ScentPhantom: An Obituary
As you probably all have noticed - at least those of you who knew him here - our dear Carsten aka "ScentPhantom" is no longer active at Parfumo. It's true, he actually logged out and deleted his profile. Yesterday I wrote with him - quasi at the last minute - and he just told me that he would log out and that you can still write via mail. After the "why" I didn't ask him, that's not important. The important thing is that one of the most attentive perfumers has left the community. One who appreciated almost every comment and statement. And by that I mean appreciating in an all-round positive sense. He or she has always confirmed the author positively in the description of the fragrance and if only very professionally criticized. A way, as it is unfortunately not to be found with everyone here. He also always knew his way around analyzing scents, as his great comments testified. For these reasons I am really very sad that he is no longer here and contributes with his positive nature to the high level of this site. Hence this obituary, which is deliberately dedicated to one of his favourite scents, the "Heaven".
++++++++++++++Heaven++++++++++++++++
Rightly he once dedicated a very affectionate comment to him, which also prompted me to rehearse. We are dealing here with a fresh scent, which fortunately does not drift fully into the aquatic. You can also recognize the signature of the past 90s and whoever smells it will immediately notice that it no longer seems quite contemporary. Nevertheless it is unbelievably beautiful, the "Heaven". It has something very own and really seems to be removed from the world and belongs to the sky. It also seems a little bit sweaty, yet not unpleasant. This is mainly due to the flowery notes, which give the fragrance a special note. Consequently, it is rather flowery and fresh than aquatic. It belongs - like Versaces "Dreamer" - to the series of fragrances that invite you to dream and are more suitable for private use. Lying nicely on the sofa and letting your thoughts fly. High up to the heavenly angelic choirs. Sounds pompous, but matches the fragrance! All those who expect a modern or tyoically fresh scent here will be very disappointed and might turn up their nose, so be careful when testing and read the other great comments thoroughly before!
If I press send right away, it would normally not take 10 minutes and I would have a comment from Carsten to read below. Probably he would have written something like: "an excellent scent, which you described lively and fittingly in your comment!" Or he would have added something suitable - something missing from my description, of course polite and non-determining or even boorishly contradicting.
I think there will be some others who will also miss him very much and would be happy to read something from him again. Maybe he will come back, if not, we can learn from him. Learn to treat each other with respect. Not always to insist on one's own right and not always to be of the opinion that one can best understand and describe the fragrance. We can learn that everyone here has a subjective perception, which the scents together make more and more accessible. We should respect this - as he always did - and see it as enrichment.
In any case, I am happy to have experienced and learned a lot through Carsten and I am also very grateful for this heavenly scent tip!
Have a nice evening nice dreams
"I Am in Heaven"; "I Am in Heaven"...
