Ingredients 07-2012

Instant love for me. I got the extraits sampling set from Crivelli and, even though I enjoyed most scents apart from patchouli magnetik which was too overpowering and hibiscus mahajad which was too feminine for my taste, it was the clear standout! Completely unique fragrance, nothing like anything I’ve smelled before, definitely woody and spicy but also with a papery and steamy feel to it, at least on my skin, that is very addictive and sexy. Unisex leaning masculine I’d say. Very elegant, but also sensual and addictive and super long lasting. Moderate projection so people close to you will definitely notice the frangeance, but it’s not a loud or invasive scent by any means (much more subtle and quiet than patchouli magnetik or amber chromatique for example). Suitable for all seasons except extreme heat and any occasion, but mostly night time, in my opinion. Though it could also be an office scent if one goes easy on the sprays. Definitely a scent that deserves more praise and recognition in my opinion. Difficult to sample and get but then again this is also part of its appeal!

Jacque Cavallier did something amazing with Ambroxan— combined it with Grapefruit to create Tygar. Gael Montero took that amazing match and made an even more perfect one. Basically this, to me, is an ambroxan bomb with saffron. The combination is incredible, and strong. Saffron here at times can be spicy, can give off a leather vibe, can give off a rubber vibe. There’s also a sweetness that I’d guess as dried fruits or some kind of stone fruit like plum. It’s SO good. The ambroxan smells similar to the Tygar ambroxan, however these don’t smell alike. This is better, as I like imagination more as a citrus / freshie. This is strong, sexy, spicy, leathery, sweet, ambroxan— that does NOT give me headaches or cause me to sneeze like Tygar sometimes does. This... is the perfect use of ambroxan to my nose. Absolutely incredible: hard to sample in US; but worth the hunt.

This is perfection in a bottle. I wear Ingredients 07-2012 now for a year, certainly in the winter time it has become my signature. It just uplifts me, anytime any day. The best Prague souvenir: lingering whiffs spreading from the sleeve of my thickest wool sweater after a visit to the Ingredients store. The scent followed me all over town, through the beautiful streets, lovely cafés, up to our cosy roof top suite, making me exclaim now and again “Damn, it smells SO good!”. After returning home I kept sniffing that sweater, it kept giving - eventually I caved and ordered a full bottle. The scent is deep and uplifting. Woodsy, wild and sophisticated. Dry, a little spicy, warm and soft. It opens a bit herbal, but slowly it grows into an amazing warm embrace of safety and luxury. Both sillage and longevity are excellent and gives you a kind presence in any company.

There are no official notes on this so I try to explain what I'm getting from this: The main notes are saffron and frankincense for me, combined with musks, wood, neroli and a "molecule-vibe". The combination of those kinda gives it a synthetic, almost "virtual" smell - like ironing fresh clothes and a little bit of the ozonic wafts you get right before it starts to rain. It's definitely unique, strong and pleasant for most people. Just like other strong, synthetic saffron perfumes for some people this might smell much more extreme, to the point where they have to leave the room, while others cant't smell it at all, especially the wearer. Though I am not able to smell it on my skin after some time, other people frequently tell me that it's still going very strong ~8 hours after applying it.

This is a stunning little jewel with fantastic performance. The fact that this perfume has been made in cooperation with my favourite hometown perfume store Ingredients might make me biased, but I just can’t wrap my head around it, in the best way possible. It catches attention, raises questions, fills the room. It creates a certain atmosphere that is hard to describe. I especially love the first hour when it starts to radiate warmth with subtle, metallic tones and soft sweetness. I never felt this before with any other perfume. It’s not a blind buy, but I can honestly say that even if I wear a different perfume, I catch myself thinking how I miss the smell of Ingredients 07/2012 and I’m already looking forward for the next day so I can wear it again. There you have it.

Love love love this perfume. I live in Prague so I’m lucky to be able to purchase and sample this gem easily. The opening is fresh spicy then I am smelling a lot of sandalwood but I can see vividly a strong log of the dry wood. There is some sweetness to it too and it’s very long lasting and potent it’s definitely worth the price. What makes it even more special with the story behind this is that it can easily be a special gift to someone living elsewhere as a souvenir from Prague, or you can buy it for yourself when you’re visiting Prague as a token of your stay here.

