Tellus

It was a blind buy. I was looking for another earthy perfume after exploring Thundra from Profumum. Tellus is not realistically mushroomy wet soil and century old forest as Thundra, it is more to the clean cashmeran and elegant side, let say smell of fancy and expensive forest from some magazine or book. I was excepting maybe something different and more dirty, but at same time im also surprised with Tellus. How im thinking about comparsion to other brands, Tellus is dry or dusty as Arso from Profumum. Opening reminds me something out of Absinth from Nassomato, but not so bitter. There is also some floral aspect from Yoyogi from CDG.Tellus smells very pleasant, natural and artificial at the same time. Its hard to describe it for me in terms of ingredients. Will say its office safe scent, its not screaming loud. Duration around 7 hours, 4-5 hours with good moderate projection. I think it will reveal full potential in colder temperatures than the summer ones.It is the first brand from which I see perfume with dustbag included, which is really nice accessories. I love the packaging and design of the bottle, which is somehow medieval and alchemical/mysterious. The atomizer is the best one I have ever experienced, but will say it’s spitting too much fragrance, so you need to tuch it not so hard.I bought it for 175 euros, which is a really good price for this quality.

Absolute favorite, I'm so happy to have got a bottle before it was discontinued. Strangely I don't think I smell earth at any stage, and don't really get the nature walk comparisons. To me Tellus is about the costus, extremely well-framed filth. The opening is patchouli and coniferous wood sap with a dose of costus: dirty, fecal, repulsive and magnetic. I may be buying too much into the advertised note pyramid, but I think I also perceive cashmeran: the overall effect is like smelling a farm animal, maybe a goat. The drydown loses much of the fecal intensity and you are left with a very attractive musk, skin-like, barely-sweet labdanum, still a little fuzzy and dirty. For being so thoroughly organic and body-like it is at the same time cold and high-pitched, wooly and ethereal. Tellus is generally an interesting one. I obviously love it very much, I've had people compliment it on me, but then also had people call it a boring generic masculine scent. The reviews here are also very contradictory, classy men's scent vs unbearable manure stink, loud vs quiet, all kinds of things. That probably speaks to a pretty interesting composition I think.

The first time I tried it in a store in Hannover.I didn't realise its beauty.Second time I tried in Milan on a paper, I was fascinated by its temptation and couldn't believe how carnal and masculin a parfum could be. Even more mindblowing, tempting and sexy than the original Fahrenheit I used in early 90s. So I bought a sample to experience its 24h development on my own skin. Well having tried it on me, I still appreciate its drilling sexiness, but during the day I realized that those charming elements inside are actually the synthetic ones (Ambroxan and Cashmeran) not as synthetic as "Peau de bete" and "Fortis" from the same house, they tried to cover up those artifical odours with natural earthy, leathery woody elements yes, but still the synthetic content reveals itself a little bit too much for my nose. But for those who could make consessions towards the synthetic axis, the sexiest men's parfum on Earth.Bravo Nadege Nagerlantezec, Bravo Liquids Imaginaires.

The most pleasant & ethereal soil tincture note I've ever experienced. It's very ssfe smell, sophisticated and elegant dirt lol! Beautiful from the opening till the end. Absolutely unisex scent suitable for spring, fall, summer day and night. It would shine with slightly cool and/or humid weather. The only drawback is its projection and sillage. It stays close to the skin most of its life. If you are into japanese perfumery, this is one of them. Ethereal and beautiful. It's a long lasting scent. Dominant notes are smooth soil tincture and earthy, dry, non-sweet patchouli. Noticeable notes are cashmeran, amber and mild labdanum. I do not get moss. Just 1 hour before it dies it becomes a wonderful masculine skin scent.. almost a classic vibe. Something similar to Narciso Rodriguez the grey bottle. Beautiful and classy for places where the scent should be discreet.

It definitely lives up to its name. Imagine an early autumn walk in a forest. It has recently rained, so the earth is damp, but the sun is shining now. You get the wet earth, moss, maybe even some mushrooms. It’s so autumnally fresh ... but obviously not fresh-fresh ... you want to get down on your knees and breathe in all of the scents of nature. Certainly not a crowd pleaser or compliment getter ... more of a personal "comfy-chair-with-a-nice-smoky-malt-whisky" kind of scent. Personally, I love it but I have yet to try it in public. Maybe I will once autumn comes: out for a walk on a crisp, sunny autumn day with someone I hold dear ... one foot in front of the other, through the leaves and over bridges ... sitting on a brown leaf floor; kiss her lightly and tell her that I love her ...
