Ummagumma

I am a novice when it comes to fragrances. In general, I smell like nothing. I find scents to be overpowering and distracting. My sister, however, is a new collector and introduced me to the world of Fragrantica. I stumbled across FZOTIC, and I appreciated the deviation from department store colognes that give me a headache. The reviews for Ummagumma were so compelling, I couldn’t resist. I had no expectations, only curiosity—and a hope to be disarmed. I’ve always loved vanilla, smoky scents that don’t lean too sweet, and musks that stay grounded, avoiding spices that are too peppery or patchouli-like. I sprayed once on each wrist, and I paused. Not in awe, at first—but in confusion. This did not smell like any conventional perfume I have ever come across, it smelled like a place. I couldn’t name what I was smelling at first, only that it felt nostalgic I had expected mystery—a winter evening in a bottle. Cold nights warmed by a shared flask with friends. But instead, on otherwise unremarkable day in May, Ummagumma offered me something far more personal. Before it settled, it smelled like graham crackers around the memory of campfire. And then it unfurled into the steady idle of a truck cab heated just enough by the midday light, the kind that makes you drowsy, eyes fluttering closed, as paper receipts on the dashboard stir in breeze just enough to keep you from drifting off. This is exactly the scent of my grandmother’s old Chevy—the one she used to haul horses, where I rode in the back seat, legs sticking to the vinyl, heart content. I haven’t sat in that truck for over a decade: the faint sweetness of cherry ChapStick, the worn leather of bridles, the musk of sun-warmed dust, and that ever-present smoky-sweetness I could never place as a kid. When I was older, I recognized that vague, elusive vanilla scent as the faint residue of Swisher Sweets, enjoyed in solitude on long drives when she was finally alone. Ummagumma is a spell. I just have a sample of it but will be purchasing the full size, and I hope it is never discontinued. I am so grateful that I get to experience a reminder of my childhood in a bottle.

This takes the sweet golden incense of Amber Absolute as well as the smoky tobacco leaf of Tobacco Oud (without the dirtiness) and drowns them both in pure cocoa powder. I cannot express how much I love this. The cocoa somewhat fades with time but it's always there in the background, making this fragrance uniquely compelling. I see it has been compared to Slumberhouse Ore - they share a similar cocoa note, but instead of incense, Ore mixes that cocoa with dry woods. They're both great but I find myself more drawn to Ummagumma, perhaps because it's the stranger of the two (though reminding me of two of my favorite Tom Ford fragrances doesn't hurt). It performs a bit ambiguously though: it has great longevity, but it can be fairly airy with sillage that fades in and out. Perhaps I'm experiencing olfactory fatigue, but my impression (unlike some others here) is it has intimate projection after 20 minutes or so. Of course, you can always just spray more - with a fragrance this addictive, it's hard not to. Edit: This lasts for more than 24 hours on my skin, though it's mostly a tobacco leaf accord by that point, very similiar to that of Tobacco Oud's drydown. There's still a touch of chocolate, but it's very faint. And upon further testing, it seems the projection is not as close as I thought - olfactory fatigue definitely plays a role in making it seem that way but others can smell me for some time. I'd say 3ft or so for 4-6 hours, not bad at all. This is an incredible fragrance!

Deja Vu. That's my first impression. I feel I've smelled this before, but I can't remember the name. It is somehow reminiscent of a lot of incense-themed scents (Heeley, Tauer, Mandy Aftel, Sonoma Scent Studio) thrown in with some chocolate Bond-T, and a resinous Serge Lutens. The familiarity however, does not breed contempt. This is luscious. While it is not exactly like any of the above, I'm trying to recall where I smelled something similar. But what do I smell? Chocolate (Boom!) followed by pipe tobacco and flanked with a delicious Vanilla Tonka (not gourmand somehow). This is the 90% chocolate, dark, rich, lush, barely edible chocolate. Within 10 minutes, those three predominant notes comingle beautifully with woods and incense, almost smokey, but not like cade, more beautifully sweet and fragrant smoke. This is a well-balanced, deep dark fragrance that after the first hour lightens into a more amber-incense themed scent, a bit sexy but also comforting. The silage is moderate, not particularly great after that 10 minute opening, but the longevity is moderate to long. This is a hit! I wasn't keen on the name though I love Pink Floyd, but the scent is quite good. Thumbs up here.

