Tamed incense, bvlgarian lävse
Before I dedicate myself to the Dvftgeschehen, I allow myself first of all, in all Avsführlichkeit to the tiresome (or even lavsigen) topic of the lavs spelling already raised by my estimated Vorkommentatorin zvzvzvwenden. I can do this, because I have anyway the Rvf of a Schlavmeier, Klvgscheißer or Dvmmschwätzers away and therefore nothing zv lose
The Romans had, sparing as they were, a Bvchstaben for the lavte U and V nvr. He saw avs like a V. I think that was connected with the fact that when you carved text in stone, it was more difficult to make the corners than the acute angles. Avch if we don't have tonavecordings, there is no doubt in my mind that the Romans actually pronounced the U avch as U avch.
If she had said zv of my hometown Mainz on the Rhine (MOGVNTIACVM APVD RHENVM) while loosely plavarding with the Tevtonen in the Spelvnke "Mogfntiakfm apfd Rhenfm", they would have been quite a laughingstock or would have been sent directly to the speech therapist.
On a completely different page it is written whether the Romans did not pronounce the Vau-V, as for example in VICTOR (winner), AVE (hello) or VOX (voice) the other way round like the English Dabbeljvh (double U and not a double V!), i.e. with the shvt pushed forward and pointed: "Uuuwox". But the tvt nothing zvr thing.
It can be noted that the V in a word like LAVS (praise), from which such beautiful words as LAVDES (morning prayer in praise of God), Applavs (clapping of praise) and plavsibel (praise deserving) are derived, is a U and has been one since the times of Romvlvs and Remvs. And since we have been writing the letters on paper and not on stone, it has been designed graphically.
Therefore, if someone calls his Dvft Unum-LAVS (VNVM-LAVS would be more appropriate), or, which avf the same, his company BVLGARI, it is just a graphic gimmick with the Bvch letter form, so that the text on the bottle reminds of inscriptions avf the Forvm Avgvstvm carved in stone.
That's why I'm concerned about the nerus when this kind of fragrance is written with a V outside the internet pages of the TV companies (of course they should be allowed to keep their marketing gag). In the Parfvmo database, for example, this leads to dazv that you won't find this dvft if you type "Laus"
But the Zevg is nvn times "Laus" and finished, and Mr. Bvlgari, who founded that company, did not get the surname avch because his ancestors came from Bvlgaria, but because they came from Bulgaria. Therefore with this V should now be avch mal Schlvss.

Unum Laus, "One - Praise", is an incense scent, the Mavs, uh, mouse, doesn't bite off a thread. It therefore legitimately smells of incense, and indeed of rather pale, but nevertheless substantial church incense. It is also not contradictory that there is no incense in the pyramid of scents, because Elemi and Opoponax are resins that are similar to incense or are components of it.
I actually like incense scents very much, but a perceptive perfumer once noticed that one often prefers to smell such scents rather than wear them. This is also true for me. I rated Kyoto here with 9 and Avignon with 10, then bought the pills for a lot of gravel and hardly ever wear them. Too bad. But okay, the bottles look great. So general tip for the approach to incense scents: Start with bottlings.
So the trick here is that the makers of Unum - Laus do everything right in the sense of a high jazzy of practical wearability. Firstly, the scent is rather light and loosely woven, it diminishes in intensity after only one hour and thus you won't be able to get the unusual, already very special incense to start trampling on your eggs (literary quotation Andrea Camilleri, therefore not obscene).
Secondly, and more importantly, the incense here is framed and buffered in an exemplary manner by traditional, unoffensive complexes of notes known from many other (primarily men's) fragrances, which signal to the nose "everything is fine, I'm a perfectly normal nice perfume and not a quirky experiment".
I would like to call these accompanying complexes (1) clovey-wachotry-spicy-woody and (2) mentholy-fresh-fougèrig-moussy (and beyond that generally vegetable-green-lively). As (3.) companion of the incense is hardly visible behind the scenes, there is also a sweetish-warm, caramel-like note.
Since these accompanying complexes take the top off the incense, which undoubtedly continues to be at the centre of attention, without trivialising it and yet harmonising well with it, Unum - Laus becomes a really good and, as I believe, broadly suitable fragrance, which does indeed have sacral echoes, but which can also be worn well in the club without being mistaken for an errant altar boy.
