The Untold Story Of The Magic Mineral
As far as cosmologists know, there were only three elements present when the universe first formed about 13.8 billion years ago: hydrogen, helium, and lithium. As one of the original three elements, we find lithium throughout our atmosphere. The sun, stars, and meteorites burn intensely with the flame of this highly reactive element. On land, lithium remains a vital mineral component of granite rock and lingers in significant quantities in seawater, mineral springs, and soil. Lithium has also found its way into the batteries of our cell phones, electric cars, and holiday fireworks. Every organ and tissue in the human body contains the mineral lithium, which is essential for brain health. Lithium [³Li] by Nu Be is an aromatic and spicy fragrance created by Nicholas Bonneville’s nose. The bouquet features notes of mineral, woody, earthy, spicy, leathery, and floral accords.
I do not know how Mr. Bonneville composed this fragrance, as Lithium [³Li] interprets a metal translated through cedar and iris, with an almost mineral density. On my skin, the scent greets me with an explosion of hot cumin, with that something reminiscent of body sweat and rather pungent, unmistakable, and dominant saffron. But after a few minutes, it calms down, becomes pleasant and wearable. Cumin is still present but has a pleasing aroma. Acidity, bitterness, plump, moist, strange fruity, spicy, and liqueur are soon accompanied by a sweet warmth that reminds me of gummy saffron candies kissed by salt, melted by heat, and placed in some stone fireplace. The metallic effect came from Saffron, Cumin and an “iron” effect from Patchouli.
The finesse of the dusty rose, and the intensity of the iris give life to the heart. Rosewater extinguishes and moistens, enhancing soft and delicate waves of smoke, refreshed by the flowers. A sort of masculine pink, on the darker side, with a hint of gourmand quality. The primordial smell of flint and leather blends with saffron’s soft warmth and the ephemeral freshness of the rose. There is also a subtly creamy, powdery note that smells like feminine cosmetics, like a cream. It is a light and soft, warm scent with great versatility. Warm and sultry rose and cold geranium form a link between the metallic opening and the mineral dry-down. They blend very well with saffron.
The dryness is a harmony of contrasts with the persistent presence of woods, cedarwood, patchouli, and the softness of musk in antithesis with the spicy opening. The musk is immaculate, almost leathery and metallic on my skin, taking it to a whole new level of dark saffron-pink scents. Iris and cedarwood accord create such a dry, sharp, and mineral effect.
Lithium [³Li] is an exceptionally well-made perfume, saffron is almost suffocating, and the rose is deadly cold, patchouli and spices enhance the rose’s cold and dryness, making this perfume incredibly dark and gothic. I smell my pulse and remember why I love the rose note so much; it is versatile, and Lithium [³Li] is another perfume that proves it. Lasting potency and sillage are both moderate. The spicy and leathery theme makes it preferable for the cold evenings of the early autumn months. If you like all the pink-saffron genres, you might as well try it. The combination of rose with spice in the fragrance is nothing revolutionary, but here it is done with finesse and ease that is worth trying.
This review is based upon a 100ml bottle I own since March 2021, which I ordered here www.parfimo.it and paid €19.50.
