Colère d'Épices
by Esteban

The initial blast is a bit shocking for some reason: It is full of spice but that isn’t what shocks… What shocks are the spices sitting in a background of neutral… ozonics(?) synthetics (?) AIR(?). The background to the opening smells very synthetic to me and I’m not sure I dislike it… It is interesting, and it is genuinely attractive in its own unique way. Unfortunately, the interesting opening is gone in a flash, and what’s left is a floral amber that is generically presented... Then that, too is gone in a flash. I’m not sure that I’ve experienced a fragrance that disappeared as fast as Colere d’Épices... A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and... “Who was that masked man?…”
