Atardecer

SUNSETS ARE MAGICAL AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT THEM - Le Petit Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. ATARDECER ( SUNSET ) is one of the few perfumes that really surprised me in a good way in 2024 A masterpiece, masterfully crafted by perfumer C. Carbonnel. First - Don't be scared when you read the notes, don't let them cheat you. You will not find a challenging perfume of oud, cheese, horse shit or animal notes as if you had put a dead cow on you. Luckily for me I came across a perfume that has such complex notes perfectly balanced. It has an opening where violet leaf predominates and a subtle bright point of narcotic tuberose that prepare you for the heart of the fragrance. As time passes (maybe 15 minutes) the violet leaf begins to diminish and the heart notes feel more intense: a combination of smoky, astringent (or spicy to my nose) woody notes accompanied by a leather note is perceived (not Ford's Ombre Leather or Matiere Premier's sophisticated Falcon Leather), this is a leather from a time-worn wallet. There is a sensation of wet earth very present as time progresses In the end - after 8 hours, the perfume stays on your skin, perceiving notes of sweet vanilla and amber and something green that I don't know what it is. It is definitely not a blind buy, it is far from the entire realm of mainstream perfumes (Thank you), but it is also not a perfume that you can never use because it could raise the eyebrows of the people around you. For me it turned out to be a perfume that I can use every day with a bit of cold weather. Something nostalgic happens to me when I use it.

INSPIRATION: March 1997. Walking through the forest, the sky begins to rumble and turn gray. We look for shelter. In the distance, a cave on the side of the mountain. Upon entering, we are greeted by a cold and mineral scent of rock and millennia. We see the rain falling from inside as if we were admiring it from a window. An aroma of wet earth invades the senses. I start a fire to prepare some coffee. My jacket gives off traces of my favorite perfume of leather and violet leaves that, due to use, has been impregnated for life in it. I search in my backpack for a Havana cigar that I had been saving for a special moment, I light it and the smoke mixes with the strong and intoxicating perfume of tuberose that she carries. We sit on the ground with our backs resting on the rock and we prepare to wait for the rain to pass while we watch the beginning of the sunset.

Let's start by saying that it's not a simple perfume, but it's not that complicated either. You can feel the aroma wet soil, a forested soil where it has rained for a long time. In the center is a cabin, where it seems that an aroma of roasted coffee comes out of the chimney. Great job for Cris Carbonnel, long-lasting and sticks to your skin for hours. Whitout forgetting Eduardo from MyscentJorney who has been a creative part of the process. I’ts a great perfume. Or as we say in Spanish PERFUMON!

What a masterpiece. Just when you think you got it all figured out! It comes Atardecer to tell you, nope! You don’t! And bang !!️ right at your face!!! It’s a very hard to describe scent and definitely not a blind buy, but don’t get scare, I’ll promise you’re gonna love it!!! Smoky, leathery, a bit green, very mineral, vanilla is like plastic like the smell of 3D printers filaments, that wet dirt smell that’s so addictive.... Anyways guys, I’m just in love.

An easy-to-use oud perfume for those of us who love oud notes. It starts with an aroma that reminds me of my childhood when I went to a small town called Tapalpa (a forest with rain) and continues to evolve into a pleasant mix of vanilla and coffee, without being a perfume of great projection, it remains in a personal bubble that those who are close to you will notice that you smell different. 10/10.
