Ritual

I’m wearing TRNP Rtual perfume oil at the moment from a bottle gifted to me by the perfumer. This is a beautiful and rather addictive fragrance. vigorous, with heaps of sillage and density. Naturals can seem muddy at application, but this does not. There is a bright, astringent lemon oil, like morning sunshine, and a hefty mentholated blast at the opening. The menthol abates after a few minutes and you’re left with the sweetness of intermingled tobacco and sandalwood creating a fresh, creamy and very woody base, plus a floral (don’t read that as feminine) cloud and then lemon rinds pinging sharply, as if they’re about to be plunged into sugar and alcohol to make limoncello. I have honestly never smelled a fragrance like this before. Ritual reminds me of the scents of India and the Middle East. It’s exotic, punchy, abstract and also somehow quite sexual! It is drunken 4am sex with monsoon rain hammering on the tin roof. A shonky fan clicking and whirring in the background The dry down is magnificent and I must say that I am really rather taken with this juice!

In the opening you get a slightly waxy sweet n sour lemon, which is quickly followed by Tuberose, which is quickly followed by Pink lotus. The sweet, yet slightly indolic floral combo plays very well with the lemon. It really is kinda sexy...even smelling it on myself lol. About an hour in the Tobacco becomes apparent and creates a smooth, “brown” tone contrasting the high pitched lemony fresh sweet florals. About three to four hours in, the slightly salty-buttered/woody sandal becomes noticeable. Finally, between 6-8 hours the sandal is a bit more prominent over the tobacco and the florals are just a whisper. This would be a great spring/summer almost-freshie that is very alluring. After about 4 hours this one sits a bit closer to the skin, but is still noticeable. Again, excellent stuff.

Recently I often wear Teone's new perfume work "Ritual" Parfum version. I like this amazed spicy tuberose with tobacco since I wore it for a first time. First, Lemon opens this spicy scent with tuberose, and pink lotus makes me graceful feeling. And finally it moves to earthy and ethereal moods of Tobacco and Sandalwood while keeping tuberose's white flower. He/she has shown masculine, chic and seemingly smart image like driving a modernistic car (It would be the scent of the polished car interior), but has something darkness ambition. That person owns only what a person needs. That's modern warriors with suits.
