Grenouille
It has already been written about elsewhere and I can only underline it again: This fragrance is the absolute final stage. Anyone who wonders what Grenouille's perfume might have smelled like - like Parfum Fin from Nabucco.
The fragrance is spicy-warm and incredibly complex. Balsamic and incense-like, carried by a wonderful, natural, ambery sweetness. The citrusy notes are very subtle, reminding me more of oranges or nectarines than a baking ingredient in a spiced pastry.
Once applied, the fragrance creates a room-filling, almost mystical atmosphere. However, it always remains a fragrance that you associate with a person, not with "things" or "landscapes". The durability is maximum, you can still smell it on clothes for weeks, on the skin at least the next morning. The sillage is also blatant, but unobtrusive in its own unique way - as I said, the fragrance creates more of an "atmosphere" than a "cloud of scent".
The perfume comes as an oil and is correspondingly rich. Thanks to a great contact here on Parfumo, I came into possession of a bottle that is barely half full - I'm sure I'll be able to get by with it for many years to come. I have to, because the fragrance is no longer produced and the Nabucco brand has, according to a former employee, sold all rights somewhere in the Middle East. Unfortunately, there is no new edition yet and there is no exact information about who bought the rights.
P.s. There is a perfumer in the USA who produces a fairly inexpensive dupe of it on the well-known platform for home-made products (starts with E and ends with y ;) ). The fragrance is actually a reasonably good match, even if it's much flatter and nowhere near the original in terms of lasting power and sillage. If you still want to get an idea of the fragrance, you probably don't have another chance anyway, as bottlings or even bottles are EXTREMELY hard to come by.
