The birth of Adam, The Sin, The Exile
O'Driu, Ladamo Pentito. A very poetic perfume.
L'Adamo unveils an olfactive saga that focuses on the creation of the first man, Adam. To my nose, it goes through three distinct phases, that I associate with three chapters of first man's creation, The Genesis, The Life in Paradise, and The Exile on Earth.
The Genesis. L'Adamo hits you hard in the opening with a strong smell of wet earth, and roots. There's also the spicy, fiery touch of ginger, and other spices, all of which bring about the birth. Crawling from the depths of the Earth, through the creative power of fire, and into the world. I love earthy accords, so the opening is marvelous to my nose. It smells incredibly true to nature, very powerful and raw.
Life in Paradise. The middle part of the perfume shifts drastically to a phase where floral notes and sandalwood dominate. The sandalwood smells close to the Indian variety, and for the florals, I detect sweet, powdery mimosa and fresh, fruity magnolia. This phase is incredibly soothing, and comforting. Waves of creamy sandalwood washing over sweet florals. A promise of eternal Paradise indeed.
The Exile. Ladamo shifts again, and now dry, spicy tobacco as well as earthy patchouli take over the scent profile. These elements perfectly fit with this part of the story. The spices, mainly fenugreek, are hot and sweet, hinting at the fires of eternal damnation and the perpetual lust, the propensity for sin. The tobacco is very dry and full of flavor, the most dominant element of the composition, and it hints at darkness. The patchouli symbolizes the return to an Earthbound home. From here on, it stays on this spicy tobacco and patchouli theme for many hours, until it fades away.
The transitions are very smooth, almost imperceivable, although the three stages feel drastically different from each other. That's a sign of excellent craftsmanship. The perfume smells like it's all-natural to me, or very close to all-natural. I have tried and own quite a few of Angelo's creations, but this one is truly the most exquisite so far.
