This fragrance makes a statement
Great! Sprayed on, and this scent is immediately PRESENT, bitter, tart and strong from the start, I like that!

Above all, this is an amber and tobacco scent throughout, but not smoky, just clearly tart, almost really bitter. I keep sniffing my wrist. At first, I hardly smell any honey for a long time (fortunately for me), and only a little yuzu. Nothing soft, warm and cuddly! Yes, I notice ozonic notes when I read that in the pyramid; I probably wouldn't have thought of it myself: The bitterness and astringency are not constricting or oppressive, but leave room to breathe.

After an hour, the amber-tobacco dominance becomes a little more translucent, allowing a leather note to come through. After 2-3 hours, it becomes very slightly sweetish, or rather warmer, with a hint of honey. Not honey-sweet!
Later, after 4 or more hours, the sandalwood becomes very subtle and beautifully embedded,
and some non-sweet vanilla.

This fragrance is very clear throughout, it makes a statement. There are days when it is too much for me. But when it fits, it's wonderful!

Sillage is good, especially in the first few hours, long-lasting.

Flacon:
I got the sample from pernoire's (subterranean, poorly packaged) sample set and therefore only know the bottle from photos. The black bottle with the dragonfly would get 10 points from me if it weren't for the shiny ball, which is really a matter of taste...

Masar, a new take
I first heard of this perfume from a friend of mine, he said he loved it because of the intensity it provides.

I was curious about the scent so I went ahead and tried the sample.

At first, I was surprised at the very citrusy smell of the perfume. However, I really started adoring it after about 10-15 minutes. The scent is unique and I love the sweetness of it, it just feels sexy to me, I don't know how else I can describe it.

It lasts a very long time, as I could still smell it after 3 days when I picked up the shirt I was wearing that day, I sprayed it for the first time. I caution anyone trying it for the first time. One tab is enough to keep you going for a full day in my opinion.
My friends noticed this perfume too, it's a conversation starter for sure. I almost don't want to tell them as I want to keep it a secret.

Who dances with the resin
I would like to introduce a project to you. Based on a crowdfunding the story of pernoire started. Two perfume-interested guys from my hometown Basel had the idea to develop perfumes with the help of the community. Whoever buys a perfume is automatically "entitled" to contribute with ideas. Perfumer is Vincent Micotti, who is not unknown and has brought out a few great, as well as very controversial fragrances with his brand YS-UZAC.

pernoire advertises with 100% Swissness, refers to the high quality raw materials, the limited edition of 1000 pcs. and an exclusive right to be able to bring in the development of other fragrances with. Price-wise we are at 50ml / CHF 250 (230 EUR)

You have the basics, let's get to the fragrance.

Short sour yuzu opening, almost a bit ethereal. Then the resinous-smoky wave that is relatively concise. Unsweet dark berries are backed by unsweet and dry vanilla. Exciting. Here "Blackmail" by Kerosene comes to mind as a comparison - but that was more fire / woody / smoky and not resinous-smoky like Masar.

Something pungent in the nose I feel a synthetic (which is not necessarily bad) either the "ozonic notes" which I can't find anywhere else, or is it the synthetic amber which was used? AmberXtreme has the same effect on my nose.

After an hour, we have thick, warm, golden amber with a leather tinge. A little smoky, too. This part reminds me of Carner's "Rose&Dragon" (though that one was more floral)

Then the scent gets more subtle, creamy. Sandalwood, vanilla and resins create a thick texture.

After 3h, the fragrance becomes a little sweeter-animalic. Reminds in the drydown of Malbrum "Tigre de Bengale" and of Nishane's "Afrika Olifant" (although that one was a bit stallier-oudier) and Black Afghano Nasomatto.

Something interesting happens at 4h, a slight gunpowder scent spreads. This is exciting!

The scent then remains constant resinous-creamy and slightly sweet. Very pleasant.

All in all, a great amber resin fragrance. The scent remains very linear and constant. Sillage is in the middle range, durability is very good (12h). It is not a revelation, but a consistently solid, well-made fragrance with great durability. Whether this is now worth the 250.- bucks, everyone must decide for themselves.

After a bitter spicy-citric opening, this dark and smoky, animalic spicy-resinous fragrance, settles on a warm and smooth spicy-woody base.
