smoky echo after party in tiger cave
After meeting in the hippie store for a glass of absinthe, things got a bit out of hand. A battlefield of incense sticks torched in a bet, intoxicatingly excessive togetherness, probably dancing to the Doors. Alternating time-lapse and slow-motion, colorful reflections of the disco ball sometimes dazzling. In between, there had also been a tiger. He lounged next to the belly dancer on an oriental carpet and lasciviously sharpened his claws. At some point, everyone wanted to scrub the tiger together and fill a tub with floral foam. Of it the skin has become then also cuddly soft.... and then they had a great time snoozing in the cuddly amber cushions. The next morning light spice dusts in the nose remind of the wild night.
____________________________________________________________

Tiger's Nest opens with a bulky, scratchy absinthe incense upbeat, which, reinforced by the aldehydes, creates the impression of wildly exploding incense sticks. Not gentle and relaxing, but alert, wild and hallucinogenic. Along with the saffron, there is also something animalic in the scratchiness - untamed, a bit like rough fur. As it progresses, there is an almost soapy impression, probably due to the animalic florals wrestling wildly with the incense. Here, fortunately, the rose does not push itself into the foreground with me, but it lets the fur seem a bit cleaner in the interplay with osmanthus and YlangYlang.
The incense-soap impression then lasts for quite a while, until the softer notes join almost placating and appease the tiger. At some point the scent quiets down a bit, amber, vanilla and tolu balsam take over, it becomes spicy-balsamic, not too sweet. Dry later (papyrus). Peaceful.

Tiger's Nest I find quite appropriate as a name for the fragrance. In the tiger's den was neatly celebrated and rolled, all overgrown by indolic flowers. Exciting. Intensive. I like it very much. Whether he moves in with me, I do not know yet. He makes with me already neat Radau.

(love thanks to Susan for the test possibility)

The gentle side of the predator
This scent is not that of the tiger itself, but of the moment in which it rests vigilant and yet there is an inherent danger, because the predator is aware of its sublimity at all times. In Tiger's Nest, gentleness and strength, warmth and darkness merge with each other, creating a thoroughly mysterious aura.

Memo hasn't really interested me so far because - with a few exceptions - I'm not a big fan of leather and that's actually the brand's flagship. But this summer in Florence I succumbed to the beauty of the city as well as to the beauty of this perfume
Frankincense as the central note is often a little too harsh and dry for me, but Aliénor Massenet has managed to give this slightly sacral note a completely different twist with spicy and balsamic notes. Tiger's Nest is warm, enveloping, dark, but especially at the beginning it has a subtle green facet in the form of absinthe. I only perceive the floral notes very subtly, but they certainly give the fragrance more body. The dryness of the papyrus' is only minimally accentuated, while tolu balsam and a hint of vanilla create a more sensual and cosy atmosphere and fortunately are only accompanied by a very slight sweetness.

The texture of this rather linear fragrance is so dense that I find it difficult to filter out further notes clearly. In any case, I particularly associate with it the color black, but also nuances of green, yellow and brown. It can be perceived on the skin for a really long time and also creates a quite strong silage over many hours. Therefore it falls best into the categories 'evening' and 'special occasions'. Since I also have a slightly wistful side to it, I have written down a few more lines:
A gentle yet decisive step,
one last look and there is no way back.

Like a tiger, you roam alone in the dark Holding on to you - a pointless attempt.
Only at night do your eyes sparkle,
while silence envelops us like a silken cloth
The graceful stride includes much more
than the limited space it visibly occupies;
i miss walking in him too much while our time is running out far too quickly
Even if you draw bigger circles than me,
i want to be the victim of all your beauty But if you flee for your freedom i don't have the courage and I can't catch up with you
When I met you, I was unaware of the danger A tiger is like a cat only in its sleep.

1001 night...
scheherezade lies on the tiger skin, her long slender fingers playing with a sparkling topaz. she looks into the fire in a pensive way.
it smells of her skin, saffron spicy.
flower petals exude the melancholic breath of first withering.
a fine sharpness lies in the air... her clever narrow eyes are lurking on the sultan. when she moves silently like a cat, heat and paper vanilla steams from her silk veil.
the chain above the nose clashes quietly,
her breath, amber warm, puts the sultan in shimmering restlessness
a breath of unpredictable danger runs through the room
a candle burns up hissing....

Incense and balm
A really beautiful fragrance. I like every phase. The massive scratchy absinthe incense prelude, to the beautiful balsamic drydown.I like it here especially well. The scent is very incense-heavy at first whiff, which lasts and should be liked. Vanilla amber with meditative dominant tolu balsam soon mix in, rounding off the incense and softening it. Exactly these two phases has the fragrance on me.

A powerful but still somehow a cuddly scent that I wear for me for meditative well-being.

Return to the living incense
Background: Perfumos send me samples, I then test the perfumes sent without any knowledge and describe my response - that of an inexperienced dilettante.

Imagine you are surrounded by incense. You have no chance of escaping its animalistic claws and from now on it will always be with you. In front of you, behind you, next to you, wherever you run... It's already there, oozing out of every bottle and mercilessly misting around you as if it's trying to drive away the Incarnate One himself.
Ok, I'm exaggerating a little. But the incense present here really does twist my mind. Frankincense is not just frankincense, there are brands such as "Sauna", "Soldering Grease", "Eau de Pipi Miaou", "Gothic", "Yoga" and "Fruit". But the little fruit here really let the beast out in the opening. Fir balsam could still be in there. Fortunately, it later becomes milder and sweeter (honey or vanilla?) until, in the act of drying down, it becomes a spicy, pithy melange from the joyful, resinous jungle of Germania. Somehow I can hardly imagine it on a woman, unless she occasionally strangles unfriendly gentlemen with her braids, like the animalistic Princess Swawa of Denmark. But maybe I don't have enough imagination! And the opinion of the ducal expert (5)?
Thumbs down without a word! What a scathing verdict from the beetle-crunching blonde from the Saxon undergrowth for such a high-quality perfume. In my opinion, wrongly so, as it has a rustic, archaic charm.
