The key to Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Verano is the opening. The grapefruit note is done incredibly, which brings such a freshness and uplifting quality that one instantly feels positively awakened. The blending of complex ingredients that gives the impression of simplicity is a triumph. Montabaco Verano is a slow fragrance that unfurls its secrets steadily, but, with intent. The notes breathe life into one’s day and this is a moment in time to savour.
Thai perfumer Nutt Wesshasartat, who had been on Husen Baba’s radar for some time, was chosen for I Am Darkness because of his facility with white florals, including a key element of AZAMAN Perfumes I Am Darkness, frangipani flower, which is native to Thailand. I Am Darkness is a beautiful incense fragrance built, unconventionally, on a chypre structure.
Floridly ebullient rose fragrances are plentiful and easily found – but an audacious, challenging-to-encapsulate rose is an aromatic rarity, and Atelier Materi Rose Ardoise falls into that select category.
AZMAN Majnoon is a delicious, bombastic olfactive drama! The blast-off is mouthwateringly delicious, catching you in a whirlwind of fruits spiked with fiery spices. The main hero is coffee: nutty, slightly caramelized, hot and hedonistic, this coffee absolute is both photorealistic coffee-licious and abstract – as the whole experience smells like coffee feels like: adrenalized, alert, euphoric.
