NeroIncenso

Basilica opens with a lovely light and quite fresh sweetness. A warm milk mixing with the soft slightly smokey incense. It's so calm and magical. The milkiness does create that image of cool white marble and stone, mixing with the musks and incense you do feel calm and very peaceful. I also get a minty feeling in there, that was explaining ass probably the rosemary and thyme mixing, but this does create a fresh still coolness through the fragrance. As it develops a little more that calmness very much remains, the milkiness does move back for the lighter musks to move in, there's also a lovely fizziness in there. As you go into the dry down that cool stone milkiness does come more prominent again. It stays calm and cool.

A joy to wear and very unique

Stiff sheats of parchment branded with iron-gall ink, sweat-soaked and tattered robes, pestle-beaten herbs, goat hair, a long-unwashed beard. If you’ve the bravery to journey through the skanky and disorienting haze of cumin, you’ll find something revelatory, almost even sweet: Radagastian, feral, cryptic, scholarly, incensy, benevolent, unsettling, musty, mossy, medieval. Grimoire lingers and lingers, like dust from a bygone era.

Truly evocative scent !

DEV #2 is a mesmerizing fragrance that brings you away from your feet. It brings to your knees a smoky note, root aromas, spices mixed with leather and musk. The richness of the composition is enormous, the projection is even greater. The smell of devilish, smoky and rebellious ⠀
For me yet to be tested in solitude or in good company, because the reactions it can cause can be unpredictable. ⠀
Personal scent experience, without the big Wow, Oh and Oh, however it remains in the memory. As a niche scent, it plays its role, so its presence pleases me even though it is a dark and crazy devil

This fragrance is like a tantalizing cocktail of passionfruit with a splash of leather and oud, a combination that has captured my senses since I first encountered it. After finally acquiring a bottle, I’ve been wearing it for days now, and its projection is simply remarkable. Initially, it bursts with the lush sweetness of passionfruit, but as it settles, delicate notes of wood and subtle leather emerge, beautifully enhancing the fruity essence.

If you have the chance to snag a bottle, don’t hesitate—this scent is truly irresistible.

This is unmistakably a gourmand fragrance that will have you walking around smelling like a chef in a pastry shop that was sprinkled or doused with more than a few shots of whisky and rum during his/her last coffee break.

With a healthy dose of dark powdery chocolate coupled with an almond accord emerging from the heliotrope note, Elevato Al Cubo is certainly for those that enjoy sweet fragrances and the added booziness just helps to keep this potion from becoming sickeningly sweet. Instead, you're confronted with a dark boozy gourmand with a somewhat complex structure as notes like rose, honey, whisky, rum, vanilla, chocolate and wafts of smoky incense reveal themselves in various stages throughout this olfactory experience.

An obscure gem and one of the better gourmands out there !
Very high recommendation
