Redemption

“I never did good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue,
Want an ax to break the ice
Wanna come down right now”
This fragrance is inspired by David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes".
Song that wants to give us a shock and encourage us to get out of the smoke that envelops us, not throwing away our life, but living it full.
Here we perceive the darkest moment in which we are enveloped: absinthe and woody notes create a very melancholic atmosphere, supported by an incensed base, which, in my opinion, could also represent the beginning of a spiritual redemption.
Not innovative, but really pleasant, I would wear it in the autumn season.

Cosmic things

On the merry asteroid one drifts lightheartedly through space.
The weather conditions are sometimes a bit rough, but you won't see any of it under the gigantic glass dome, which must have been built on the flying wreckage by some Californian idiot or god himself.

Here everything is fine-grained, mineral, the pulverized rock of the surface fortunately oxidized by a sufficient amount of oxygen. This would at least explain the mint-green colour that has settled over the silvery, subterranean blue.
When you are tired of weightlessness, you let yourself fall into the dry dust, which, because of its density, makes you float like an invisible river over the floor of the chapel. The scoop is that the fine dust grains in the mouth condense to a liquid, sweet and sour lemon sherbet not unlike, of course, supplemented by the strange minerality and an indefinable, ethereal green, so that basically no boredom can arise or, if it does, is quickly driven away with a leap towards the dome roof.

An infinite silence emanates from this pebble, which gently measures the eternity, so that one can overlook one or the other planet rattling by.
In the state of gliding on the thick mineralik pond light years pass quickly...

The sight of the earth is of unmistakable beauty. Whether they will like my traveling souvenir?

Smoky forest

First of all i must confess that i cant be objectif with this review because ashes belongs to a type of perfumes that usually i dont like. It is very woody, like CUT wood, with some smoky vibe because of the incense and a balsámic and spicy character, not sweet at all. I can feel some quality in the ingredients but honestly i wouldnt wear It. I already have cedar forest by Ponsa Barcelona and both perfumes are very similar however i would prefer the Ponsa one because i feel It more natural. Although i never go out with It sometimes i spray It st night because i feel It very relaxing. Ashes is the perfume that i have liked the less of the black collection by franck boclet.
The longevity is not bad although It is not great. It is suposed to have a concentration about 40% but i dont feel It intense or dense. I feel It more like a normal eau de parfum. I think it is for daytime use, better with not very Hot weather because the Woody and smoky character.
