Mountain pine bath meets oud
- That's a compliment, because I really love the dark green bath additive!
For me, its scent is the epitome of relaxation and regeneration. However, the description "walk through a coniferous forest" sounds a little less trite, which I also find very apt. In this case, it is a damp forest - either from the morning dew or because it has just rained, because the essential oils are very intense in the air.
Scent:
For me, the above scenarios already describe the beginning of the creation very aptly, even if there are a few more facets to it. In addition to the strong cypress, something floral resonates and a minimal amber sweetness can also be detected. Pepper, patchouli and incense, on the other hand, are so well interwoven that I cannot explicitly smell these notes. The fragrance definitely comes across as complex and valuable, but the coniferous green is so beautifully and intensely depicted that I can't get the mountain pine-cold bath-sauna association out of my head. This remains for about 30 minutes until the oud becomes more and more present. Oud is usually a problematic fragrance for me because I usually perceive it as scratchy and sour. The only exceptions so far have been the two Alexandrias. With regard to "Kaliningrad's Mystery", I can therefore say with a clear conscience, as an old-established oud fancier: not a bad oud fragrance! It takes over very gently and remains well-balanced. I perceive the oud as soft and spicy and thanks to the long-lasting woody fragrance note, the creation does not drift into the oriental for me. For me, the fragrance ends with sweet oud and dry wood.
When? Where? Who?
For me, this is the kind of fragrance that has signature potential. Yes, it's heavy and spicy, but also green and ethereal. In fine doses, you could wear it in everyday life without it becoming too sweet and annoying. A few sprays more and, like most oud fragrances, it has a decent sillage and is therefore also suitable for the evening. However, I don't associate it with "chic", but rather with "striking". Just signature! "Kaliningrad Mystery" seems to me to be well suited to lovers of woody fragrances and/or oud. I tend to see this fragrance best on seasoned men.
Conclusion:
A high-quality and distinctive smelling oud fragrance with signature potential. For "nature boys", or those who want to become one. For people who have always wanted to know how oud behaves in a mountain pine bath additive.
*The name
Perfume names always give me a reason to puzzle. I couldn't have deciphered the "Kaliningrad Mystery". Here is the solution: It is a dedication to the mysterious disappearance of the Amber Room in Kaliningrad. Amber = amber... you could have created a "real" amber fragrance, couldn't you? Too easy! This is probably explicitly about the long search for the missing Amber Room in the forest... REALLY? Is that how perfumers approach things? Or was this beautiful woody scent simply created and the intern had to come up with the scenario and title...?
