  If you like Roja’s Burlington 1819 you’ll love this. It’s that same vibe but rounder and better balanced. It has medium projection and a longevity that surpasses seven hours. It’s versatile across climates but I see it for formal occasions. I lean towards it being more masculine and I’m enjoying it a lot.

  In the mysterious embrace of darkness Underworld emerges a fragrance weaving a captivating narrative. This elixir awakens the senses with opening notes where pepper cumin and cardamom dance in a bold harmony. In the heart carrot seeds patchouli and vetiver intertwine in an earthly symphony. Like secrets carried on the wind these notes reveal the depth of the core leaving an irresistible trail. The base of neroli mimosa and frankincense wraps the fragrance in a veil of mystery and seduction. Underworld becomes a unique experience where elegance and sensuality converge in a lasting embrace.

  It really surprises me; it’s different from what I’ve tried before. It opens with a blast of spices that can overwhelm and scare but quickly a sweet accord emerges to soften it and make it wearable. I understand that sweetness comes from the patchouli though I find it hard to believe. Everything passes very quickly and soon it smells floral. Although it seems simple I see it as complex. The negatives are the price and limited versatility. It’s not an aroma for everyone to like and yet I love it. Less in heat it’s unisex and for personal enjoyment; use it whenever you want. It performs very well but the price is definitely a fail.

  Reviewing Underworld’s chemistry there’s logic but also notes that break the harmony. If you know your perfumery you know the phases should transition smoothly. Here the structure is a disaster: it starts with pepper cardamom and cumin a vibrant spicy opening typical of niche or classic Arabic scents that promises something warm and dry. Then come patchouli vetiver and frankincense deep earthy and smoky notes that fit the spice perfectly. Up to that point a masculine fragrance with character. But Christèle Jacquemin’s ‘mess’ arrives with tuberose and mimosa. Tuberose is carnal sweet and creamy; mimosa is powdery and yellow. Instead of resins like labdanum she piled on heavy sweet flowers clashing with dirty spices and smoked earth. It’s like ‘milk with vinegar’: the creaminess violently clashes with the acidity of the cumin. Imagine industrial techno and suddenly an off-key gospel choir. It makes no technical sense. There’s a fine line between genius and chaos and sometimes in trying to be different they create capricious compositions with no real structure. You can tell there’s no perfumer’s knowledge behind it and the worst part is you don’t know when to wear such a mess.
