Bloody Mary on the Rocks!
Vodka, limes, piquant red chillies, saffron, slightly sweet celery and a cool breeze over the Mediterranean. This has a icy liquid aroma, I am not imagining it, I swear! As is the case for me- red chilli scents turn very green pepper on my skin within minutes and become overwhelmingly herbaceous... Red Harissa is no different. Dry down brings out a funky dirty musk- which I interpret as more masculine than feminine. Sillage is light and intimate- which if you're going to sport this one, I highly recommend a very light application. I am going to guess that on the right guy, this could turn into a long lasting spicy-herbal musk- perfect in the heat. On me this is as unsettling as a Six Flags roller-coaster ride after a sushi & sake binge! I think it is pointless to say "this is not what I was expecting" because, really-what was I expecting? This is ground breaking olfactory entertainment, one shouldn't really have any expectations looking at the notes. Does this smell just like spicy Harissa sauce? Doubtful. Is it unique? Well, definitely! I am comparing 3 tomato/tomato leaf-centric fragrances today...this is the first and we are off to a grand start. This is quite an amusing sauce, indeed. A must try for the true Aficionado.
