  A legend is born. I received this as a gift and, on this Epiphany, what better than a story. I tested it with the film Wolfhound. The fragrance tells its story: a surviving child sent to mines, who defies his master and frees himself. I perceive an explosion of bergamot and red fruits, followed by juicy and sour-sweet leather. Then birch, oak, and violet, a wet and oily sensation. Clean and musky leather. Our warrior Wolf brings pure mountain air and a frozen lake. A bat on the shoulder, leather on the wings. The leather becomes spicy, dry, and hot with spices like nutmeg and oregano. A resinous touch, like tar. It arrives at a cursed city with warriors, the heat of bonfires, red-hot iron, and burnt wood. Protecting a princess, the leather of his garments and caravans is deep and animal. In the enchanted forest, swamp, lost souls, and fire overcome the darkness. Mist and undergrowth. Fight to the death, battles, screams, sweat. The leather of the rider is worn, soft, and hot. Unbearably sensual. A healer cures him alongside the princess under the moon. Happy ending. The base is spectacular: woody, wooded by oak and birch, warm and luminous thanks to amber and a soft incense. It is sensual, wild, enveloping, with strength and passion. For cold, day and night, soft and punchy, with notable longevity. It starts strong, softens, and reappears. I love that it’s unpredictable. It’s been more than 12 hours and it’s still going. The presentation is elaborate: strong square box, heavy porcelain bottle like a billiard ball, painted with riders, white and black horses. Black cap and red bottle, passion and death. Evokes matryoshkas. I hope the girl I am never disappears. Thanks to the Fragrántica team for this perfume that is the embodiment of a dream. In this time of solitude, these fragrances open doors to being who you want. A place where the impossible happens, where the invisible becomes important. We are magical creatures full of essence.

  Initially, there are fruity notes that last only a few seconds before the leather, violet, and animalic elements take over. To me, it’s linear, smelling the same from start to finish; the only change is that the castoreum softens over time, but otherwise, it remains identical. The key notes are leather, violet, and castoreum with a woody base. The leather feels rough and the violet damp. Then comes the castoreum, which I personally dislike so much that it actually repels me. Gradually, as the animalic aspect fades, it smells less unpleasant, but I’ve never liked it. The performance wasn’t good; rather weak; it was audible but lacked potency and had low longevity. It’s masculine and suited for cold weather. Personally, I didn’t like it. The other fragrance from the brand, Enchanted Forest, I loved, and if not for the price, I would have bought it, but this one has no redeeming qualities. As a leather scent, there are better options on the market, more realistic and with a superior smell. I also don’t understand why castoreum is included here, as it gives an impression of bad odour; in other perfumes, even those with animalic notes, it doesn’t smell foul. And considering the price, the only thing that can happen is that we burst into laughter.

  In the dry-down, you notice some of the fruity notes, it lasts seconds, and then the leather, violet, and animal note enter. For me, it’s linear; it smells the same from there until the end. The only difference is that the castoreum softens over time. The main notes are leather, violet, castoreum, and a woody base. The leather feels rough and the violet is wet. I don’t like the castoreum at all; it smells unpleasant. Gradually it becomes less unpleasant, but it never becomes pleasant. The performance wasn’t good, weak. I could smell it but with little potency and low longevity. It’s masculine and for cold weather. Personally, I didn’t like it. The other perfume from the brand, Enchanted Forest, I liked a lot and if it weren’t for the price, I would have bought it, but this one has nothing to grab onto. As leather, there are better options on the market. I don’t understand what the castoreum is doing there; it gives a sensation of bad smell. If we look at the price, the only thing that can happen is that we burst out laughing.

  This morning, in a rush, I showered and sprayed this without testing it. Puff, I ran to the bank. Good heavens, if I had known, I would have had a worse day. It rooted itself in my stomach; with a coffee, it was scratching to get out. I don’t know if it’s the perfume or if I woke up pachucho, but it lodged itself in my nasal cavities. It was a mix of leather, violet, and animal notes, slightly unpleasant. It carried a background that gave me a beating in the stomach. Sometimes it smelled of diesel, as if you filled a jerrycan and sniffed from the nozzle. This lasted the first two hours. Then it dropped and left a much more pleasant smell, but the beginning was unbearable. The dry-down is fresh and sweet with lovely fruity nuances, but it lasts nothing. Now it releases an intense mix of animal notes, leather, and violet. Sometimes it smells of tarred violet, other times of diesel. It’s rare, although the violet tone with non-aggressive leather is pretty. Until the animal notes drop, I don’t like it. From the two-hour mark, it becomes soft and pleasant. Performance is regular, it doesn’t match the price. It lasted 6 hours on skin, with wide projection at first and then almost skin-to-skin. It’s a nocturnal and cold-weather scent. It’s original and breaks the mould, but test before to avoid a surprise.

  A young, prenatal, and super-soft leather, with vegetal nuances and tender wood, not woody. I’m surprised that tarragon, cucumber, tomato leaf, and nutmeg are so low, although I noticed them and the ambergris straight after spraying. Land of Warriors can be anguishing: it smells like a cauldron cooking young skins with vegetables and raw wood. The oily castoreum and raw birch wood give it a lingering, almost carnal body. It’s one of those perfumes that smell ‘of birth’. It didn’t seem bad to me. It reminds me of greasy eighties leathers, like Liz Taylor’s, with that sensation of a freshly opened corpse and musky vapours. It opens with a horrible tone of plastic castle or pool mat, but disappears in 15 minutes. After an hour, it reminded me madly of the dry-down of Emporio Armani per Lei. Longevity is regular and the trail is short. I didn’t like it because I don’t subscribe to its notes. More than Vikings, it reminds me of Willow.

  Land of Warriors is difficult in every sense. I like it, but it’s a tough dish to digest. Abstract, avant-garde, and rare. I appreciate the bravery. It smells of intense red leather, embellished with violets, kitchen herbs, and a touch of castoreum that disturbs. It clings to the skin mercilessly, like an alien parasite. It reminds me of Knize Ten, but it’s a fever dream. Sweet, but of gangrene, not cake. Sharp and cutting. It seems eighties but out of place. It’s the most realistic representation of an inflatable castle. After an hour of a chaotic opening that turns your stomach, it settles, and its trail is moderate. The longevity is good. Thanks to Remy for letting me try it many times; it’s one of the most psychotropic perfumes I’ve tested.

  Strange, but very strange. I have a sample of Bofifa that I never tried out of fear. I struggle to imagine who would wear it; it sounds like Freddy Krueger or a Werewolf. It’s difficult, disturbing, and unpleasant for me. It smells like a horror movie with no escape. It’s lightyears from normal (only Blood Concept comes close to this anguish). Do not buy blindly; the price is high for the risk. I have no feeling for it and don’t recommend it, although it becomes more normal as it dries down.

  I was absolutely floored. I ordered decants from this house (without the floral version) and, after reading reviews calling it plastic and artificial, I braced myself for something utterly unwearable. What a surprise! It smells fresh and wearable. I understand the synthetic opening, but for me, it’s an aromatic scent, slightly fruity, like a modern bath gel. It evokes Celtic warriors in a green meadow under a blue sky, not rough types smelling of leather. It doesn’t last long and is quite commercial, less challenging than I thought. Perhaps it’s been reformulated, as it doesn’t match what others say.
