Dentro

Dentro immediately won me over because of its bold coffee opening, something I’m always drawn to. It smells like realistic coffee powder, like opening a fresh pack and the smell hits you straight away. The fig leaf here is very green, very sharp, giving the fragrance a strong character. Incense, leather, and cocoa add depth and darkness as it develops, keeping the scent intense from start to finish.

An old dark-stone church filled with the scent of incense. Through the smoke and stained-glass windows, a luminous column of light falls, bathing the few-days-old bouquet that still jewels the altar. The buds have lost their fragrance, but the stems still pulse with life... Wonderful!

Overpriced for what you get. However, even cheaper I would not run out and pick this up. Got about 5ish hours. Started off as a sour fig. Then mellowed to a bit of fig with honey and tobacco. After two hours it was a weak skin scent. At this point it just reminded me of stale sweat. Not sure why. That's it. Nothing for me.

This is atrociously bad. Smells like the cheapest synthetic fig leaf, tobbacco-woodsy compounds like boronal/azarbre, overly sweet benzoin, lemon-y olibanum and a hint of a cocoa scented shampoo. Blended awfully with an unpleasantly synthetic base. The only pro is that you can't wash it off.

I swear this is the most hardcore fig leaf I've ever experienced. Hardly unsweetened, mouldy. Or is it just the tobacco leaf? Yes, it is mostly a brooding tobacco fragrance. Nicotine-heavy, bone-dry tobacco and black musky coffee. I smell an old house with an abandoned yard. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Ashtrays and dumped furniture; bitch tar, moth balls. A drop of urinous honey, a hint of sweetness now and then. If it wasn't for the fig leaf, this would be as dreadful as getting older could feel sometimes. Washed my hands three times with two different soaps, finally managed to get something like Aramis Havana out of it. Scents of reference: Rien, Memory Hotel, Le Pavilllon d'Or. Meta-purpose: Overcoming the fear of getting older and being forgotten.
