From nature into the bottle and onto the couch
Earth, dirt, cold, wild animals: Living in the midst of all this, a nightmare for the well-mannered state and city dweller, in a few cases still booked as a guided adventure vacation, but preferably for dosed entertainment on the canapé ("Into the Wild", "7 vs. Wild", "Naked Survival") or - spoiler alert - sprayed on 3cm² of skin in the "wild", "dirty", "animalistic" perfume of our choice.
There's nothing wrong with that, on the contrary. Perfumes give our person, who has been almost stripped of their natural physicality thanks to a variety of care products (imagine a subway in midsummer without deodorant etc...), the opportunity to appreciate our fundamental physicality in other ways as the split spirits that we are.
And this is where Prins Mriga comes in: apply, done, like this.
After an extremely fresh, citrusy opening, coniferous notes of spruce and fir develop at first, before changing from a medicinal-herbal state to an earthy-moddy state that is reminiscent of "Find Me in the Dark Chapter II | The Unleashed Apothecary" and is carried for some time by costus root and musk without becoming overpowering. Finally, oud and jasmine work together in the dry-down, leaving the fragrance warm, close to the body, with an indolic, delicate sweetness.
Fantastically traced, this fragrance takes us on an olfactory journey from sparkling Mediterranean lightness to painfully tart heaviness, before leading us back into the arms of our loved ones. Without compromise, human, beautiful.
P.S.:
(If État Libre d'Orange is planning a successor to Sécrétions Magnifiques, squirt it in my face and ask for a name: Off the Couch, Out of the Bottle and Into Nature, would be fitting)

What does freedom smell like, Mr. Chieze?
Before we answer that, it should be said in advance: It is exuded in the midst of five extravagant companions from Mark Buxton's "Freedom Collection", preferably in a state of musical suspension after the will has been expressed through Chypre "I Want | Mark Buxton Perfumes" and the break has been made through Animalik "To Break | Mark Buxton Perfumes"; we now finally have the option of choosing between fougère "Why Not A Fougère | Mark Buxton Perfumes", cologne "Why Not A Cologne | Mark Buxton Perfumes" or memories of lost time "Mi Confesión | Mark Buxton Perfumes". So much for marketing ideology that shouldn't impress our noses. Yes, yes! After all, we're not on Parfumo for fun! That's the way it is.

A first spray initially reveals sharp, bitter spice, from which juicy bergamot soon emerges. This fruitiness (which can actually be compared to pineapple) transforms into a fresh, floral note in the freesia accord, which smoothes out the intense, essentially dry smoke of the resins and takes away their biting edges. The voluminously composed amber base constantly lends the wearer its spicy sweetness (vanilla and benzoin), its citrusy-woody balsam (labdanum and olibanum), whereby the incense used does not seem even remotely sacred: we are in the profane, in the non-denominational fog of freedom.
In short: what does it smell like?
C.: It smells damn good!
