Despite its aromatic and herbal profile Alas Purwo seems to be almost refreshing. The way Ijen’s dna carries entire scent from slightly bitter oranges reminiscent of meditative tea on the opening through lots of aromatic sandalwood to soft oceanic ambergris and oud in the base. Entire scent crafted in a gentle and meditative way that’d bring a moment of peace to the busiest out there. Sometimes perfume is more than just a perfume, it’s a story, escape from our bothers into a world in which everything seems to be perfect. Sometimes it’s not even worth diving into details about the notes. When everything is so perfectly blended and harmonious and nothing particularly stands out from the note breakdown I try to look at the scent from different perspective. Instead of breaking it down trying to explain myself each ingredient I close my eyes and focus on overall experience. I see a vision that’s currently unobtainable in my life, I see nature and peace, freedom. The genius trapped in a bottle makes my nose see things eyes cannot. Danis from Ijen is an artist and art speaks a way words cannot compare.
