Anfas Sa’adah by Cristian Carbonnel opens hard and heavy, raw, vegetal, and still warm like a basketcase of dusty olives. There’s floralcy there, but only in context- for neither neither the neroli, nor the ylang speak out individually; rather, they mutedly support a tonka so spicy and hot that it starts bitter…in the best way. In fact, the head is so pungent, it’s brash: the sandal notes come through slightly sour, the pine is zingy, the cedar–strong; and, over all, a tarry subtone that creates tension and increases pressure—as if the smell swells, menacing to short-circuit.
But then, instead of popping, it oozes life. What follows is smooth and strangely addictive: an irisy violet twists with hesperidic zest, terpenic accords blend with creamy fruits, and delicate green flowers get leverage through a discrete musk.
