NO smoked ham
Beaufort fragrances are always something special. Always different, usually brute. Some perceive these fragrances as a nuisance, others as the climax of the smoky olfactory guild. Well, my boss belongs to the first genre, he wanted to test in the office and wondered what was coming up. It was quite amusing, but that was on the edge.
Back to Beaufort: I myself appreciate Iron Duke, I recognize the theme in Vi et Armis and Fathom without wanting to consider them subjectively for me.
Tonnerre 1805, however, appears to me at first sight to be a successful scent and I only want to describe my view of things, as smoked ham is not to be seen here; rather, it is a well interwoven mixture of different scents. For this reason I wanted to have a more differentiated view. In fact, the fragrance does not come out of the bottle unrestrained like other Beaufort creations. It starts with a strong metallic note, gunpowder. This is alternatively staged by the tart lime, which gives the metal-containing element a certain appeal. It is self-explanatory that the whole thing here cannot take place without smoke. But it remains the smoke of a freshly fired weapon, there is no fire here, there are no impenetrable clouds of smoke on the horizon; so we are still at the gunpowder.
The further the fragrance marches, the more the metallic note changes. This is where this tone is created, which many associate with smoked bacon or similar. And they are probably not so wrong, because the metallic moves successively into more ferrous regions. Beaufort calls this ingredient blood. But this alone is not enough and I mean this quite objectively. The spice would be missing and thus a core element of the fragrance. What reads rather dreamily with Gischt, in the end, means the salty note, which comes across a bit airy. Splendid.
All in all, the solution is actually very subtle, one cannot complain. Has the whole thing been constructed too often nowadays? Yeah, just like leather raspberry saffron. But that doesn't make Tonnerre bad. Especially since this is not a new creation. The flaw in the fragrance is more to do with the base. I'm not aware of it.
I really don't mean anything, and of course this is also due to the powerful notes before. When those fade, the fragrance fades. Actually, this is also logical; such fine and rather contemplative notes like cedar wood or fir balm are contrasting.
For this reason Tonnerre is good in my eyes but it would have been possible to do much more. Unfortunately, the perfume "starves" halfway through and cannot be collected. A pity. Of course this is not the only Beaufort that is tamed after hours. But this happens to me too abruptly, too roughly.
