Welcome to the Orient
While my friends and acquaintances were asking me about my oh-so-large perfume collection (the most frequent comments: "what do you need so many perfumes for?"), I was still very happy with my perfume collection "do you want to open a perfumery?" "do you still need that?") every 2m asking for advice what great fragrance I could recommend and how I would like the Dior sauvage, I learned the following things through Parfumo:
1. My collection is in the lower midfield in terms of number and quality.
2. There is not only good or bad (there are hardly any scents where I think: not possible and even less wow effect scents)
3. I have/have absolutely no idea about perfumes
The most important and decisive point for this comment is clearly the third. For 32 years, of which I count about 16 as conscious, I have been denied oriental fragrances by single-minded ignorance and maybe a little arrogance. Where was the view over the edge of the plate? Past Dior Sauvages, Acqua di Gios and other contemporaries, which are not bad scents at all, but do not bring the effect you want to achieve with a perfume. Individuality, authenticity, freedom. Isn't that what we really strive for? But no, I walk through such interesting places like Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Hebron, Amman and and and and... And I refuse to have a truly new experience with a local scent. Sad, actually. But now for the day of awakening, of resurrection if you will.
In the morning at work, of course with the same expressionless perfume on your skin, check your emails, a message at Parfum? OK, check directly. I get a perfume, mega am happy what it is for one? A Rasasi, never heard of it but "actually" I am open for everything (you have seen the last 16 years... Idio...). And of course I'm happy about the great gesture. The next day the package is already there, so unpack it, and behold, the Rasasi has been joined by another scent... Leather oud? Orientica? Never heard of it either. Just sprayed into the lid and was more than excited about this great, extraordinary scent. But that is not what makes this scent so special.
2/3 days later we go out for dinner with friends. I know the location, full noisy restaurant with open kitchen in the middle of the room. Great to look at but the steam and therefore smell extraction could be much stronger. So now I decide to go for this great new scent I got. What was it called again? Oriental? Anyway, it smells very good. Dressed up, got in the car and off we went.
The fragrance found a fine transition to its heart note during the journey and further into the base note and that's where it happened. I found the scent good to very good at first, but now the smell made my scent receptors dance. This mixture of sweet raspberry and the leather just blew me away. Never before have I experienced such a strong development and differentiation of the individual notes, and I was thrilled. Not only me, many questions what an extraordinary
Smell I'm wearing then gave such a great feeling. After the meal we turned night into day and even after 8 hours the smell was still good and relatively far smelling.
Even the next 'morning' (I got up at 13.00) my whole bedroom smelled of Orientica leather oudh, yes, now I knew the name, it was burned into my head. That was probably because I was not able to shower at night and the shirt I was wearing had taken up one side of my bed
All I want to say is that this fragrance is a great introduction to the world of oriental fragrances. After a strong introduction comes an even better main part and no end at all :D. After the Rasasi is at least as good for me, I am finally one step further in the teaching of fragrances and have now learned to know and love oriental fragrances
Now a little sermon that must be. My big thanks and the 'dedication' of this article goes out to fog woman, only through you I could get this extraordinary experience. Furthermore thanks to the great community.
Good night together