Ummagumma is surely Bruno Fazzolari's most delicious composition yet, a mostly-gourmand blend of cacao, labdanum, vanilla, tobacco, and woods. It's sweet, creamy, resinous, and woody. Quite likable for lovers of sweet and gourmand fragrances, similar but not as a sweet as Kyse Perfumes Oui Plus as Ummagumma lacks the graham cracker vibe, it's also a bit like Slumberhouse Ore but without Ore's signature pepper strength. Tobacco gives Ummagumma some character, as well, rounding out the sweet/woody pairing with a slight edginess. Carnation and leather are listed notes, as well, but I don't really detect either. Perhaps the leather just mixes well with the tobacco, though. Performance is very good, strong in both projection and longevity. Based on the performance, the $125 for 30ml price is more warranted for Ummagumma than perhaps for any other of the house's offerings. This very well might be my favorite release from the house to date, along with Five. Very impressive, a gourmand creation that is nonetheless sophisticated and even restrained in certain ways but certainly amounts to an amalgam of interesting notes, expertly blended. Bravo to Bruno! 8 out of 10

I got this a few years ago and it's a TOTAL love. It's so weird, so left-of-centre, so PECULIAR. I get Sahara Noir vibes -- I tried to add this to the 'this reminds me of' section, and it instantly vanishes, suggesting someone else already did this, and it got voted down. Dark, stinky, resinous, balsamic, chocolatey. Love. It's different to Ore -- more resin depth. It's different to Pale Fire -- more umami / gourmand elements. Look, it's not an easy wear, I probably couldn't wear it in the office without getting side-eyed, but I do indeed love it, and it's such a great addition to my collection. Definitely for the colder months, and more of a day use scent -- I wouldn't want to go to bed with this cloud around me, I wouldn't sleep too well!

Superb. Ummagumma is a slang term for sex coined by a Pink Floyd roadie in the late 1960s—and yes an album title too. This perfume with the same name is a beautiful chocolate incense number, and yes it does make me think of the late 60s and early 70s in the best possible way. There’s sticky resins and vanilla in the base of this inspired composition, making for an intoxicatingly addictive scent experience from start to finish. Although not the most original scent I do get great performance— more than eight hours and even longer if sprayed on clothes. Personally, I love Ummagumma, and after one wearing it went immediately on my buy list. For cold weather months, and perfectly unisex.

Just like all of Bruno's work, this one is odd, endearing, and different. There is the chocolate, that first powdery and bitter bite of cocoa. Then the saffron and the vanilla. Making this gourmand. But then there are the diaper cream notes of labdanum and olibanum. Balanced by the mature, comforting, relaxing tobacco and amber, just autumnal enough to introduce wood notes of sandalwood and cedar. Would I buy a full bottle? Probably not. But maybe that's because I already own Feu Secret and Untitled, two of his other creations. LIke everything he does, there is happiness and festiveness in the fragrance, never any note of sadness or apathy.

If you are the sort of perfume lover who only wants their perfume detected when someone hugs you, then this scent is for you. My experience of this scent is very different from other people: On myself, all I am smelling is a sweet version of Satya Nag Champa Sandalwood Incense Stick. If your body chemistry brings out other notes, good for you. However, just smelling sandalwood incense is not a bad thing, either. I like it, but there seems to be very little sillage. My nose is a centimeter from my forearm, and it’s pretty faint. I suggest that if you are curious, buy a decant of this perfume before buying the whole bottle.

