skyward

We sit around the campfire. It is a spring evening and already dark; it is cool, but the fire warms. It is quiet, no one is talking. Lost in thought, we watch the flames stretch towards the sky. Someone has applied patchouli - I detect it now and then, ever so slightly and subliminally. Who it comes from, I can't tell. It's not my friend, he's wearing incense today.
He steps closer and hands me a large cup of black tea. He meant well and put 4 sticks of cinnamon in it right away. I take a sip. The taste of cinnamon fills my mouth, and its smell drowns out that of the burning wood. My friend sweetened it. Good, strong forest honey settles on my tongue.
It's getting colder. I move closer to the fire and press my hands to the cup. I want more of the smells that surround me.
After some time, the group slowly disperses. The Patchouli person has already left, and the fire is just an ember.
I put away the cup, which has been refilled a few more times, and we make our way home. Longingly, I look back.
In bed at night, just before falling asleep, I still have the taste of cinnamon in my mouth, the incense of my friend in my nose, and the smoke of the fire in my hair.

En Voyage chez l'Artisan perfumer: 7 Mon Numero 10 - scratchy soft cinnamon

This will be my last comment for the time being on the "En voyage chez l' Artisan Parfumeur" series.

I always found the brand "l'Artisan Parfumeur" very exciting, because it brought out great fragrances that I like very much and at the same time smell special or different. That not everyone in this forum sees it that way became clear to me when reading the comments on "Mon numero 10". Especially the perfumer "Bertrand Dechafour" is criticized for throwing more and more perfumes quite unimaginatively and in the shortest time on the market. The Mon Numero fragrances at least all came out in 2009, along with 4 other of his fragrances. In total there are 211 perfumes in 26 years (perfume database). Well, that's a lot - as many as successful perfumers of "mainstream brands". It also makes me think, I'm also more of a friend of low-frequency output. Of well-designed perfumes that take time. And some fragrances could have been saved for my taste as a niche house, but that was just my opinion when testing
Mon Numero 10 starts off biting, scratchy, accompanied by the scent of freshly felled trees and wood, as smooth as laminate.
There are very few notes here and I can't smell much more. The focus is undoubtedly on cinnamon, much more spicy than sweet. The sweetness I feel cloudy and light, no sticky Tonka nectar. Very pleasant, it has nothing overwhelming. Frankincense shows itself in its mildest form, soft, discreet, unsmoked. From a distance it smells like fresh cool dough, which is intended for Christmas pastries. Wonderfully soft, but not unmanly. One looks for a course in vain, which I find a little pity. Only the sweetness just described interacts with the scratchy form of cinnamon, which together with pepper stings the nose wonderfully I like that, but it's not quite enough. A cinnamon scent of this kind never occurred to me before and would be great as the base of a perfume with a thrillingly cheeky flow. It's a bit too simple for me
I think the scent is absolutely wearable for each sex, but preferably towards autumn or winter, in the middle of summer nobody wants to smell cinnamon.
I find it nice that it is not too strongly projected and therefore never seems penetrating
Thank you very much for reading my comment.

Thrilling – with the same cold caress, as the cold air, when you ensconces yourself to a shadowy place from the warm sunshine.

It begins with a mystic floral-spicy frankincense, I suspect cloves, so the scent is borrowed from mulled wine, shadow and anise. It levitates above my skin as the look of a wicked lurker. The lurker leans against a stone wall in the old town, maybe in the French baroque era. It gets sweeter, but its smile is still evil and very old.

A lady comes in long, rustling, heavy skirts, her skin is creamy white, her dress is grey and black velvet, with difficult lacing. Such a sweet courtesan! Her kiss is opulent and gentle, with deep red flowers, sweeter than expected.

MON NUMERO 10 ends with an unthinkable deep red royal fragrance. Real amber maybe? I do not know. But I will not wear this fragrance on weekdays, I will wear it only when I am at home, alone, and I can pay enough attention to its mysterious transition and historical air.
Please keep it highly respected. Do not believe to the test paper, do not believe the cap odor. Do not let yourself hurry. It unfolds his/her true secrets only on your skin, slowly, step by step.
