On my pagoda
About Lillipur I would actually not have to make any more comments, everything has already been said and told in many great reports. But there is something special I want to talk about.
If you are looking for an airy and bright incense, you will not get past Lillipur. If you get your fill here, you will find yourself on mountain peaks in Asia, turning at prayer wheels, seeing monks in red robes praying and hearing the chimes in the wind.
I'm impressed by the entanglement of the ingredients used in this composition - that's really great class and allows one to conclude the high quality of the raw materials used, as well as the fine hand of the Terenzi's.
The cinnamon predominates in the beginning, a thick slice of sweet, earthy, freshly cut cinnamon bark. Sensational. Then follows a liquorice note, the interplay of star anise & galbanum.
The antipode to spicy-sweet is a cool, metallic, bitter lemon, which, it seems to me, comes from lemon, violet and Szechuan pepper. Everyone who has ever bitten on a grain of Szechuan pepper (or lemon pepper) knows the fresh tingling on the tongue before the tip of the tongue becomes numb. Plus the intense lemon taste. So similar here in the fragrance, tingling metallic-citric.
These contrasts consciously run through the entire fragrance. Fine, dry incense & sticky, moist amber & benzoin. The musk with the cashmeran, which gives an airy, slightly salty freshness & then the spicy tobacco with the patchouli, which create a warm and spicy base in the drydown.
In this sense, we have all representatives of the six tastes from the Ayurvedic teachings together: sweet, sour, salty, hot, bitter and astringent. The tastes are linked to the five Mahabutas: Fire, water, earth, air and ether. All six tastes should be present in an Ayurvedic meal - this represents the perfect balance for body and mind, according to the teachings.
This brings us back to the main theme of the fragrance, Terenzi was inspired by a visit to a Nepalese temple. The theme is thus fully met.
The scent path is relatively linear, there is no traditional scent pyramid. Especially here it is more likely that over the whole period of the fragrance's effect, different notes become more intense and then disappear again. The flashing of individual notes from a wonderful total work of art. Wearing the whole thing gives a feeling of balance and satisfaction - a kind of deep satisfaction of the senses.
Durability is above average, Sillage is good, clearly perceptible to others in the first three hours. The scent is clearly unisex and can be worn all year round - in summer it cools, in winter it gives warmth.
Zen scents. This one is a Zen fragrance. Zen scents are very suitable for use in turbulent times.
