Black Dianthus

"From the bitter to the sweet" It evolves in a classic way, that is, in three phases, although the concept is modern. Aromatic dry entree: thyme, rhubarb, together with belladonna, produce a bitter, almost smoky aroma, with nuances of tobacco and leather, which is transformed into fruity-floral by the berries and a carnation that touches the resemblance to the aroma of a Pink, feels placid and soft. As it evolves the aroma of a good vetiver wood accompanied by licorice is installed and finally sweetened by the hidden note of vanilla and a musky cocktail with an original and fine cherry background without ever entering the gourmand. The aroma as a concept I liked a lot, it is original, intelligent, the duration is good and it projects smooth (for my taste better), which makes it ideal for daytime use and multiestation.

I love this one! I purchased a bottle after draining a sample I had. After receiving a complement while wearing it, I was sold. To me this is a attention-getting, unusual, smoky-peppery fragrance perfect for slightly cooler weather. I also get whiffs of a beautiful, clean, masculine-leaning soapy accord, which I adore. The longevity and sillage are pretty outstanding, too. Definitely worth trying if this description appeals to you!

Unique and old fashioned blast of blackcurrant and hints of patchouli. All round winner in my view.

Cel'ho dal 2013, usato poche volte. Ero incuriosito dalla belladonna, e in generale da questo boquet un po insolito che prometteva bene. L'apertura mi piace; è rossa e amara, proprio come il rabarbaro. Però dura poco e lascia il campo a una nota di cannella simile a quella che c'è in Peccatrice di Hilde soliani. Questa nota di cannella mista a garofano è abbastanza piccante, mescolata a quell'agrodolce della ciliegia,ci sarà anche la liquirizia che non decifro e note verdi erbose,forse timo. Però non mi conquista, resta sulla pelle senza gloria, ci trovo delle simiglianze con King kong di kenzo. boh.

interesting! goes on very green and almost smokey oud then as it dries to the middle the fruit comes up; it reminds me of another fragrance I have smelled but can't place it then it turns carnation and spice with the sweet fruit rounding it out and some pepper
