Walk in the pine forest
Recently I went in search of incense scents with vanilla undertones. After thinning through the database for the fragrance "incense" and reading all relevant advice threads in this direction, I found Soul Batik on my test list.
So we got a specimen and we were ready to go.
The smell:
The bergamot in the top note is shy and quickly evaporates, the cardamom is slightly medicinal here and this also continues to be weakened by the fragrance.
Soul Batik quickly turns out sweetish and very dense with vanilla and amber. The present incense darkens the fragrance.
All in all, the scent makes me think of heavy, dark fabric, a thick winter scarf or a cuddly blanket in front of a crackling open fire.
With time, Soul Batik becomes drier, warmer and spicier and also slightly woody, in the background a soapy aftershave note plays along, but it is really only very subtle.
I can't smell patchouli or earthy notes.
Conclusion:
When spraying it on, I feel transported directly into a cool, dark coniferous forest. The air is rain moist and resinous-spicy. In spite of vanilla and amber, which try to warm up the scent in a sweet and spicy way, the overall impression of the scent remains cold, just like a cold, dark, misty autumn forest I personally see the fragrance, despite its sweetness, more on a man, due to the subtle, subliminal racial water/soap note.
Although it is rather heavy spicy and dark, I find the scent quite wearable during the day, as long as one doses sparingly. I can well imagine it as a signature with recognition value, for example, if you like to travel in the fragrance direction.
For the incense/vanilla scent I'm looking for, the focus of Soul Batik is not enough on the combination of incense and vanilla, but rather on the resinous impression.
So for me the search continues.
