The sublime blaze
Can there actually be fragrances like serialized novels?
You have grown fond of a magnificent fragrance and keep it in your collection for years.
And then, all of a sudden, a new interpretation of the theme comes unexpectedly from a completely different corner and instantly inspires you.
I would like to thank two perfumers for this.
Kokusai for the beautiful sample in the guessing game.
Kreisquadrat for his detailed and brilliant review.
This fragrance and its much older brother in spirit One Man Show Eau de Toilette prove that incense can work very well far from the sacred.
Despite all the differences in structure and composition, both fragrances share a common direction.
What sets them apart is the evocation of a yellow-green aura, the elevation of the woods with herbaceous, smoky ethereal resin and the brightening with citrus fruits.
But there is much more to this fragrance.
I have the association of an alchemical miracle.
From a golden amber, the listed amber, escapes spectrally a massive color spectacle of mandarin, elemi resin and cedarwood.
From solid to gaseous state.
And this is called sublimation.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, giving too much away.
On the other hand, I can't help myself, because such hidden things are difficult to convey.
For what was just below turns out to be above. And vice versa.
Do you fancy an unusual fragrance experience?
Sizzle!
The magic of the moment.
Immediately enchanted by an incredibly cheerful and unusual atmosphere.
Mandarin in its sunny ripeness, juicy, coveted from time immemorial.
Bergamot gives way to elemi resin, which lifts the nose and senses in an ethereally citrusy way.
However, this golden resin points to another relative, amber, as the source of pleasure.
Extremely restrained at first, beckoning from the depths, subtle and waiting.
The various stages of the fragrance will reveal this.
Green notes refer to magnificent Mediterranean herbs.
As impressions would be:
Basil, rosemary and lemon thyme.
Well-dosed, wonderfully French "perfumed", only the inner wall of the vessel rubbed with it.
Anyone who has ever smelled such a bouquet garni, French for bouquet of herbs, knows that sometimes less is more.
It's the subtle essence that counts.
And the herbs remain subtle and thus fulfill their purpose. Their tart green vein is merely intended to support the focus on the resins, to emphasize them.
The mediator between bright, citrusy elemi resin and warm, supple amber with enclosed vanilla - amber holds many a precious way of life - is the successful cedarwood of the heart note.
It smells wonderful in the glistening Mediterranean sun and offers space on its branches for all the other components.
Not imposing but capturing.
A nostalgic postcard from the 1980s is signed with clove.
Tone on tone with the resins, it anoints golden, forming an almost soapy connection with the essential woods.
And it is precisely here that Nathalie Koobus perhaps unconsciously quotes the bright spark of One Man Show Eau de Toilette. Back then, however, inflamed with glorious cascarilla.
The effect is the same.
A mystical green flame blazes barely visible in the shimmering air.
All the components are thus lifted into a higher form of being, so close to the ideas.
The green modulated incense (thanks to the discreetly grassy vetiver), which does not need a constricting prayer room, helps here.
And the secret core of this invigorating energy is amber.
Steadily calm, it will always bring its refreshing essence back in due course.
Fascinating that an otherwise autumnal golden preciousness is now allowed to sublimate in the highest summer light.
Great things have been created here with simple means.
The circle closes and yet is so invigoratingly open.
Bruno Truchon Bartès, founder of La Manufacture Paris, is not only a connoisseur of the fragrance industry, he also understands the magic of old castles and monasteries in France.
His quest for timeless fragrances with references to these very estates is particularly successful with Admirabilis.
And I can only confirm his statement that the fragrance is "addictive".
I can't detach my nose from the spray.
Something inside me craves more, enjoys energetic things.
The fragrance captures all the mysteries and hidden knowledge of Fontfroide Abbey near Narbonne.
Hats off Madame Koobus, Monsieur Truchon Bartès!
But now I continued the novel.
If in One Man Show Eau de Toilette I let the hero feel the liberating power of the fragrance on the beaches near Montpellier, now he can drive a few kilometers further towards Spain.
He has been able to gather life experience, knows about the fast pace of past fashions and the permanence of the true, beautiful good, perhaps also about the coded secrets of what is written between the lines.
He will play "Blown a Wish" by My Bloody Valentine on the ride, that unwieldy piece of music of spherical, intangible sublimation.
The talking resins of the scent will whisper to him the most beautiful image of the Romanesque cloisters of that abbey on the wonderfully wooded slope of silence.
Once there, he will feel at home, as if he had never been away.
The centuries-old architecture, healing herbs of the garden, protective trees with refreshing resins.
He memorizes that.
And if necessary, he tricks the timeline and brings everything back to mind with the scent.
So little is enough to be happy.
