The metamorphosis of the Tanoishi
Lovers of flowerless and largely fruitless, rather dark fragrances often ask themselves what this "oud" is, which is so often indicated as an ingredient in fragrances. And to answer the question, especially in view of the fact that in the vast majority of fragrances oud is not even present in natural form concrete, would be like giving a catchy answer to the question "How does wine taste?"
Oud includes not only a huge spectrum of very different manifestations, but also within an oil many different notes show up in different strength, duration, frequency and connection with other notes. Who would like to experience a wide range of my favorite notes that occur in real oud oils, is welcome to join me on the journey with and in "Tanoishi".
Like so many ouds, "Tanoishi" is largely built around the theme of "woodiness". What a wonder, these oils were after all "born" in the wood. And like most oud oils also "Tanoishi" runs with time from dark to light. This is certainly also due to the diminishing radiance. Whereas good oud oils are very persistent and not infrequently far longer than 24 hours detectable.
"Tanoishi" starts off dully woody, slightly animalic with little smoke and a spike of essential resins that get deep in your nose. More and more of those ethereal streaks of medium green permeate the dark brown wood and dissipate. What remains is a piece of rutted old root rotting in the morass of a shady forest lake.
A short phase, reminiscent of damp wood chips and tart leather, follows and initiates the unstoppable brightening. The wood now turns red. Further ethereal swaths now evoke associations with red wine at the bottom of an old wooden barrel. With the fragrance, which reminds of a mixture of plum jam and wine, the participation of fruits is completed for the time being.
For it follows the middle section of dark woody, powerful oud, as I can not describe it otherwise by now, so unique is this fragrance. In this stage of metamorphosis, the fragrance lingers for a long time before a further lightening occurs. Honey and toasty aromas from the toasty crust of a black bread join in.
Before the scent ends with a mesh of drier light wood, some dried fruit and medium leather, notes of sherry and whiskey barrels keep coming up in the transitional period.
I think that now many understand from the account why oud is the only ingredient that is included on Parfumo for itself as a fragrance.
How I got the fragrance - A little digression:
The sadness that Koishi, of which I have a sample and which had so swept me off my feet, was no longer available, was followed by the joy of a souvenir from PallasCC. She contacted, unbeknownst to me, just Adam from EO. He recommended her the at least 95% identical Tanoishi which she then gave me on the occasion of our little oud festival. Thank you dear PallasCC, the great Oud expert ♥.
