Holscentbar

I believe this is one of the most versatile works in the musk collection. It opens green, resinoid cannabis (the most realistic ever tried) like having a bud in your hand, to become at times more musky and sparkling. The evolution looks like a green cola with a slightly dark, light indolic flower background. Everything is truly balanced and slightly creamy given by the sandalwood at the end where the more musky animal part that was present at the opening magically emerges to my nose. I could place this as SM's brother but less animalic and with a similar sparkling structure

I find this formula successful in this collection. The start is animalic and my nose perceives a sweetish note as if it were hay, very pleasant. The scent is dark but not too dark, with undertones of birch tar (very far from CdR), which I find to be a tamer brother to W&P2. I can perceive the evolution clearly, feeling the leather softer here, lots of castoreum but zero floral parts. I think it's safe enough for a blind purchase by those who have already experimented with ALD, with decent portability

It might be nonsense, but I'm often testing this and comparing it to the beloved Atlantic Ambergris II.

I'm sure AK can't replace ALD, but for Atlantic lovers, good news for me, the vibes can be there.

Atlantic is spicy, ethereal, deep and red. Mineral parts combined with resins make it a masterpiece of modern perfumery.

Amber kiso is darker, dirty and leathery but with an amber in the background worthy of being smelled.

Can I tell you they look alike? no, but that have similar vibrations yes.

Enjoy

The perfume Racquets evokes a sense of tranquility.

It reminds me of something from the past, although I'm not sure exactly what.

Early days of spring, towards evening, with the warm air.

At times, there's also a scent of cleanliness, as if there's a carpet covering an old parquet floor.

This is a beautiful composition from the well-known English brand.

A fragrance that leans towards the chypre genre, green, citrusy, and powdery, while still maintaining a certain softness and creaminess.

It opens with citrus and green notes, immediately giving an idea of where it's heading.

Lavender, ylang ylang, and some spices smooth it out, making it fresh but at the same time floral.

After a few hours, the fragrance still maintains this green and fresh impression but with a powdery undertone.

Very elegant and in my opinion, perfect for a spring day.

This is a fucking masterpiece. I haven't had such a beautiful and complex perfume in my collection yet (I have many).

This is fruity at the right point, a little animalistic, green, earthy and leathery.

One of the most beautiful releases in this 2023.

Beautiful packaging, perfume and storytelling.

Very raccomended
