracts are here but the main component is very expensive and rare 80% irones content one . For me there is zero citrus at start from the begining to the end is probably the best Iris note. But its not like there is nothing else, intresting thing is this dark chocolate Accord and very faint green elements. Everything is wraped and connected by lovely kashmiri Musk with pretty nice dose but well behaved. But... Im not Iris fun and just dont care about this ingredient but can appreciate Faizal bcs im huge fan of Luxe de Papua and overall his work - Iris is just not my thing and bcs of that i cant give more than 8/10

All the goodness of the list of notes hits my nostrils, but for the first few moments the green notes are the most prominent (I don't know what exactly... maybe cactus and basil plus something else?) which also doesn't mean that at first the fragrance is green. The greenish nuances quickly fade to the foreground came the musk, which accompanies us to the end of the journey. Along with the musk, a powerful player are the old essences of flowers, which gives the fragrance a touch of Vintage (not because of the construction of the fragrance itself, but because of the TIME that has exerted its influence on the ingredients). The flowers themselves we have here more than 70 essences, which over several decades of maturation have lost their fruity nuances and transformed into a sweet and dense nectar. The base of this fragrance is, of course, musk+sandalwood, but as probably in every fragrance of this brand plantation ouds “kinam”. - but do I personally feel that these are exactly the ouds ? Not necessarily, because I have very little experience with ouds and especially with kinam. For me the perceptible base is the highest quality (that I have met so far) musk and sandalwood (the same for me top tier) and something else (it is quite possible that it is these ouds). This is my first impression and probably with time I will start to notice more details and the scent itself will probably start to be perceived at least a little differently - after all, the flask arrived yesterday and perhaps it needs to rest.

Bastion 23 - the beginning is a hit of musk I think, but 100% along with jasmine, which reminds me of the one from old women's perfumes. Then there is an orange, but not juicy, but more of a creaminess. For the first hour the scent is very creamy almost like some kind of suntan lotion, it is not a lotion like scent but a lotion "texture", velvety and spreading. At this stage jasmine gives this fragrance such a retro vibe - it reminds me of some very old perfume I got from my grandmother from Germany. Later the smell evolves into something like bubble gum (tutifruti?). The base of this fragrance is a powdery musk and several types of agar oil. Overall, the fragrance evolves nicely and interestingly. Each phase is expressive: creamy and soft orange > fecal jasmine flower > tuti fruti > dusty old wood. For the first four hours the fragrance is quite strong, then for two hours it weakens and the last whispers of the base are already close to the skin.

At the beginning you can clearly smell the animal. Unfortunately, together with this animal we experience a rather unpleasant vinegary smell. In general, the smell is sour, musky, we have a hint of Indian ajmal oud and a bit of vaguely defined flowers. Unlike most perfumes, this one I love to use on clothes. I spray in the evening, and in the morning I can enjoy a truly beautiful base. The performance of this fragrance is something between Promise and The Moon from FM.
