  I let curiosity take over and ordered a decant as soon as I heard it existed. I’m fascinated by nature-inspired perfumes, especially those depicting forgotten insects like ants. No regrets; it’s an interesting aroma. The opening smells very realistically like wet earth, more like a smell than a perfume. I thought it would just be a curious olfactory experience, but the surprise came during the dry-down: after ten minutes, it became a pleasant wear-on-skin scent. It smells herbal, green, coniferous, still wet but much less. It’s like walking on the floor of a Mediterranean pine forest on a fresh, sunny morning. I also sense a very slight mossy facet that chypre lovers will enjoy. The trail is moderate-to-high and longevity is great, about 9 hours. It’s a different, personal enjoyment scent, perhaps easier to wear in society for the male crowd, though it is unisex. I’ll enjoy my decant on spring or late summer walks, even if the price is steep for the full bottle. Original for those seeking unconventional fragrances. Scent 6.5/10, Longevity 8.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 7/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 8/10. Probably won’t buy again.

  Pure curiosity led me to order a decant. I’m fascinated by nature-inspired perfumes, especially those featuring forgotten insects like ants. No regrets; it’s very interesting. The opening smells more like realistic wet earth than a perfume; I thought it would just be that, a curious olfactory experience about an anthill. But as it dried (about 10 mins), it turned into a pleasant skin scent: herbal, green, coniferous, less wet. It’s like walking on the floor of a Mediterranean pine forest on a fresh, sunny morning. It has a slight mossy touch, ideal for chypre lovers. The trail is medium-high and longevity is great, around 9 hours. It’s different and for personal enjoyment, maybe easier to wear in society for the male public, but totally unisex. I’ll love it for spring walks or late summer, though the price is high for the full bottle. Original and off-the-beaten-path. Scent 6.5/10, Longevity 8.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 7/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? Probably not.

  It has a tremendously fresh opening, almost citrusy and acidic, even though it doesn’t contain citrus. It’s a curious and hard-to-describe fragrance: a handful of wet earth mixed with balsam fir (the dominant note) and a touch of mushrooms. The composition is interesting and pleasant. It reminds me of something fresh, metallic, and herbal, with a tiniest hint of sweetness from the resin and a lemony nuance (but not sweet lemon). It’s a forest totally opposite to Encre Noire; if that one awakens darkness, here there is brightness. I like it a lot, see it as very versatile, for sport or a white shirt. It’s basically unisex, though it leans slightly masculine due to its coolness. It’s an original fragrance outside the conventional but very civilized.

  The opening is pure freshness, citrusy and acidic, even though it doesn’t contain citrus. It’s a curious fragrance: wet earth, balsam fir (the star note), and some mushrooms. It smells like a forest, metallic, and herbal, with a tiny sweet resin note, like bitter lemon. It’s the total opposite of Encre Noire: if that one is darkness, this one is brightness. I love it; it’s versatile for sport or a white shirt, basically unisex but with a cool, masculine air. Original but civilized.

  It’s a monolithic aroma with almost no evolution. The smell is very strange, acidic, balsamic, earthy, and slightly salty. I don’t know… try it if you get the chance. It smells like peyote or ayahuasca rituals. Mescaline made into a smell.

  It’s a monolithic scent with no evolution. It smells weird: acidic, balsamic, earthy, with a salty touch. I don’t know… try it if you’re brave. It smells like peyote or ayahuasca rituals. Mescaline made into perfume.

  This is a beast, very invigorating and perfect for cold weather. It doesn’t evolve much, but the opening is so good I don’t need anything else. It smells like minerals, acid, fruit, and well-camouflaged mushrooms. It’s super curious; I couldn’t stop smelling my wrists.

  It’s great, very invigorating. It smells really good in cold weather. It’s true it doesn’t evolve much, but the opening is good enough that I don’t need to look for anything else. It smells like minerals, acid, fruit… and mushrooms, but well-hidden. Very curious; I couldn’t stop smelling my wrists.

  I applied the entire 2ml vial, and right before the scent hit, I thought: ‘This is going to be my favorite!’. I love the earthy, woody vibe with that mossy and marine touch. But after an hour and a half, it was gone—just a dead floral trail left behind. The longevity and projection are non-existent; total trash. It seems Flores-Roux and Burgas missed each other’s hand. 😔

  I applied the entire 2ml vial, and in the first second I thought: ‘since I like earthy aromas, this will be my thing’. Earthy, woody, mossy, ‘little marine notes’ for summer… After an hour and a half, I was turning my neck subtly to smell myself, because I couldn’t believe the scent had disappeared completely. I repeat: an hour and a half. In that time, I only perceived a halo of dead, residual floral from when the perfume died. But as for longevity and projection… a total piece of junk. Something slipped the minds of the good folks at Flores-Roux and Burgas. 😔