I got a sample of Ummagumma in the portfolio set that Bruno Fazzolari sells. I highly recommend getting it so you can try all of his fragrances. It is one of my favorites. It includes scents of sweet tobacco, with hints of chocolate, and wood. When you smell it, there is almost a warmth behind it. I like to wear it during the Winter or Fall. I enjoy smelling my wrists when I wear it. I got caught at work once smelling myself. It was awkward, but I don't care it smells that good. After I ran out of the sample I purchased a full bottle and I can't wait until Fall arrives to wear it again.

***My review is for the 2025 - Ummagumma - EXTRA version*** Welllll Bruno has hit another home run...I did NOT think this fragrance could be made better & it has been, yet the original DNA is still very much intact, which makes me EXTREMELY HAPPY!! I am still in my chocolate incense like heaven...soo DIVINE & perfect for chilly days/nights in Georgia. I paired this with a body oil from Brown Sugar Babe, the HOT CHOCOLATE fragrance, & I smelled soo RICH & DECADENT...even my Sister in Law, who rarely gives me compliments, told me I smell FANTASTIC..trust me that’s HUGE!

WOW! I got a sample of this a few days ago and I am completely enamored. The cacao top note reminds me a lot of Cadavre Exquis, it's rich and rummy, and fades into a gorgeous amber with whispers of myhrr. Today I applied ONE SPRAY at work, and a few minutes later, a co-worker separated by a hallway and two closed doors asked if I'd put something on, because something "woody and green" was drifting into her office,(and she didn't mind a bit) :-) meaning the sillage is at least eight feet, but somehow it's not overpowering, even up close.

Opens with dry unsweetened cocoa... deepens, warms, grows spicy and friendly and playful but still with a dustiness. My mental image: drinking cinnamon mocha in a wealthy eccentric's library filled with creaking wooden furniture and moldering leather books, clean and organized, yet the aftersmell of tobacco and exotic incense still lingering in the shelves. Unfamiliar and a little weird, but so cozy.

this is so akin to slumberhouse’s ‘ore’ it’s hard to understand how anyone who’s smelt ‘ore’ before could not be overwhelmed by the comparison. is it necessarily a bad thing? no, i adore ‘ore’, but i do wish i’d gotten more of the earthy spice from saffron and carnation to differentiate the two. i would be interested to see what a non-black pepper spice hit in ‘ore’ would do for me.

the same chocolate/cacao as the one used in corpse reviver. this one has some amber-like resin backing it, i'm thinking it's a muted 'amber absolute' working here, but i can't be sure... the chocolate is not the usual 'edible' chocolate scent i've smelt elsewhere; this one is dry, unsweetened and not as palatable as others. a very VERY intriguing mix, that's for sure!

Guess the site took off the original name ( which had my review ) of this and kept this new label one. This one, for the dark, chocolate, smokey lovers, is a must have. I can't remember my detailed review now but, I remember loving this one. It's excellent for the cold/winter maybe even fall weather. A must have in the collection.

Ummagumma is a finely crafted late night love spell. Comforting dark chocolate, mysterious resins, and a cozy wood cabin dry-down. The smell of candlelight, engaging conversation, and enduring long-term love. I sprayed a little sample of this on my partner and was completely mesmerized.

Incense and dark chocolate. I love this one. The incense really kicks in during the dry down, at which point it reminds me a little of Rundholz's 03 April 1968 - but swap the lychee for chocolate. I can't stop sniffing my wrist when I wear this. Really beautiful for fall and winter.

Wore this for the first time while eating messy, fresh chocolate chip cookies alone in my apartment. Perfect. It smells like eating the cookies on a leather couch. Maybe in a log cabin. I want to buy a full bottle and wear it all winter.

Maybe I do like gourmands. This is intoxicating - a warm, winter scent. One that can brighten up a cold night. Vanilla that isn't cloying or overly feminine. A very gender neutral scent for rainy days and steamy nights. Cozy. I love.

