Yuzumot dreams
I just figured it had been too long since my last review. And the last two were rather negatively tainted. So why not dedicate myself to the direction I love more than any other ? With this particularly successful fragrance that few people seem to know about ?

Teone Reinthal works exclusively with plant-based & natural ingredients of great quality, and you can tell from her fragrances. Sometimes I find her blending with them more, sometimes less successful. The shipping & customs costs are also always quite unappetizing at at least 30% of the order value, which, in addition to the not cheap prices of the fragrances, also means that they are rather less common. Testing is therefore only possible with sample sets, which are also not cheap, or with good contacts.

I struggled for a few months before I bought this fragrance, as I found "20: The Masculine Perfume of an Iconic Pair | Clive Christian" at least as unique & beautiful in terms of the fresh citrus with my beloved yuzu. In the end, after extensive testing, I loved them both so much that I bought them at the same time.

About the fragrance :
Well, where do I start here ?
The combination of citrus fruits here is so unique & refreshing at the same time that I have never smelled it like this anywhere else. As an owner of pure citrus oils, I can say the following: here they have been combined to create an individual that is difficult to differentiate, and I simply call it Yuzumotte. The citric astringency of bergamot with the bitter-juicy, somewhat mandarin yuzu, the elegantly muted neroli with the extremely bright, radiant yellow lemon, they make my mouth water.
The equally cool, herbaceous lavender is also noticeably refreshing here, but leaves the stage to the citrus notes for the majority of the fragrance. That's how it should be (for me).
The depth comes from the violet leaf & camphor tree. Their green-floral facets are also refreshing here. I also think I can sense a woody facet of cypress.
The sandalwood in the base provides the necessary hold as a fixative without appearing too creamy or spicy. I am really sensitive to this, especially when it comes to citrus fragrances. Lightness & freshness prevail, to my advantage.

So this fragrance hits my nerve exactly: completely refreshing, natural, wearable but still special with the right depth.
What more could you want as an absolute citrus & summer child ? Not much ! I really can't get enough of it. One of my citrus top picks.

Thank you Teone, for this great scent.
And thank you for reading !

Scented Shaytan / Musty Count Dracula
Shaytan comes from the Arabic & means devil. If you don't know the scent, you might wonder why you would connote a fragrance so negatively. However, most people who know the fragrance will probably agree that this is a gross understatement. You should rather ask yourself why you would create such a fragrance in the first place. But more on that at the end.

Negative energy often tempts you to make big mistakes. The mischievous aura that this fragrance exuded for me, shrouded in many myths and legends, tempted my curious and impatient self to spray it generously twice on the surface of my hand as soon as I received it on the train. Connoisseurs of the fragrance will probably be open-mouthed, wide-eyed or maybe even both. I wish I hadn't bitten into that apple...

Let me put it this way, it wasn't exactly the "number one compliment getter" everyone was waiting for. It was the devil incarnate. My seat in the carriage was flooded with "Eau de Space" within seconds like a massive tsunami. So you really can't complain about a lack of performance here. It's a space filler with eternal life. Almost like a vampire! But there's more to the comparison than that...

Well, what do vampires like?
Blood.
What is blood partly made of?
Iron.
There is something bitter-metallic about this fragrance throughout.
This is not a scent for outer space, this is an elixir for vampires!

This vampire may live & last a very long time, good for him ! He has unfortunately forgotten to take a shower after all these years though, let alone flush the damn toilet. Worse still, after all these years, he hasn't once pulled aside the curtains to open the window & air the room for fear of light. This stuffy air, with its pungent stench, is etched deep into his memory like a surreal nightmare. This is the mustiest Count Dracula ever!

Like a soccer anthem :
Urine, urine, we smell of urine !

What does it smell like, Mr. Gattuso?
Sometimes maybe urine, sometimes maybe shit !

A harsh, medicinal-savory facet lies over it. Somewhat aldehydic & effervescent at the same time.

In combination, it's almost like a rotten medicine jar that you urinated in years ago. The glass is made of slightly burnt plastic and lies on damp, damp earth.

If you have learned anything here, it is the fact that you cannot simply recreate the smell of outer space in a perfume. This is a concept fragrance that couldn't even begin to fulfill the concept. I find it hard to imagine someone floating their urine around in space. One should not be so easily blinded by the marketing of this failed experiment, if it really was their claim, as they bizarrely suggest indirectly on their website.

