Estoico Luciferino
It was my first oud fragrance, after trying several designer scents like Bottle Intense or Aqua Gio Profumo, and this was the one that truly made an impression. It smells like a forest at 3am after a fire, with blackened and charred trees, and suddenly you find yourself face-to-face with Satan: a hairy, black, shiny humanoid goat under the moon, all incredibly elegant. It’s the scent of darkness; on skin, it smells like dry carbon cream, cold and sophisticated.
Pazuzudan
A blend of oud and animalic leather, potent, strong, and slightly dirty. The rose embraces everything, but what makes it unique compared to other rose-and-oud fragrances are those green leafy notes, perhaps mint, which give it freshness despite its dark character. I’ve worn it alongside Cuir Intense, and both are extremely powerful; you need to use very few sprays and avoid heat, because even in cool weather, applying too much gave me a headache. I won’t part with them because I simply adore the scent.