Ummagumma is a rich, dark, sweet contraption with an unusually salty-animalic underlayer. Yes, there’s chocolate in the opening, but it’s not dominant; Ummagumma is all dark resins and woods and leather and tobacco, with that little thread of salty gold at the heart. @noseandnous had a great mental image of Ummagumma as an stray cat brought into a cozy book-lined study and fed sardines. all the tropes are there (the dark wood paneling; the leather armchair; the crackling fireplace) but Ummagumma is saltier, furrier, and wilder than you’d expect from the usual “Dad’s study” sort of Oriental. By about 2 hours in, Ummagumma transforms completely. It’s shifted to a warm reddish-brown spicy incense base, almost like cinnamon candy, or like the spicy incense of Lita, but here it has a wild, roaring, crackling texture. It feels like flame and booming drums, like some kind of crazed Samhain bonfire dance. We’re not in the cozy study anymore; we’re rocking out, and the thunder is rolling in. This fiery incense phase is extremely potent — it lasts at least 18 hours, sending up tendrils of warming spice all day long. I’ve encountered Ummagumma’s satisfying salty-gold-animalic chord in a couple other rich dark indie perfumes: Pryn Taiga is salty-gold + pine-sap leather, and Slumberhouse Sova is salty-gold + cloves. Ummagumma is in the same rough, potent indie style as Taiga and Sova, but more multifaceted and chaotic than the other two; it’s salty-gold AND dark resins AND chocolate AND spice. Is it a hot mess or a reckless delight? I’m still not sure.

This perfume caught my attention because the notes and description seem like something I would enjoy or at least try. Lately I have been in this phase of sampling instead of buying full bottles or even decants. So, once I had my fill of summer samples, I made sure to pick up a sample of Ummagumma, and tested on skin. This scent would definitely be more appropriate for the colder months. I was pretty curious about the dark chocolate note listed, and oh wow! There it was upon first spray. So rich and delicious, but fleeting quite quickly with incense stepping forward. Incense was most prominent, with some freshness and something leaning animalic. I wasn't quite sure which direction we'd be traveling in after this first minute to be honest, but the incense has smoothed out and remained the main event, chocolate, freshness, and animalic notes have gone away leaving room for cinnamon, sandalwood, and a little bit of smoke. Someone has lit the incense but the smoke is rounded and pleasant, not the least bit harsh. I wish I could have picked out the carnation note, maybe it was the freshness I detected? Maybe it's so well blended with the incense and sandalwood that I can't distinguish it. If you like an incense note in perfumes, you will likely enjoy this one. Or maybe you want to buy it for the person you snuggle up to on a cold evening. Aside from the incense, I'd describe this as slightly and interestingly gourmand, warm, woody, and rich. I'd recommend a sample.

This reminds me a lot of Anubis due to the incense/saffron/leather combo but the sweetness is coming from tobacco, vanilla, and tonka rather than immortelle. The dark chocolate (closer to cacao really) makes this one unique, and a little funkier than Anubis, a little less aloof. It's not trying to seduce you but it's gonna invite you somewhere cool. It's also sweeter than Anubis, but not in a candy way. The overall impression is fairly dry, do not expect molten chocolate or anything too gooey despite the synesthetic suggestion of the name. Like Anubis, the overall vibe of this one is "dressed up, but dressed for yourself" making it good for nights and parties. It's also not overly heavy despite the dark and intense feel. I want to like Anubis more for its lack of vanilla/tonka, but chocolate is an uncommon note, hard to do well. And I'm a sucker for oddball gourmands. The drydown is a little less interesting as it loses the saffron and much of the chocolate. It converges towards a more quotidian vanilla amber. Still it's pretty cool and fun overall, I'm glad I got a sample and i hope to be able to try other scents from the line. The $/ml ratio is not great but the fact that it comes in 30ml bottles is big plus.

