Smell like Finn
My favourite film is called "Waking Ned". This delightful but unfortunately quite unknown Irish comedy, which was nevertheless nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film at the time, is about a man on a small Irish island who wins 7 million Irish pounds in the lottery - and stupidly dies of shock. The 52 residents of Tulaigh Mhór - the name of the little village where it all takes place - figure out what happened and figure out "How do we get the money?". If you like a great story, great landscape shots (shot on the Isle of Man) and Irish folk as a film score, this film is highly recommended. Best in the English original, insofar as you can cope with the Irish accent.
Now what does all this have to do with "Lui" by Mazzolari? Well, in a subplot of the movie, there's Finn. And Finn loves Maggie. Maggie actually loves Finn too, but doesn't want him because he stinks so bad. Because Finn is a pig farmer, which is why he's called "Pig" Finn. That comes with the appropriate smells. Even all the perfumed soaps Maggie gives Finn are of no use. So it looks like nothing will come of Finn and Maggie, and Maggie will rather turn to the rich but unscrupulous Pat Mulligan. But see for yourself ...
Anyway, "Lui", which I'm enjoying a bottling of thanks to the lovely @Ragadoodles, has exactly that pigsty character. Yes, I admit it doesn't smell like you were wallowing in the mud right next to the pigs. The patchouli and sandalwood provide more dulcet tones that fit very well in this composition. But the amber, the musk and perhaps also the spices contribute yet very much to a strong animalic-sharp note.
At the same time, it starts very pleasing and harmless. The first impression is chocolate. Chocolate filled with orange cream or something similar. But do not be fooled! This one is sneaky! Because the pleasing only lasts a few minutes, then Finn's Pigpen reveals itself in all its glory. The longevity seems good too. The sillage seems strong to me. So you have to be a little careful, you do not want to suffer the same fate as Finn.
For me, as a friend of the cultivated Animalik, there is a whopping 10 points for this work. I like smelling like Finn when I can smell like him. I already have my Maggie (ok, her name isn't Maggie, but whatever). So there's nothing more that can happen. And Finn is really a likeable guy. Just like that "Lui".
