O thou dark one
No, this is not about the three question marks (???) and their case, but simply about the fact that this fragrance fits perfectly into the Christmas season without being overwhelming and without obviously standing out from the crowd. However, you would expect this from the price, because it is quite something. You have to put a few green bills on the table for this fragrance. It is supposed to be special, almost complex. But is it really?
First things first: the fragrance is wonderfully creamy, cuddly, with a hint of "sweet darkness" tonka bean, which sinks deeply sensual into a warm sea of jasmine, while gentle cinnamon flakes and rich fruity notes melt into the whole, as if they were just waiting to combine with other components. A crystal-clear wind blows, which only brings a few icicles and creaky spices with it over time. A muffled depth full of tobacco and warm accents soon opens up. Here the angels sing O thou dark one, instead of O thou merry one. Snowflakes drift in your mind, it crackles in the fireplace. Tobacco becomes much stronger over time and has a beautiful relationship with jasmine. Tonka bean is always emphasized, which produces one of the most beautiful sweet scents I have ever smelled. You sink into the fragrance as if it were made of fluffy black clouds. Rounded off with a hint of high-quality alcohol & some tuberose, which is really velvety here and in no way shrill, as is so often the case.
A very fine specimen, but for a few euros less, it would be absolutely passable in all respects! The price is not justified. Other houses can also do this well, but for much less. I now have it at home as a sharing bottle and that's ok, but paying for the fragrance alone is quite a hole in the budget. So be it! If it hits you in the heart, you'll get it, but it's not enough for the 10 for me. It's a beauty, perfect for winter, with a subtle, sinister and absolutely brilliant sweet touch, but in my eyes there's more to it!
Durability and sillage are in the upper range, not to mention the bottle.
Beautiful deep dark black, with red/gold accents. Heavy in the hand.
Also looks good on the shelf.
