Ajedrez Sample

The scent The artist This is a 2 ml spray sample. Find the full bottle here.  Time can move forward, or backward. Time is inverted. Sometimes, it seems to stand still. The pause gains importance. In standing still, there is movement.   The chess players’ dimly lit room where sharply-dressed, quiet gentlemen must achieve Zen-like mental states to emerge the victor. Time slows, and this fragrance develops like chess match, graceful and methodical. Bright bergamot is met with a duality of subdued spice – snappy black pepper and cool, green cardamom - that begin to intermingle with the classiest note of them all, the dusty, woody, old-timey floral of orris. Both bright and deep, modern and classical, this would be a gorgeous perfume right there. But stick around, and you’ll start to notice a stately, ambery tobacco - measured smokiness, aged molasses sweetness. Pure meditative elegance suspended in glass.   Notes include bergamot essential oil, black pepper (Jungle Essence™), cardamom (Jungle Essence™), orris extract, lavender (Jungle Essence™), tobacco and amber woods.