It smells like the worst April Fool's joke & best Halloween scent.
A fragrance to shatter the dream of a flight into space. Nobody wants to be an astronaut after this fragrance.
If this is what outer space smells like, then Kei Porten's Oud 31 uses a lot of real oud :

So never in my life !

...And here is an orchestra that does justice to the grotesque malevolence of this fragrance, and could actually work well here as a background soundtrack :

Merry Christmas to you all!
Your Grinch ;)

So this is the human heart outside the matrix.
What is this heart?
Could I see it as a heart surgeon?
Could I see it with an Insta or TikTok Like?
Could I see it...

1956, Desolation Peak, North Cascades, USA

What we are doing here?
Everything in nature has its origin & meaning. Causality principle.
What is it all for?
Love, growth & progress. Evolution.
Aren't there more important things?
The artificial mainstream & known fragrance norms have always been unimportant, boring & uninnovative.
You should think outside the box, find yourself & evolve. And this simply works best in isolation in nature.
Open up & become one with it.
Swallow the red pill.
A look out of the blue mainstream matrix :
Desolation Peak.

Desolation Peak by N.O.A.M Botanical Perfumes is a very exciting fragrance that has an incredible amount to offer with its ingredients of 100% natural origin. It can develop differently on every skin, every wearer and every fabric. But one thing is always certain: it is never boring, unnatural or simplistic.

At first, you encounter citrus-fresh & green aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit & bitter orange. They alternate constantly, but the lemongrass note predominates with cool, woody pine needles & cypress. The fresh aroma is brightened & sustained by minty & resinous facets of several resins & incense.
But since this is not a 0815 citrus forest fragrance, much more follows afterwards.
As if the beginning wasn't relaxing (& exciting) enough, you are served fine tea. It has been brewed perfectly, the tea-like smoke of the pine trees billows out of the cedar wood cup & makes you feel at one with the wooded nature among the eaglewood trees.
I admit, it gets me right away. It's like setting up a sauna with meditative, aromatic infusions in the middle of the forest and letting spicy smoke pour out of our pores.
But of course that's not all, because we're not here at Areej L-angeweil-e Dore in the Siberian forest, but in Desolation PEAK. A place that tells far more stories in a subtle, balanced way, without any toilet stone citrics or urinous animalism in the forest.
Speaking of which, this is not at all a sweaty-animalistic or unpleasantly coked-up work, as the hyraceum or tar might suggest. Instead, you only encounter soft & subtle smoky & leathery nuances for more volume & depth. This work is surprisingly wearable, but why this is so will become clearer in a moment.
Arriving at the final stage of the fragrance, incense aromas emerge, as the sweet-spicy myrrh & several resins often do in many fragrances of this genre. You stand directly in front of the resins, burn them & inhale their meditative aromas deeply. Here cinnamony-sweet, minty-bright & incense-resinous in the green-piney-mossy, cool cypress forest. Warmth & coolness, light & dark always balance each other out perfectly.
The crown is set by the balsamic ouds, which demonstrate a high distillation quality, flow appropriately into the work and further enhance the aforementioned aromas. The loamy drydown of the ouds, which I love, is of course a must. Earthy & nutty tones of bourbon vetiver, nagarmotha & patchouli provide the necessary finishing touches in this spicy forest atmosphere. They are like the warming & leathery wooden floor to which the feet cling in this cool forest.
The fragrance lingers on the skin for a long time but never screams with a pleasant sillage. So multi-layered, special & wearable at the same time in every season & for every gender. Everyone can have fun with this fragrance at any time, just as it should be.

What more can you say about it, except that it's a damn masterpiece!
That a hell of a lot of heart and soul must have gone into it ?!
That they have tried to make everything you love about the world of fragrances into one ?!

After all my tests in every genre, I am rarely impressed anymore. I sort of give it 4-7 points out of reflex.
Here, however, I had wide eyes & attentive olfactory cells from start to finish. A multidimensional, many images & emotions awakening, transcendental fragrance experience, which I can only recommend to everyone! In terms of quality & DNA, you can't get much more out of a fragrance here, as in Le Boucanier & other works from the same house.

Back to the present. After looking out of the Matrix, I finally understood. What the heart is was right on the nose the whole time :

"In other words,
you gotta be heaven,
to see heaven." - Jim Carrey, Phantom Regret

A big chapeau & thank you from the bottom of my heart to N.O.A.M for this exceptional creation.

