Smells a bit like Monolith and reminds me of stepping into Bodybell. It’s green, smoky lavender with lots of tonka bean, almost like Allure Extreme, and dries down to a balsamic amber note. The lavender is herbal, avoiding those urinary nuances that can sometimes be annoying. It smells good, but since it’s not very versatile and the price is high for what you get, I’m not adding it to my collection. By the way, perfumes at 2 euros/ml seem cheap now, but the quality-to-price ratio on the cheaper ones is usually worse. Thank god for discounters and exceptions, haha.

Starts with a metallic, smoky lavender that, mixed with incense, gives off a strange and original scent. As it dries, the tonka bean appears, soft and almond-like, nothing plastic like in designer scents. The lavender persists, but the burnt nuances fade and the woods come up. I find it more masculine and suited for cool climates. It lasts longer than the average Lutens, but while it’s interesting, it doesn’t win me over: the blend can be tiring and the tonka gets cloying. Plus, lavender isn’t my favorite note. I’d try it once, but I wouldn’t buy it for my collection.

I like it because it brings back childhood memories: a day in the countryside picking lavender and putting it in the fireplace along with orange peel.

Uuuffff! I hate it. Smells like burnt lavender, smoke, just smoke.
