Giardino di Ercole's initial impression is evocative, offering a slightly sharp and spicy greenness with a subtle touch of smokiness. As it unfolds and evolves, it gradually settles into a warmer, more resinous character, featuring woody and musky undertones. This transformation lends the fragrance a sense of sophistication and refinement that is both captivating and enduring. The combination of these elements creates a complex and elegant olfactory experience that lingers on the skin, making it a truly remarkable and memorable scent.

I got very interested in Thomas Kosmala perfumes after trying several of them in New York last winter, and Arabian Passion (not so well known in Europe) captured my attention with its pronounced dark, complex, oriental facets.

Dry woods is the base supporting all the other notes and enveloping them with a dark, slightly heavy aura. The elegance is definitely here! I'd say it's leaning clearly to the masculine side. Iperfectly imagine a self confident gentleman proudly wearing it.

Totally safe for a blind buy, nothing animalic or overwhelming. Strong sillage and longevity.

My first idea when smelling this creation from Jul et Mad was "something really unconventional". This is an example of a true "niche" fragrance which confirms that fantastic creativity and originality exist and we can still be surprised (even if it's getting more and more difficult). Amour de Palazzo perfectly transforms the original idea into the alchemy of scent and feeling.

This is a complex, elegant, noble blend with a remarkable dose of leathery darkness and sparkly aromatic spiciness. The spicy opening with a leading nutmeg note warms up quite quickly on the skin revealing the hidden soul of this perfume shows... As if a heavy dusty velvet curtain opened letting in the core elements, leather, patchouli, labdanum and cedar, that come to stay. I perceive just a tiny bit of violet which delicately adds some softness to the blend. The charm shifts to a rich, slightly dusty ambery base which is enhanced by castoreum, oud, musk and papyrus.

Entering deeper and deeper into the passageways and ballrooms of an old luxurious palace, discovering its secrets and histories hidden in each dark corner, under the polished wooden furniture, covered by a layer of dust and baroque nostalgia.

Creamy sandalwood and gourmand notes accompany my senses all through the whole opening layers, each richer than previous. There're also elegant spices, warm resins, suede, boozy rum, cognac and cherry liquor, oud, guaiac wood, tonca, fruits... Ambergris is also here, peaking out with it's softness.
Darling is rich, very rich and multifaceted creation. Brilliant!!

Feelings drowning in a tequila bootle... Songs and tears wrapped in the dry Mexican desert wind... Delicious caramel flan in her mouth before kissing her goodbye... A cloud of spices and cinammon... Spines of tragedy in a passionate love story...

Scent of contrasts that beautifully blend all together. The tragedy becomes cozyness on my skin. It's a unique gourmand fragrance for the non-gourmand lovers. One more masterpiece of Rasei Fort in my fragrance collection. Particularly cherished one...