To me, this is what all those "your skin but better" scents promised, then failed to deliver. It's not exactly weak - you can tell it's there - but something about this one works so well with my skin chemistry that it seems to melt into my own pheromones until it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Opens with a very strong blast of unsweetened cocoa powder, followed by saffron and something that reminds me of waxy iris. This stage is a very interesting dry take on chocolate, which smells quite nice, but didn't win me over. The cocoa-saffron-wax smell mellows out dramatically after a few minutes, revealing something warm, comforting, and fatty - almost reminiscent of ambergris - with deep resinous elements. Cocoa fades into the background, but doesn't go away completely. There's a vanillic element in there too, but it's not too sweet at all. Remains close to the skin.

As someone has mentioned before. This fragrance has an air of familiarity. For me it reminds me of dame perfumery chocolate man. It does however take a more smokey and secluded path into a gourmand realm. Predominantly it is a chocolate heavy fragrance. For me i get chocolate,leather,tobacco some vanilla and a touch of creamy sandalwood. The blend is pleasant yet linear. For me it started off with those notes and ended with those same notes. Not a bad fragrance at all. And would be a wonderful delight to wear during the colder months. If you are searching for a chocolate scent that has more smokey aspects this may fit your needs quite well. It last all day smells delightful and isn't something you will find everyone wearing. As usual this is my take on a perfume and it is subjective. Always sample and try for yourself.

This is so interesting. It definitely starts out edible but nothing is obviously chocolate. More like bread and spices: spice cake and bran muffins come to mind but it is only similar. Looking at the notes I can see where what I am smelling is saffron and resin, spice from tobacco and carnation. When I can picknout the leather I can smell the chocolate and there is something amazing in the coco-leather emergence that really needs more exploration. This is what I would consider a very well blended mix. The notes combine to form something new but are still identifiable and never cross over into muddy olfactory noise. Apply liberally. This is a surprisingly quiet scent but with a strong application the longevity is there.

I bought a bottle because samples were sold out everywhere and the notes/descriptions were amazing. I like it, but I feel like I could have accomplished the same effect by layering Serge Lutens Chergui and Slumberhouse Baque, which I already own. I would miss the dark chocolate notes, but not enough to justify the price tag. I think I was expecting more of a deep chocolatey tobacco and less of the dry spice found in Chergui. I don't mind it in my collection, but the projection feels smaller than it should be and I wouldn't have bought a bottle if I had sampled it first.

I do really like this perfume but it's oddly constructed. When I first sampled, the cocoa/dark chocolate notes melded smoothly with the incense, and it's the same when I smell the nozzle of the full-size bottle. Sprayed, however, there's a brief chocolate phase and then it's like the perfume's made up of two disconnected notes - the chocolate cocoa, very quiet, and a loud, heavy churchy/hippy incense that dominates proceedings right into the drydown. I like the incense and enjoy wearing the perfume in cold weather but the overall effect is bottom-heavy.

Gourmand but not in an obvious foody way. Im getting Guinness beer, molasses, vanilla, maybe something with yeast. This may sound strange but the overall effect is soft, smooth and subtle. This is warm but without spice, which is good as it would take this in a totally different direction and not needed here. A soft, fluffy and warm scent that is delicate and nice. I would love to smell this on someone's neck. Perfect for intimate moments, this is sexy in the best possible way. I love this.

A more wearable renditon of Tobacco Oud with a big dose of cacao instead of the "oud" accord. And just like Tobacco Oud, this one is mostly labdanum, benzoin, and incense while Tobacco is mostly a circulating nuance in the background. Not really an original concept, but then again, not many can recreate Ford's interpretation of Tobacco. This one, however, makes an excellent contender and is overall well done even though it’s a tad sweeter than Tobacco Oud.

