Give him time

The Perfume Guy presented the fragrance in a Top 20 Smokiest Fragrances. As I like heavy, smoky fragrances, I wanted to try it out. Searched, found and ordered for around 130€. The package arrived a week later. With a handwritten thank you card for the order, a few more samples and a few sweets I tested the fragrance immediately.
Tadaaaaa, the disappointment was great. What I smelled was not even close to what The Perfume Guy had described.
I smelled something soft, mild, nothing meaningful. Great, 130€ down the drain.
After a year in the cupboard, I rediscovered the PK Perfumes packaging.
The liquid has darkened considerably. I sprayed it and immediately had a smile on my face. THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED! The scent is dark, smoky, resinous. I smell tobacco, honey, smoke. I think the fragrance is wonderful. It lasts a good 10 hours on me and very few fragrances manage that as I have dry skin. For lovers of dark, smoky fragrances, a very clear purchase recommendation from me! This is my first review, please be kind to me. :)

By the Fireplace of Memory

Maderas de Oriente Oscuro is easily associated with dark burnt woods. For me it's a kind of return to olfactory memories linked to a Portuguese fireplace in the interior of the country.

It feels like I'm having breakfast with homemade honey in front of a fireplace in a village lost in the interior of Portugal. Outside there is cold, rain and the winter wind. Inside the house, we huddle by the fire and the smell of sweet smoke clings to our skin, hair and clothes. When we go to sleep, we take this smell from the fireplace into our blankets and our dreams.

On the skin, the perfume opens strong and with a complex, rather smoky aroma, as if we were really feeling burning woods close to us. But I don't feel the smoke like a liturgical accord. Rather like a burning of aromatic and resinous wood caught in a dark forest dotted with moss and mysterious mushrooms.
In the intermediate phase, the sweet notes of honey and cherry can be noticed, which comfort and tame the initial spiral of smoke. There's also a hint of blond tobacco and an earthy, spicy vibe.

It is not a creation for beginners but for those looking for something different and conceptual. A perfume that will not bring “compliments”. It is not an easily “wearable” aroma, but rather for those who dare to dive, probably alone, into a profound and radical almost meditative experience. An experience in which we don't care about exterior “compliments” but only about being sheltered in our interior landscape. Where we feel good.

BBQ in the forest

Such a unique scent. Before I got a sample from it, I was unable to imagine a scent like this but it's working. Not an office scent but it has this occasion kind of feel to it.
Definitely not a blind buy, but worth the experience if you like smoky, bacon like smell.
Really weird at first, but brings back memories from our childhood Masterpiece in it's unique category.

Moss bedded, wind-breathed...

Where the oaks stand and listen for eternity, over the lagoon and moor, lies the land of dark forests and crystal lakes. It's full of living souls and dark shamans.

Deep in the forest it smells amazingly strange, like huge quantities of fresh wood chips dipped in the cherry glaze of grandma's poppy-seed cake. It smells earthy, musty, but also syrupy, sweet and moist green, like the sigh breath of the forest after the rain. Tears of old trees also roll, separated by elements, trapped in the sweet pain of memory.

It only took a moment when I applied Paul Kiler's new fragrance until I was reminded of the East Prussian Song in a flash. I took the first movement as a sample, from which the rest of my intro followed like an avalanche.

"Maderas de Oriente Oscuro" is a seduction with intentionally built-in hurdles. The scent literally seduces me into something I didn't know I wanted. Nothing here is direct or crude.

Paul Kiler uses the erotic language of vague suggestion. The American knows perfectly well that attraction alone is not enough. So he created obstacles to overcome.

The fragrance starts off brilliantly, but remains in the balance for a long time afterwards and lets me feel that patience is needed here to fully experience the style and aesthetics.

Sugared wood shavings of all wood species are the seductive greeting of the fragrance at the opening. I smell the cherry glaze in a flash with light creamy overtones. Sounds obscure, and that's exactly what it is. The scent is dark - even dark, incomprehensible, unknown and overcast.

The fragrance goes through so many stages; from woody creamy to sugary green to ambry earthy. I would like to define the last station of the fragrance as tobacco heavy woody. All in all, it's a fragrance of a special class. I would like to compare it with the designs of haute couture. The scent is grandiosly oblique and I like it extraordinarily, in all facets.

However, this special fragrance will not be Everybody's Darling. He's way too complicated for that. I would like to compare it with early works by Philip Glass.

Paul Kiler also uses tons of (scent) tones to show off almost minimalistically. That's the beauty of this fragrance. It feels like a journey where we concentrate on the passing images to realize that although the images change the country is still the same, beautiful and reassuringly at home.

Paul Kiler is a gifted perfumer. He's as "nischig" as you can be "nischig". I thank Paul for this fragrance that makes me forget time and world, moss-bedded, wind-breathed..
