An altar in the woods.
If fragrances are declared as spicy-woody, I have always had such a quiet premonition. This would be that the fragrance with its declaration - which can sometimes be misleading, by the way - will most probably not suit me. I had it this way with "Black Afgano" and with Tom Ford's famous "Oud Wood" it was no different, which is why we'll have a look, how it is with "07 Tanoke".
At the beginning you will be given a small but fine bitter orange in your hand. At the same time, somebody's throwing a good load of black pepper in your face. The basic building block for the wort has already been laid. Nothing here is sweet, nothing sweet or friendly, as one would expect from the presence of bitter orange. The peppery touch on the fruit prevents that sweetness, sweetness or even kindness.
What follows now is almost impossible to surpass in sacredness. The incense that everyone knows, even those who have never visited a church, should be recognized immediately. It is so dominant that one glance into the fragrance pyramid is enough to smell it. Scent knowledge? Not required in this case. You already know what this is.
Incense, by the way, was not printed large in the fragrance pyramid for nothing. I don't notice the small printed nutmeg for it, which I find a pity, because I like nutmeg very much as a fragrance.
Guaiac wood? Mmh ... i don't know. I'm not registering either. But the pepper is still a little perceptible and I can tell you that peppered incense is quite interesting, different and somehow unique.
Right down to the base note, we can state that incense plays a major role. He also does this by inserting the base note, but then he takes himself back a little and leaves a little space for the sequoia, the musk and the patchouli. The musk does not appear animal-sweet here, but rather a little sweaty, if not dirty. If sweetness lovers who test this fragrance here despite their preferences hope for a little more sweetness at least in the end, I have to disappoint them. The scent remains dark, it remains sacral even through the incense, somehow mystical, as if a clergyman had set up his altar somewhere spontaneously in the forest.
But why in the woods? Well, look out!
The interplay between patchouli and musk gives rise to a musty earthiness that is not reminiscent of mud or, for all intents and purposes, of a soaked forest floor, while the sequoia exudes its warm, woody aroma. All this is encased in incense, which after a few hours is able to free itself from the pepper and envelops the warm woodiness as well as the earthy herbaceous with a cool, sacral aura. The fragrance is not cosy in any way, but rather cold, somehow repellent, but above all deep and multi-faceted. But also like with the black Afganen I come here to the conclusion that this is nothing for me. Too much incense doesn't seem to be my case, even if it fascinates me, because you almost feel the cold breath in the neck of the Inquisator