Just got a sample of this with an order. So far, delicious boozy chocolate with burnished wood, dark tobacco, and amber. Sweet, but not cloying. Very cozy and perfect for cold weather. I think if you like Slumberhouse Ore or Parfums d'Empire Ambre Russe and the like, you'll love this. Update: I still have the same impression but have decided it is too sweet and syrupy for me in the end. If it got airier and drier as it dried down, I’d like it more.

Starts with a very realistic powdered cocoa note. Than it goes cloying sweet (vanilla+resins), and trained noeses may get a faint tobacco in the drydown. Don't get misled by reviews, this one is chocolate/resins-centered, not tobacco-centered. Fazzolari is trying to replicate Slumberhouse Ore or Orto Parisi's Boccanera, with a twist. But failed imo. The price tag doesn't help either, thus hard pass for me (like for most of Fazzolari fragrances).

Labdanum, olibanum, tobacco, & chocolate. This is most likely a chocolate incense with geranium, leather, and cedar beside the saffron. It's quite woody as well. A very interesting blend of smoke and chocolate. I need to test it more. Edit (7th June 2018) It reminds me of "Ore" by Slumberhouse with that burnt chocolate & woods but without coconut.

A dirty, primal chocolate fragrance. Almost smells like Tauerade with the resins and spice. Leans slightly savory and animalic but balanced with sweet notes. Very good niche perfumery. Drydown is addicting. Will probably be challenging for a lot of people. NSFW 8.3/10

It's not nearly as chocolatey as they'd like you to believe; instead of gourmand, it's exquisitely dry & resinous—lots of tobacco, olibanum, and labdanum. This smells like an old soul with hidden warmth, and yes, reminds me of one of the Devs, just unsure if it's #2.

Leather and chocolate are the notes that stand out for me. Open up your leather bag and you've got one cigarette left in a pack plus a chocolate bar in there -- personal stash!

first impressions i got coffee, but after that it’s pure leather and woody smoke. probably good for layering. i wouldn’t buy this expecting a lasting chocolate scent in mind.

This is a strange one for me. The first spray is overwhelming - the heavy tobacco smoke and incense smells are choking and strong and immediately this is the type of fragrance you know you won't want to wear in enclosed spaces or in hot weather. I sprayed it on my arm in my car and I am having some regrets about that decision. But when it dries and the smoke clears, it's this lovely spicy and smooth chocolatey warmness. It almost smells a little tiny bit like Angels' Share in the dry down - vanilla, chocolate, leather, and woods all mixing together into a very cozy concoction. All that said, I would not consider this a gourmand. It's not edible. The incense, leather, and tobacco are the stars in this fragrance and you only get the sweetness once you've been patient enough to get past the opening. And don't get me wrong, I do love the sweet and cozy dry down, but it's unfortunately been overtaken. I am a massive Pink Floyd fan and honestly that's the entire reason I tried this, but I don't think I can justify a full bottle. My favorite vintage-esque scent that evokes psychedelia and the 60's is La Habana by 19-69. Smoky & peppery, but for some reason I can handle that one much better than this one. 5/10

This opens with a spiced and ambery dark chocolate smell that smells similar to Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate, but it quickly transitions to labdanum heavy smoky and woody scent. You lose the chocolate early on and it dries down to a richly woody, creamy tonka bean, and resinous scent. There’s hints of smokiness there too, but overall a very warm and ambery resinous scent with creamy sweetness underlying

Very unique! Smells strongly like brandy, and I can easily detect the chocolate note in it. Certainly never smelled anything like this before. It dries down to a stronger, smoky smell, and mingles very well with the cacao too. I got a sample of this, and while I won’t be getting a full bottle, it’s certainly an experience.

So delicious, but all that wonderful dark sweet chocolate disappears so fast, unfortunately for me, the drydown was too dry and masculine! I would love this on someone else!

Notes of incense and dark chocolate. Wife said I smelled really nice.

