  A legend is born. I received this as a gift, and on this Epiphany, what better than a story. I tested it with the movie Wolfhound. The fragrance tells its story: a survivor boy sent to mines, who challenges his master and frees himself. I perceive a burst of bergamot and red fruits, followed by juicy and sour-sweet leather. Then birch, oak, and violet, a wet and oily sensation. Clean and musky leather. Our warrior Wolf brings pure mountain air and a freezing lake. A bat on the shoulder, leather on the wings. The leather becomes spicy, dry, and hot with spices like nutmeg and oregano. A resinous touch, like tar. It reaches a cursed city with warriors, heat of bonfires, red-hot iron, and burning wood. Protecting a princess, the leather of his garments and caravans is deep and animal. In the enchanted forest, swamp, lost souls, and fire defeat the darkness. Fog and weeds. Life-or-death struggle, fights, screams, sweat. The rider’s leather is worn, soft, and hot. Unbearably sensual. A healer cures it alongside the princess under the moon. Happy ending. The base is spectacular: woody, wooded by oak and birch, warm and luminous thanks to amber and a soft incense. It is sensual, wild, enveloping, with strength and passion. For cold, day and night, soft and powerful, with notable longevity. It starts strong, softens, and reappears. I love that it’s unpredictable. It’s been over 12 hours and it’s still going. The presentation is elaborate: strong square box, heavy porcelain bottle like a billiard ball, painted with riders, white and black horses. Black cap and red bottle, passion and death. Evokes matryoshkas. I hope the girl I am never disappears. Thanks to the Fragrántica team for this perfume that is the embodiment of a dream. In this time of solitude, these fragrances open doors to being who you want. A place where the impossible happens, where the invisible becomes important. We are magical creatures full of essence.

  In the dry-down, you notice something fruity, it lasts seconds, and then the leather, violet, and animal note enter. For me, it’s linear; it smells the same from there until the end. The only difference is that the castoreum softens over time. The main notes are leather, violet, castoreum, and a woody base. The leather feels rough and the violet is wet. I don’t like the castoreum at all; it smells unpleasant. Gradually, it becomes less unpleasant to me, but it never becomes pleasant. The performance wasn’t good, weak. I could smell it but with little power and low longevity. It’s masculine and for cold weather. Personally, I didn’t like it. The other perfume from the brand, Enchanted Forest, I liked a lot, and if it weren’t for the price, I would have bought it, but this one has nothing to grab onto. As leather, there are better options on the market. I don’t understand what the castoreum is doing there; it gives a bad smell sensation. If we look at the price, the only thing that can happen is that we burst out laughing.

  At first, there are fruity notes that last just a few seconds before the leather, violet, and animalic tones take over. To me, it’s linear—it smells the same from start to finish; the only change is that the castoreum softens slightly over time, but otherwise, it’s identical. The key notes are leather, violet, and castoreum with a woody base. The leather feels rough, and the violet is wet. Then comes the castoreum, which I personally hate so much that it actually disgusts me. Gradually, as the animalic aspect fades, it smells less bad, but I’ve never liked it. The performance wasn’t good; it was quite weak—you could smell it, but with low projection and short longevity. It’s a masculine scent best for cold weather. Personally, I didn’t like it. The other fragrance from this brand, Enchanted Forest, I loved, and if not for the price, I would have bought it, but this one has no redeeming qualities. As a leather perfume, there are better options on the market that sound more realistic and smell better. I also don’t understand why castoreum is included here, because it gives off a bad odor; in other perfumes, even animalic ones, it doesn’t smell off. And considering the price, the only thing that could happen is that we’d just laugh.

  This morning, in a hurry, I showered and sprayed this without testing it. Puff, I ran to the bank. Oh my god, if I had known, I would have had a worse day. It stuck in my stomach; with a coffee, it was itching to get out. I don’t know if it’s the perfume or if I woke up messy, but it got stuck in my nostrils. It was a mix of leather, violet, and animal notes, a bit unpleasant. It had a background that gave me a stomach ache. Sometimes it smelled like diesel, like filling a jerrycan and sniffing from the nozzle. This lasted the first 2 hours. Then it dropped and left a much more pleasant smell, but the start was unbearable. The dry-down is fresh and sweet with nice fruity nuances, but it lasts nothing. Now it releases an intense mix of animal notes, leather, and violet. Sometimes it smells like tarred violet, other times like diesel. It’s rare, although the violet tone with non-wild leather is nice. Until the animal notes drop, I don’t like it. After 2 hours, it becomes soft and pleasant. The performance is regular, it doesn’t match the price. It lasted 6 hours on skin, with wide projection at first and then almost skin-level. It’s a night and cold-weather scent. It’s original and breaks the mold, but test before to avoid a surprise.

  A young, prenatal, super-soft leather, with vegetal nuances and tender wood, not woody. I’m surprised that tarragon, cucumber, tomato leaf, and nutmeg are so low, although I noticed them and the ambergris right after spraying. Land of Warriors can be anguish-inducing: it smells like a cauldron cooking young skins with vegetables and raw wood. The oily castoreum and raw birch wood give it a lingering body, almost carnal. It’s one of those perfumes that smell “like birth.” It didn’t seem bad to me. It reminds me of greasy eighties leathers, like Liz Taylor’s, with that feeling of a freshly opened corpse and musky vapors. It opens with a horrible tone of a plastic castle or a pool mat, but disappears in 15 minutes. After an hour, it reminded me crazily of the dry-down of Emporio Armani per Lei. Longevity is regular and the trail is short. I didn’t like it because I don’t resonate with its notes. More than Vikings, it reminds me of Willow.

It stuck in my stomach; with a coffee, it was itching to get out. I don’t know if it’s the perfume or if I woke up pachucho (messy), but it got stuck in my nostrils. It was a mix of leather, violet, and animal notes, a bit unpleasant. It had a background that gave me a stomach ache.

  Land of Warriors is difficult in every sense. I like it, but it’s a hard dish to digest. Abstract, avant-garde, and rare. I appreciate the bravery. It smells of intense red leather, embellished by violets, kitchen herbs, and a touch of castoreum that disturbs. It clings to the skin mercilessly, like an alien parasite. It reminds me of Knize Ten, but it’s a nightmare of fever. Sweet, but gangrenous, not like cake. Sharp and cutting. It seems eighties but out of place. It’s the most realistic representation of an inflatable castle. After an hour of a chaotic opening that turns your stomach, it calms down and its trail is moderate. The longevity is good. Thanks to Remy for letting me try it many times; it’s one of the most psychotropic perfumes I’ve tested.

  Weird, but very weird. I have a sample of Bofifa that I never tried out of fear. I struggle to imagine who would wear it; it sounds like Freddy Krueger or the Werewolf. It’s difficult, unsettling, and unpleasant for me. It smells like a horror movie with no escape. It’s lightyears from normal (only Blood Concept comes close to this anguish). Don’t buy blindly; the price is high for the risk. I don’t have a feeling for it and don’t recommend it, though it becomes more normal as it dries.

  I was blown away. I ordered decants from this house (without the floral version) and, after reading it was plastic and artificial, I expected something unusable. What a surprise! It smells fresh and wearable. I understand the synthetic opening, but for me, it’s an aromatic scent, slightly fruity, like a modern body gel. It evokes Celtic warriors in a green meadow with a blue sky, not tough guys smelling of leather. It doesn’t last long and is commercial, less challenging than I thought. Maybe reformulated, because it doesn’t match what others say.
