what is that?
"Forest Patchouli" is not a golden-brown, but a green-brown patchouli fragrance!
Great!
Instead of golden veins and influences, I find pine and fir needles and interesting spices in the heavy dark base and thus a very special fragrance experience:
Aromatic, spicy and balsamic at the same time.
I don't know if it is exactly these mentioned scents of Siberian stone pines and balsam firs: I just smell a wonderfully heavy patchouli scent that is so very different from what I know and love.
Pepper and grated nutmeg, well dosed, I would also suspect some cloves.
This second fragrance from the brand "Alkemia", which I was allowed to test (the first was "Book of Shadows"), also immediately captivated me.
Not only because I have learned to love patchouli in all its facets over the years, but also because it develops so differently, so mystically dark and intensely touching the senses, on my very cool, light skin.
A deep forest darkness into which the essential oils of the conifers conjure up dancing lights:
Fragrant will-o'-the-wisps over a heavy, damp patchouli base - extraordinary and beautiful!
I think it's quite good that the sillage and longevity are not infinite here.
for me, "Alkemia" stands for "snapshots in a fragrance".
Mysteries that float around for hours lose their magic:
So it's better this way: everything fits and my curiosity about the secrets of the bottlings I still have is very great! I love mysteries in fragrances!