And also thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading & all the inspiration.
I love this community :)

Here's to another year. One more year.

Pirates end up in the jungle.
Men, the jungle is slowly coming into sight. After weeks of sailing through the salty sea & several battles with other crews, our smoky cannons are damaged & our supplies have run out. We have to put ashore in the oudy jungle, get new supplies & recover. Start by extracting the balsamic & moist juices of the eaglewood tree in the green, piney, mossy forest. Use its cedar-like wood to light a smoky campfire. The leather-belted animals listen quietly in the dark. Make a hot relaxing drink in a sitting circle. Those in the north call it coffee or tea. But their drinks are too bitter, spice it up sweet & sweet with cinnamon & vanilla sticks. All that's missing is a cigar & rum and we'll have the most relaxing evening ever.

-

My first NOAM & such a great one.
Tested on skin (1x spray) & paper strips (2x sprays).

Skin :

Very multi-layered start, which does not take me to sea, but on land in the jungle. Smoky, oudy & only briefly citrusy. This Cambodian jungle is already delicious.
A subtle creaminess is added - perhaps the sandalwood.
Suddenly woody-green facets, something between pine & moss.
In addition, a salty-smoky ambergris.
Towards the end, sweet-spicy facets, something like ambered coffee with cinnamon & vanilla. With the pleasant smoke & oud together almost something of oriental bukhoor & thus reminding me of Agar Aura's Al-Arabiya (whose incense aromas I also like very much). Some matte-woody cedar with sweet-spicy cinnamon & green-wooded pine at the very end as the last remnant -> Agar Aura Yellow Kinam.
The Ambras & Ouds have something of Agar & Ensar. Smoky, cinnamon-spicy & jungle-esque green with high quality -> Khmer Kinams Cambodi. The other notes (cinnamon, smoke, moss & co.) have only intensified their natural smoky aromas -> as in Al-Arabiya.

Paper :

Initially citrusy, clovey, smoky and woody. Sweet and humid jungle. Quickly takes on an animal, leathery facet, like tarry animals. It stays that way for a long time, probably because of the 2 sprays + paper. Very dense - like Dixit & Zak's Hindi Tabac.
Balsamic incense, sandalwood, cinnamon & other spicy notes give cozy incense aromas with the tobacco.
The green pines & mosses take their time but become more and more noticeable. They bring lightness, relaxation & a connection to nature with the tea in what is actually a dense work. Like a big tiger that can also retract its claws & cuddle. This makes this work with the sweet spice of cinnamon & vanilla with light coffee bukhoor vibes towards the end amazingly wearable.
If I had to guess from the notes & my experience where the green-wooded pine & jungle come from, it's probably the oud, which I also often perceived in Cambodian, for example, as well as the loamy drydown.
From time to time, smoky-salty aromas flash up, which I would assign to ambergris and tobacco. I wonder if the tarry smoke comes from the gunpowder? More likely from the animals. The flowers are subordinate, they don't stand a chance in this wild party, which as a flower hater I think is just great - this is not a floral work at all :D
You can tell that someone has tried to mix everything they love into a natural blend. Fortunately, he absolutely succeeded & he also meets my taste very well.
On the pirate theme: It's well done -> salt, smoke & rum. Nevertheless, I am figuratively more in the jungle because of the oud & green facets (which I love).

I liked the test on the skin more because it wasn't so tarry-ledgy-animalic & instead more oudy & green-cinnamony a la Agar Aura. But maybe it would have been the same on paper with just 1 spray, as everything took a little longer. The dosage has a significant influence on what stands out clearly and for how long. Even more so with such dense & natural works. In addition, fragrances develop very quickly on my skin (perhaps because I'm constantly sniffing them? :D). Then your own skin chemistry comes into play. Mine was lucky ;) I have to sniff the drydown all the time.

In terms of quality, you can't really get much more out of a fragrance: lots of great naturals. As for the blending: excellent. Multi-layered with development, always pleasant & completely to my taste.
I'll be simmering this fall/winter.
Very good longevity, good sillage. Does not scream at the surroundings but beguiles them invitingly.
The fragrance is unisex for me because of its closeness to nature.
Love oud. Love smoke. Smooth with sweet-spicy & green facets made into a harmonious blend. Special & wearable at the same time. That's how it should be.

A hot-arr wint-arr candidate-arrr-t. :)
