This Miguel Matos perfume starts with a burst of colors: white, black, pink, purple, and yellow. It’s an olfactory fantasy that takes you to childhood dreams and nightmares, to parallel worlds featuring characters like Bitelchús, the Mad Hatter, or Jack Skeleton. Although its name, ‘Tar,’ means asphalt, it doesn’t smell like fresh pavement; instead, it’s a staircase into a melancholic, gothic imagination filled with innocent sensitivity. The first thing you notice is a hit of star anise that gives way to sweet licorice, like those black bar candies, with a touch of pineapple and citrus for a spark. Then come soft floral notes, like the scent of a lavender field drifting on the breeze. Next comes the hard core of Tar: smoky and tobacco notes that create that classic fairy tale mist. Caramel and real tonka bean enhance the licorice and soften the nuances, because after all, Tar is a scary story for kids. It’s extremely original, a challenging composition with an aroma for everyone that will catch the attention of non-experts for how well and differently it smells. It’s another Matos creation that in a perfect world would be a best-seller. Its balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy notes makes it a gothic gourmand. And its performance is brutal: well above average. Here, the word ‘reapply’ doesn’t exist. Imaginative, fantastical, melancholic, adventurous, and sentimental, this perfume is the signature of Eduardo Manostijeras. A great creation worthy of praise for its perfumer.
