Even longer perfume review.
On first sniff (and right off the nozzle), eau duelle edp opens with the smell of a cold chapel after 6pm mass, and other frigid things.
It teeters on the line between two worlds: the effect of frankincense and myrrh still lingering in the air, being in an old library with an even older book in your hands, the feeling of the weathered paper under your fingers. Neither cool nor warm; neither bitter nor sweet, barely balanced on the line between the two sides of this coin - so much so that by the time you test it on skin and its aloof nature muddles with an airy vanilla, you've forgotten that there was a time when it was anything but.
It smells like composure and conscious restraint. Suitable for the end of the world and other similar events.
