Grapa r fume 1

I want to preface that I'm a women since it seems this has been reviewed by men thus far... I received a 1ml sample of this based o nthe mushroom note since I love earthy and damp smells .... And I love it. There is something so special about it. It has this weird soda pop smell too it that I can't describe and yet it's earthy and projects out like a speaker from your body blaring a very niche tune that only a handful of really cool fucking people know. I was almost brought to tears at how much I love this scent and what a genius Adi Ale Van is. I wish I could get my hands on a bottle I'm not sure what I'll do when it is gone. It is one of my most favorite scents in the WORLD.

This is the hardest to describe perfume I've ever tried. It's blended in such a way that I find it ni impossible to point out certain notes but I can try my best to describe it. It has this very fluffy cloudy vibe, like the fluffiest puffball mushroom you've ever seen. It takes that fluffy musk of blamage by nasomatto, cranks that up a few notches and trades the fruitiness with a damp earthy character that still comes off quite light and airy. This may sound strange but if the idea of "grey area" or "middle ground" was a fragrance this would be it.

This fragrance is wonderful. It's very strong, so I'd recommend it only for specific occasions, but it has a very unique personality. It starts strong, and almost piercing, but not cold. It's more warm, but not sensual whatsoever. It's like a log cabin, filled with people, although you don't know them and they don't like you. It starts off with a very strong alcohol smell, but after a couple minutes, once it soaks into the skin, the alcohol fades. It then turns into a very nice mix of very light vanilla, some musk, deep woods, and some other scents I can't seem to place. As it progresses, it doesn't change much in smell, only becoming stronger, and less warm, over time. At the end, it seems as if to be back to the same place it was, as warm as before. Grapa r fume 1, along with many other fragrances by Adi Ale Van, is more like an art exhibit, an experience, than a regular fragrance. It reminds me of a forest. At the beginning, middle, and end.

Starts off as super earthy and grounded. As if you’re in the Northwest (Oregon or Washington state) forest after it finished raining. The bread not is there giving it a cabin in the woods like feeling. As it dry down, the fruity notes and rose comes out as if apart of a candle, but still in a way in which it stays true to perfume. It’s an all-season fragrance but specially for the summer I’d prefer night time.

To me, this was not as bad as people make it seem. The opening was a bit weird as the bread note kinda of gives it this musty yeast note but on my skin it goes away pretty quickly. It then turns into a fruity woody scent, but the woods are from a damp Forrest(in a good way). Wouldn't personally get this, but it was nice trying this out.
