Archipelago (2005)
by Oriscent

wow....
I lack the vocabulary to describe this. I just got a sample in the mail from oriscent and I am utterly without words. The closest i can come to describing this is that it smells almost exactly like antique woods. it is extremely warm, full bodied, it fills your nose with stories and memories. This is so much beyond the vocabulry of normal and niche perfumes. I would eat, drink, smoke and inject this stuff if i could. After the initial blast of aoud, which i love by the way, the rustic smell of wood remains and settles down into a more "it's safe to go outside now" attitude. Cant stop sniffing my wrist though as this stuff is truely wonderful. just go for it. not much more i can say, it's truely magical.
