After reading so many wonderful reviews about this perfume, even though some of them are in a negative tone, I see an enormous wealth of details and sensations that this fragrance awakens in people and, consequently, the detailed descriptions of the reviews are extended.
Sometimes even a negative description can instigate a desire to taste and have a certain scent. And that's what occurred to me!
I decided to incorporate a character with a "dark", melancholic, gothic and mysterious facet to dive into this perfume and draw my conclusions.
After reading several reviews that related this perfume to something dark, I decided that this olfactory experience could only lead me to paths I had never walked before.
When spraying this perfume, the aldehydes together with basil and galbanum give it a green, bitter, pungent air, which I notice a slightly "chemical" tone, which perhaps makes many people abhor this long perfume when they feel this exit. But I also feel a light sweet and spicy touch that breaks a little of the harshness of the starting notes. The lavender here is wild, aromatic, but with a vibe of industrialized lavender in the form of some disinfectant product, not that the perfume itself feels like a cleaning product, but this opening is like opening a heavy, dark door, that squeaks as you pull it. This is Oscar pour Lui's welcome.
After a couple of minutes this unfriendly opening reveals another denser phase, and this is where the magic of this perfume happens. Walk around a forest in mid-autumn, leaves fallen to the ground, a cold night, thick fog and a mysterious aroma of woods and leaves being swept by a mysterious breeze.
After a few minutes, the middle notes take over the aroma, pulling a little of the base notes with them, at this stage I feel a musky, dense and somewhat "dusty" floral touch, as if they picked up some flowers still without blooming and slowly their petals lost the liveliness and smell of the fullness of your existence. This gloomy floral carries with it a woody feel that resembles rustic furniture made with some hardwood. Cinnamon is notable, giving it a spicy, dry and slightly sweet air, very slightly. And along with this profusion of notes, the leather and moss notes stand out, giving all the strength and personality of this perfume. The leather in this perfume escapes the feeling of polished and polished leather so common in contemporary fragrances, this is a leather that reminds me of an old shoe shop, where the leather still had an animalic and acrid smell, as well as the moss that mixes with the leather leaving it with a dense, greenish and woody aroma, something almost "botanical".
Wonderful descriptions have already been drawn about the dark character of this fragrance, but to contribute from another perspective to this imagery, I cite some other fictional or real characters who would delight in using such essence, such as the villain Hannibal Lecter, Colonel Hans Landa of movie Inglourious Bastards, the psychoanalyst physician Sigmund Freud or Michael Corleone of the Godfather.
I also see a scene where men are in a club, playing and drinking, dressed in pinstripe suits, smoking cigars, sitting on leather armchairs listening to Blues or Jazz.
Having and using the Oscar Pour Lui is an act of resistance, a breath that embodies the antithesis of everything that is launched and desired today.
