An Emotional Nightly Walk in NYC's Central Park
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, the determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. Whisky Red was a great discovery, and among all the Whisky options, this is the one I like the most. Its spiritual redolence takes me to New York City, a gentleman walking on an autumn night in Central Park, a breeze blowing through wet wood bringing the last roses blooming scent.
It opens up with a gentle touch of spicy, sweet, and floral bergamot supported by a blast of bitter galbanum mingled with juicy apple, which lasts a few minutes before the minty and balsamic green cardamom kicks in. The bright opening is citrus, with a whisper of fresh spicy and fruity accord.
The heart is mysterious, softly woody, odorous, the cedar is tempered by the floral touch of masculine blue lavender blooms and damask rose petals, the resulting aroma is a kind of like oriental, yet the rose is silent and not so sumptuous as in the Arabian men's scents. Whisky Red gets now an emotional vibe, more sensual, and elegant, with a warm spicy and sweet harmony.
And then comes the drydown, balsamic as a Turkish hammam, smoky as a burning incense, mossy as a wet oak lichen, luscious as a custard cream. The base notes can be surely recognized one by one, the rooty vetiver in its smoky facet, the resinous Peru balsam, the sweetly roasted tonka, and the pungent and bitter oakmoss.
Meseems Whisky Red is fitting for colder seasons, fall, winter, till early spring, preferably for a night out, a dinner with friends, a nightly walk downtown. Both longevity and sillage are moderate, conceivably most of the valuable components are synthetics considering the ridiculous price of a 100ml bottle, merely 10 more euro. In my opinion, this cologne is closely akin to YSL La Nuit de l'Homme, they share the same vibe with a delicate touch of rose added in Whisky Red. Red is the color of the silent rose's petals.