Got many samples right from the designers website. First spray was very off putting. A spicy dark chocolate that hits you right in the face. I know the chocolate smell, it smells just like the Mexican chocolate Abuelita. Occasional the sharp spicy carnation kicks through. It's sweet but daring. Alluring but with a bite. Together it's a grown up's candy: A dark chocolate pepper bar. At first I thought the top notes faded fast but then I realized that the base leather is just taking over instead. It's similar to Tuscon Leather but I feel it's deeper. Maybe a step or two towards the Tuscon Leather Intense. occasional the dark Chocolate scent pulls up through the leather as though you caught me sipping Abuelita hot cocoa while wearing my leather jacket. The Tobacco in this is subtle. Once you start to become nose blind to the leather, a puff of tobacco slips in to reset your nose and kick the leather back into play. This is a fragrance that lives in your trail. Stand still and the leather overwhelms everything: move around though and you'll catch the mix of fragrances dance around you. The smell is sort of like free jazz. Instead of a blend of notes making one harmonious scent, it's a variety of notes all waiting for the right time to take the spotlight before dipping to the background and letting some one else shine. Edit: The dark chocolate is very bitter and unsweetened. It almost ventures into "unsweetened chocolate" smell that a decaying corpse smells like. I was liking it until I remembered this is what dead bodies smell like. You might be able to avoid this displeasure if you've never smelled a corpse to compare.

I sampled this and Oud in Bourbon by Scents of Wood at the same time and was surprised at the similarities. They are not dupes by any means, but both have chocolate, saffron, labdanum and vanilla. I prefer Ummagumma with the leather and tobacco complexity to the green spice patchouli in Oud in Bourbon, but neither is a real win for me. Both of these have a liqueur sweetness and medicinal, incense spiciness that feel simultaneously too indulgent and too clinical - like the wave of nausea that hits you after eating too many holiday sweets.

As a 25 year old man this is not for me or pleasing on women for me. I get very heady floral fighting a realistic chocolate note. The quality is respectable, but the middle notes seem to be missing. After the opening you get a realistic woods or mellow plastic note comes through. The woods and that odd note are consumed even in the base making the fragrance fairly linear. This is a brash loud monster only suitable for the winter or maybe fall nights on eccentric individuals. Not for me, but we all have our preferences.

Opens with chocolate chapstick and drys down to waxy crystal shop incense. I was looking for something slightly more dry/bitter, but if you enjoy a sweet/smoky sandalwood this may be for you.

The leather note smells more like rubber tires on my skin. Wish I got more of the chocolate or tonka others mention! Love other fragrances from this house but will pass on this one

The tabaco is too strong for me if a old man wore this tho i think thatd be lit

waaay too chocolatey. nausea inducing.

Bruno Fazzolari continues to push boundaries in modern perfumery with this new eclectic resinous gourmand offering which goes into the Slumberhouse territory but just stops short of going all the way there. The central note like Ore is the delicious chocolate, but in this case it is just a small part of the overall lighter confection. It is layered with tobacco, musk, tonka bean, labdanum, cedar and a slight hint of incense. Resinous, warm, bright, a bit feminine leaning, this one has enormous sillage and projection. This is not going to please everyone because it is a strange dark sweetness. But if you like Slumberhouse offerings (such as Ore or Jeke) or Bruno's own limited edition "Cadavre Exquis" you must get this one. Really comforting and warm and perfect for winter weather, I continue to be a fan of this very promising new perfumer and this is my 5th full bottle purchase from this house.

I generally only review perfumes I actually like, but I just had to say my piece on Ummagumma. First of all: It's intensly syrupy. I love gourmand perfumes, but it does indeed seem like Ummagumma found my limit. On paper these notes look like they would create some serious perfume magic, but my friend and I both smell sour leather, orthodox churches and tooth-aching sweetness. My nose sort of... stings when smelling it. I can appreciate the craft behind the composition, the excellent sillage and lasting power, but the abrasiveness of Ummagumma is simply too much for me.