For me it is a smell of black tea and tobacco leaves, birch brooms, hot wooden sauna and heated air. Heated soldering iron and rosin (I remember my father used to make something with it when I was little). There is something like rosewood or some kind of oud. Some aromatic herbs (thyme?) and dried fruits. After a few hours, it dries down to a red-hot metal and something sour, like rhubarb. There may be amber wood materials in the composition because it is a little rough. And it's incredibly lasting, it easily stays on my skin for a whole day.

this scent, is like, wtf I smelling? its goood, noo, its awesome! I want it to wear! theres some spicy, like layton, theres rhubarb I believe a little bit, a little bit of leather, a little bit of smoke, a little bit of rhubarb I believe but, who knows :D for sure theres something earthy to me, also some green buy samples, its not clean blind buy sillage 9/10 longevity 9/10 value 9/10 wearing 7/10 overall its 9/10 235€/50ml in prague or 215€ from original shop of MC

This one is so unique! Totally unisex. Some might say it leans masculine, but I love wearing it! I consider it my signature scent, and it always makes me feel special. The performance is out of this world—lasts all day, even days long! It projects well, and on clothes, it stays until properly washed. As you all know, the ingredients are a secret, but how it feels is natural, aromatic, forestry, woody, earthy, maybe a little bit leathery... Clean! ✨

Strong, extraordinary perfume. Very woody and smoky. Spicy and leathern. Bold and original. Not exactly something that everybody could use on skin - it is very dominating (vetiver and santal, I assume) - but it is quite atractive scent when disperse it to the air. Pretty unforgettable. You want to smell it again - and discover... (Similar to Praque.) Associates me voyages. Excitement. And the busy sounds in the cobblestoned streets...

I don't understand the low rating on this one bc it's stunning and extremely long lasting! I'm decluttering to buy this one! Opens up with spices and quickly dries down to a freshly starched linen shirt that's still hot. I pick up on a hint of dried fruits far in the background as well. Its addicting and so chic. Clean, woody, peppery. It's a love for me!

This IMO is blended better than any of the other in the line, definitely more of a wearable perfume, that leans masculine . Saffron and leather, but more of a suede type feel. Almost reminds me of a softer Rosendo mateu #5 minus the florals, or again a smoother babycat. I like it alot. A Fall, winter, spring banger

This is a good one. I haven’t smelled TF oud wood in a long time, but at first spray I got some of that oud for greatness vibes, paper and sandalwood and/or cedar. Blast of spice off the top is attention getting. Definitely full bottle worthy. Great stuff. Edit, getting more dry cedar, this is amazing

For me this fragrance was heavy heavy leather blended with wood, spice and pachouli. Dried down to a beautiful floral forward as the leather takes a backseat. It reminded me of the way my ex-boyfriend smelled after an intense workout and a post gym ciggie. Sexy as sh*^!

The best burning vetiver. Dry in the heart and wet on initial top. Perfectly executed. It's the smell of my childhood. A 10/10 reminder of khus sharbat by Dabur. Very beautiful to say the least. Oud Maracuja pales in terms of creativity. This is the pinnacle

This is true gem. Most interesting perfume ever created for me. Subtle yet strong and present. Not blind buy safe. You can expect some saffron, some woods and leather and very slight sweetnes.

Complex and comforting saffron and vetiver combo. The exact same feeling as wearing the most perfectly tailored and ironed white shirt. Masterpiece!

Concordo con chi mi ha preceduto sento pepe nero , legnoso, zafferano, mi ricorda initio oud for greatness

Ingredients 07/2012 is a remarkably interesting and abstract take on perfume, with the composition remaining a secret to allow each individual to form their own relationship and understanding of the scent. I love the idea, and I really enjoy the way it smells too, usually I’m not the biggest fan of Crivelli but this is great. I do pick up on the synthetic plasticky/metallic accord that others are describing, but it’s not overpowering. From here, I’m mainly picking up on a lot of saffron and patchouli - it’s this contrast between something dark and earthy, alongside this rich, metallic sweetness. It also seems very woody, perhaps with a lot of cedar, mixed in with a large array of other stuff which to be honest is too difficult to pick out. If I had to compare it to something, the combination of saffron and patchouli ever so slightly reminds me of Secret Tryst by Fragrance du Bois. However, the metallic nature of this scent renders it significantly different at the same time. I like it, not sure I’ll be buying it though.

This scent is very tempting. It smells really good. The notes are really well blended that it's difficult to tell what I smell. All I get is some oud, leather, vanilla and saffron - maybe I am wrong. This scent reminds me of Aoud Vanille by Mancera a lot - it's almost identical to that fragrance, but Ingredients 07 2012 doesn't smell very synthetic compare to Aoud Vanille. Is it worth trying? Yes. It is worth buying? It depends. You will like it or don't. I personally find it very interesting and appreciate it, but I would personally not buy it, because it does not suit me. This scent is very long lasting and the sillage is quite strong. You will definitely get notice with this scent - 1 - 3 sprays are enough, but it depens on you, I would consider it very loud. I think it's suitable to wear it during fall and winter times.
